Tis the season to see Fungi, fa la la la la....

Looks more like a burr in the second pic...

I did wonder that with fall approaching squirrels can be getting feisty scraping thin barked trees too so that may account for the colour.

Last two look like Coprinellus disseminatus (fairy ink cap) & a dried out Tremella mesenterica.

Andy Overall showed me some of the Tremella looking like this last year and said it was more likely to be T. aurantia. Is there Stereum nearby? It's a parasitic fungus on another species, which would determine the species of Tremella.

Stumbled upon a pretty rare species at work today devouring a long time felled ash trunk.

 

Pluteus aurantiorugosus

Out at Sculthorpe Fen today in Norfolk.

 

Fair amount of myco's about around the birch, alder, hazel and ash including Leccinum scabrum (birch bolete), death caps and the blusher
