I think this is :
Honey fungus or Armillaria is a genus of parasitic fungi that live on trees and woody shrubs. It includes about 10 species formerly lumped together as A. mellea.

Armillaria is long lived and form some of the largest living organisms in the world. The largest single organism (of the species Armillaria ostoyae) covers more than 3.4 square miles (8.9 km²) and is thousands of years old. Some species of Armillaria are bioluminescent and may be responsible for the phenomena known as foxfire and perhaps will o' the wisp.

As a forest pathogen, Armillaria can be very destructive. It is responsible for the "white rot" root disease (see below) of forests and is distinguished from Tricholoma (mycorrhizal) by this parasitic nature.

Hi Ruta,
A beautiful community here! i like the low pov a lot and beautiful colours all in the frame. Those mosses always a great gift with the mushrooms. bg is wonderful with that interesting colour. As for the identification, some kind of armillaria, possibly armillaria mellea (honey mushroom), since i'm not 100% sure, don't try to eat theme, before you get sure for the identification, hope this helps:-)

Hi Ruta,
This is a very nice shot.
The detail, sharpness and exposure of the two mushrooms is exceptional. I really like the low POV and your choice of DOF is spot on. Wonderful colours, nicely composed and well framed.
Thanks for posting, have a great weekend
