Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca (False Chanterelle) doesn't have the ring that the first picture shows, and doesn't have grooves on the tup of the cap. Paul - if you want to get a mushroom identified more positively you also need to supply the size, a picture of the gills or pores (i.e. the underside of the cap), and a picture of a spore print (put the cap on a half black, half white piece of paper for a day, then remove and take a picture of the resulting pattern). Smell and texture are useful pieces of information too.
Strange, my big book of mushrooms doesn't have Leucocoprinus luteus listed. And it describes itself as the most comprehensive of mushrooms and otehr fungi of Great Britain and Europe. It's by Roger Phillips.
