Wrong. Someone has dropped some Scotch pancakes.

 

They look like some form of funnel, common of tawny possibly. An underside pic would be helpful.

Nice wander at Westonbirt Arboretum over the last couple of days. Chuffed to have found Cauliflower fungus and the The Prince for the first time, I ate the Prince - was really good quite sweet flavour and same texture as portobello.

Closest I can seem to get is Amethyst Deceiver (Laccaria amethystea) but I'm not at all confident.  In the buttress of a mature Beech 6 Oct 19.  Any takers??

I would agree with amethyst deceiver, common under beech trees ( ectomycorrhizal I note). They can often grow quite large and become misshapen when old.

 

There's some good pics here of mature specimens.
