Another lovely photo, Peter. Is it "sulphureus" for its smell or its colour or for some other reason?

Cheers.

I can only assume that it refers to the colour. The smell is a normal fungusy one with no hint of sulphur. We don't see many of these at my nearby nature reserve of Potteric Carr so it was a nice surprise to find this fine specimen - not to damage or remove of course. Other than a nature reserve I may have been tempted to remove a piece for closer inspection and even taste.
