FungiFriday - Birch eaters

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.

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.
