Any chance of a photograph? Honey coloured mushrooms could be innocuous, but might be honey fungus, which can occur where there's dead wood and is a serious problem. If you post a pic, please ensure the stalk and gills are visible beneath the cap

Also if you cut the stalk, what colour is the sap?

I have added the photo, Bamboo, they're not as honey-coloured this morning as decaying (hopefully?)
Sorry, forgot to photograph underneath but stalks are whitish and gills are almost black.

GrannyB, the sap appears to be light brown inside a whitish stalk.

Susannah, I think you have may have common 'Ink cap' grows in lawns around debris. So if you have some rotting rose roots that could be why they have suddenly appeared.

They are poisonous to people who drink alcohol and should only be eaten by tea totallers.

However, it could also be 'Fairies Bonnet' which are small and grow in very large groups. These also are a member of the 'Inkcap' family.

Don't believe it is 'Honey Fungus' as HF has deeply concave caps, your photo shows bell like caps which is more like the 'Inkcap' family.

hope this helps.

I don't think its honey fungus, but the defining feature is the presence of a 'collar' on the stalk a short way underneath the gills and cap.

Thank you very much for your helpful replies. Can't find a 'collar' so it probably is the rotting wood from the old rose bush which is the culprit in this case. Now I must give up that glass of wine!

Drink the wine ditch the mushrooms. Drink enough and you will see flying elephants without the use of mushrooms. LOL

Sounds like a plan!

Hmm, I dunno, Grannyb, find the right mushrooms and you'll be seeing technicolour flying elephants...

So I've heard, think I stick to the vino LOL
