Found this on a sycamore yesterday any ideas ??

 

 

 

John, here's a set of Daldinias to compare, that I saw on an ash a few years ago.

 

Very similar.

 

Though I think both these sets (the pink colouration) aren't nescesarily the norm.

The secretion of black fluid (last photo) is characteristic for D. concentrica, just as the concentric silvery and black circles are if you cut a specimen vertically in half. And the colour varies from purplish grey when young to reddish brown and black when old.
