Jelly-like fungus on pine

Whilst at Holme Dunes in Norfolk at the weekend one unidentified fungus in particular has proved to be tricky to even get to genus, despite going through a number of different fungus books. It looked and had the consistency of a jelly fungus, but had gills/gill-like folds. It was growing on a pine stump, which seems to rule out quite a few species. There were three, but they weren't overlapping. The overall habitat was the edge of some pines in a mature dune system. Having eliminated things like Crepidotus and Pleurotus, one of the Hohenbuehlia has been suggested, but I would appreciate the thoughts of anyone who has seen something similar.
