Ok tks. Just saw your reply

This is also nearby on the wood chip, probably same thing

Yeah that's the charmingly named Dog's Vomit Slime Mould Fuligo septica.?

Not to be confused with the similar Dog's Vomit Slime Mould Mucilago crustacea which occurs in grass.

I found this growing on moss next to the base of a healthy Sitka Spruce and was wondering if anyone could shed some light on what it might be.

That's a lichen of some sort. Possibly some sort of Peltigera but I'm not that good with lichens.

 

This might help: http://www.britishlichens.co.uk/pi_leafy.html

 

Possibly Peltigera membranacea or Peltigera canina?

Thanks for the reply. Initially I did wonder if it was a lichen but a few people I asked suggested it was probably a fungus of sometime but it just didn't look it to me.

 

Just looked at the link you supplied and it definitely seems to be Peltigera membranacea

Having never seen it before March, found another massive Oak Mazegill.
And these were growing in the corner of my trailer

Lovely crop of Mycena! Wouldn't like to take a stab at species, but the colour, the noticeably lined cap with ragged margin and slightly-flattened-off top (which reminds me of M. pseudocorticola), does narrow things down quite a bit.
