I'm tempted to say: mouldy & chewed immature Gymnopilus junonius. The very granular/frayed cap of the specimen you're holding puzzles me. Perhaps someone rubbed it with sandpaper :-)

They were in the area under the root ball of a large tree. I carefully took one out - it’s the one I’m holding.

No one sandpapered it.

Has it been infected by a hypomyces maybe?

One of my plant apps thinks it is family Hypocreaceae

Kind of cool to have a fungus do that to another fungus. Any way to confirm?
