orange-cream-brown. they were growing next to each other, not as patch more like in a row. attached at the wood direct (not at the bark or benath it) , where this species was,was the wood still dense (by some species, can you feel, how decayed the wood benath is) pear shape,surface with crust/flakes .
hardwood . more leaf than needle trees, 5 meter away from a little river
will go tomorow to look for some new specimen,to get some spore-pics. (have already searched a bit myself, but to be honest: i was lazy. when someone has a suggestion, would appreciate it.) ==== The last picture is from several days later, what first looked like little fruiting-bodies (of a slime mold), was little pins from a flush mushroom, still to young to suggest anything specific, but it could be some sort of pholliota or sulphur-tufts! maybe i will go and look again!

hi clive, yes very baby, so little baby, that i first thought, it was a myxomycota-sporangia, They were all the same age (not one with anything cap-like) and very tiny. The last picture is from several days later, orginally i wanted to pick up some specimen for microscopic spore-analysys. But when i stood at the location, i was amazed to see a Young mushroom (with stem and cap). They are to imature to say much to the id, maybe genus pholiota or young sulphur tufts. I wanted/should go back, but since yesterday is everything "white" here. Honestly: it's to cold now, for me to out for the few species i could find under or above the snow. In summer/good times i come back at home, after 3-4 hours outside, with alsmost 300-400 pictures. Last weekend, i was out for 5 hours and got 67 pictures, 8 species. That's silly/boring, i want the summer back !!!!
maybe Pholiota genus...?
i added 1 "clearifying" picture
thanks lars
