I could probably google around, but I know you guys like a challenge.

Found at ground level in an old wound on an oak.

Extraordinary red colour.

Fistulina hepatica? Colour looks 'beefsteaky'.

You could be right.

I thought it might be something rare, never mind..

Thanks.

Don't take my word for it. It was basically a guess based on the colour. Far more knowledgeable minds will give their opinion soon I'm sure.

Well, I agree it's a beefsteak fungi so you could cook it rare. It looks like a very young one so more of a veal steak?

I think that is what David would call an anamorph  (the asexual form).
