Gully, finally concluded this is Hygrocybe flavescens as you suggested or H. Chlorophana. Different species names, but most likely the same. H. Chlorophana described 100 yrs earlier than flavescens. http://www.mushroomexpert.com/hygrocybe_...
Thanks gully.moy!
I'm not sure how decayed a log needs to become before a fairly large Hygrocybe will grow on it, but this could be Hygrocybe flavescens.
