At first look they look like Honey Mushrooms (Armillaria sp.) to me. If you look really close (use a magnifier), they should have tiny, erect hairs at the center of the caps.
Keep watching them for awhile. As they mature it should be more obvious what they are.
Happy mushrooming!

Yeah, looks like honey mushrooms, never seen them all the way around the tree as they are in your picture. Looks like the tree is sinking into a sea of honeys.

Woah - I was just about to declare mushrooms impotent to clean forest debris until I saw your guys. They've got a system!

Hey Marley!
I was foraging in one of my favorite spots last week (in a stand of oaks behind some houses) and a guy came out to chat. Very nice guy..we talked for about a half-hour; told me about how hawks hunt in pairs in that spot. He also told me that they want to knock down the beautiful centuries-old stand of oaks to build a f*cking RETENTION POND!
  
He said that the neighborhood was fighting it tooth and nail. I asked him where I should donate to support his cause.
Anyway, he also tipped me to a "house-locked" area of public land that hadn't been touched for about 50 years! I had to hop a fence, but I found these, a cincinatus, and a herd of deer.
