Hello David

 

Sarcoscypha sp.

 

either ruby elfcup (S. coccinea) or Scarlett elfcup (S. austriaca)

 

spore size under microscope needed to determine which one.

Came across this today on a prospective job site and thought it looked like a Mattheck sketch come to life!

Cool tree

A few bits and pieces this week.

 

Some jelly ear (wood ear) and rot within a large beech that came down in the recent storms.

Small bracket on what looked to be an old willow of sorts. 

 

Ganoderma (I believe), but which one?

Hi AJ

Wonderful Cauliflower Fungus specimen - great find.

It's not easy identifying fungi from photos and the less there are, the harder it is, but I suspect your coral is Ramaria rather than Clavulina as the latter usually has finer tips than this.

No 3 looks like it might be Freckled Dapperling Echinoderma asperum (size, general features and esp the cap with widely distributed, small, pointed scales). 4 is possibly Deceiver Laccaria laccata.

Sorry to stick my nose in your post!
