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

Certainly will. Currently doing P&D Module at University so generally have my eyes peeled.

Inspecting a Cappadocian maple today and literally stood on top of a nice wee group of Sarcoscypha sp, either S. coccinea - scarlet elf cup, or possibly S. austriaca, which apparantly is the more common of the two species.

Had to call a fiend with this one as I couldn't key it out with any of my books

 

Lentinula edodes - Shiitake

 

Not native to the UK, so the holes in the oak substrate (which I originally had thought were insect holes) probably had inoculated dowl plugs.

 

Possibly dumped on to the Heath by someone who didn't get a 'crop ' back in their garden.

No this is not one of the coral type fungi, it's probably a slime mold species of the Stemonitis genus.
