Can I get confirmation these are velvet shanks and not galerina please? Found in Wales UK growing out of chopped up trees, slimy/sticky caps.

Yes, flammulina velutipes. White spore print would confirm this

That's great thank you very much. I'll keep that in mind for next time.

Galerina marginata have a ring, they don’t have the characteristic velvet stem of velvet shank and they are also noticeably creamy brown not orange
