Hi there, I went out today with vague hope of finding something like Birch Polypore or Hoof Fungus or Cramp Balls. No such luck I'm affraid. I did come across a couple of fungi I don't know the name of, one I think is trametes gibbosa or lumpy bracket. The other no idea whatsoever.
First the possible lumpy bracket. It's a little bigger than a 50p and the gills are sort of brain like, haven't made a spore print yet.

Next the 100% unknown. roughly 2 inches long, no gills at all, looks like it was some sort of puff ball head. No obvious skirt or ring, or bulbous area at the root.

There were hundreds of the first one, and only several dozen of the second. I think I also came across what looked suspiciously like a magic mushroom - but for obvious reasons didn't pick it... No honestly.
So can anyone help with the ID at all?
Cheers, Nag.
