These are not showing the characteristics I would associate with Dacryopinax spathularia. Seem too orange, not enough yellow, though that can be a photographic or environmental thing. They also seem to have a more distinct 'bracket look' with a distinct stipe (stem) and a textured upper surface not present in the D. spathularia. Though again this could be a photographic thing. The body of the fungus appears to have a slightly convex upper surface (pileus) and slightly inrolled margins. Again characteristics I would not expect to see in D. spathularia. Whatever it is it's a delightful little fungus. I know it's a long time ago but were there any images of the undersurface?

I wasn't able to get images of the undersurface. They were so tiny my camera couldn't focus so I had to resort to using a macro lens attached to a smart phone which also struggles somewhat to focus clearly. Will look out for these again in the future and try for better photos.

You did well considering the challenges presented! Hope you have another opportunity to record these delightfull little fungi.
