Thanks Karen! I will have to keep looking!

Could be, but I'm used to seeing a well exposed stem and ring in the photos of honeys. The first time I encountered an actual honey in the wild I knew it immediately. Been hunting them for about 3 years now, actively

Karen, this is about a meter away from the edge of the wood so I think it could be growing from tree roots. That said, I am a complete novice with regard to fungi!

Doesn't appear to be growing on wood... I'm guessing not honey
