I have been trying to find an ID for these guys, and I gave up. It is so easy with some, but others just look like dozens of similar ones out there.
I found them in a few spots growing on a fallen and rotten bitch tree in Poland, if that helps, and some of you would know what they are.

A lovely old piece of white bark, fresh, juicy green moss, and intense orange shrooms. The colours were just so pretty!
A forest view break :)
The sun was getting low already and just gently peaking through the leaves. No wind, no rain... just lovely.
A few meters away, I found another birch. More hidden in grasses, but also with the same orange fungi on.
An older one with the hat flipped showing off the gills.
There were plenty of broken (or cut down) branches there. I did check on them too, but they were fresher and not unrough rotten wood yet.
But if they are left there to decompose, it will be a good place to check in a while.
It is also a good spot to pick edible mushrooms and I often see people walking their dogs there or cycling. Quite a popular spot and it doesn't surprise me. It's like a very large, wild park with multiples pats to walk on.
