Looks like a variety of cantharellus/craterellus tubaeformis or similiar. I personally haven't come across a variety of smooth winter chanterelle yet, but in the US they have cantharellus lateritius which can have a very smooth area under the cap. They can mutate drastically and it wouldn't surprise me at all to see a smooth version of a winter chanterelle.

Cheers for the pointer, i think it is Pseudocraterellus undulatus, sinuous chanterelle

I give up.

I keep coming back to Podoscypha multizonata, but i don't think it is.

Might be an earth fan species, compare to one of the thelophora sp

A slime mould species Mike, did you lick it? 😁 possibly one of the Physarum species.

Cheers David ,  i am fairly sure its a sinuous chanterelle. The Earth fans don't quite fit discretion.

Sometimes chanterelle look just like that in bunches amongst hundreds of them. I never thought them to be a mutant as I eat them anyhow.

Beefsteaks yesterday .

The first looks like it has been squeezed out by the tree.

The second is an old one, but what caught my eye was its blue rim. Is this some kind of fungi living on a fungi?
