Armillaria mellea
The woods were full of these beautiful honey mushrooms. With age, they have nearly flat, tan/orange caps, white gills, a partial veil, and stems with flocculence. Sizes ranged from 6-12cm tall.
I spotted at least 50-100 honey mushrooms growing in clusters throughout a deciduous forest.
Honey fungus is a "white rot" fungus, which is pathogenic to trees and shrubs. It can grow on living, decaying, and dead plant material.
