any ideas on these babies?

Hi Peter

I hate identifying fungi from photos but these are of the genus Coprinus. I suspect they are C. atramentarius the common ink cap. Thy look a bit yellow to me - possibly a low winter sun.

Cheers

Malcolm

Hi Peter

From the books I have I would agree with Malcolm's ID - nice shot!
