5 groups of these clustered together in overlapping style but not 'cascade' style. In the same part of the river bank as the white and orange fungus' that were growing on branches.

Nice group of fungi here. I've confirmed they belong to the genus Corinarius, I don't know the species. They are showing the typical characteristics for this genus, the texture and colour of the cap (pileus) and I can see what looks like a dusting of spores in image 3 centre of the photo, the pileus behind that is partly overlapped by the one in front looks slightly smoother and rusty. In addition, the colour of the gills (lamellae) and that purple in the stem (stipe) is very typical of this genus.

Note that you have trained me well and I now take an old hand bag mirror with me in to the woods along the river!!

Well done! Hope you're getting to see more and enjoying some surprises. That way you're likely to see more and gain a greater understanding and appreciation of what you are looking at. There's also the added advantage that it gives me more of a chance to be able to identify your finds for you! So thank you..........
