Gills don't appear to be yellow enough for a Phylloporus. Looking at image 4 it appears the specimen on the left has a cortina (a web-like ring) with rusty coloured spores. If this is the case I would be thinking this lovely group of fungi most probably belong to the genus Cortinarius. In image 3 if you look at the ground to the left of the frungus in the foreground you will see coloured spores on the soil. Do you feel the colours in the images are the same as you saw in the field?

Hi Pam, Yes I think the colours are fairly accurate.

Then the gills are definitely not yellow enough for Phylloporus. I'll be guided by the other moderators that know the fungi in your area better than me.
