Literally not a clue. Opinel number 8 blade for scale
Believe it or not, these are.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enokitake
As is often the case with fungi, you need to be familiar with them (The Miller and Trooping Funnel) in the flesh to stand much chance of getting the identification of a photo right. And in fact, it may not even be Trooping Funnel, but it definitely isn't The Miller.
My daughter collected this piece of bark, and this little mushroom grew (it has been in the container since collection.
Any idea what it could be? I know it's small. It's growing on Maple bark.

I thought they were sulphur tuft as I had similar in my woods which I posted here last year to be identified.
Is there an easy way to identify between the two?
I thought velvet shank - then I checked the link that Geoff supplied and found that velvet shank is one of the wild forms of enokitake so you learn something new every day.
Looks like Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor) or a closely related Trametes species. In which case I believe it is described as unpalatable rather than poisonous.

It can be consumed for medical reasons. It is an immune system modulator. It is boiled into a drink if you are feeling rundown. There is quite a lot of research into it medical properties.

It can indeed and being an immune system modulator, it can be used even in cases of autoimmune disease where you might think twice about using immune stimulating herbs like Echinacea - so very useful.
Not great tasteing though so might want to use it as the Chinese often use Reishi - using the decoction (the liquid from boiling) as the base for a broth or soup and flavouring with other ingredients to cover the taste.
