Have a look at Hairy curtain crust, Stereum hirsutum, see quite a bit around us, normally on dead trees. Seems to flush in quite large blooms. Not edible or with any medicinal uses I'm aware of.

 

[Broch]

I concur; either Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor) - what Philips calls ochraceous-rust colour or, as baggins says, Hairy Curtain Crust.

That's quite a easy one to identify because it's quite unique - earthstar.

 

[punkrockcaveman]

Definitely some kind of earth star. I'll get on the roger phillips book later!

Easy for you!!

Thank you Wander - appreciated.

Kind of.
Once you know what they are you'll never confuse them for anything else.

Oh, and I should say, lucky find for you! They're not common. I've never seen one in the wild.

It could be any one of a number of Earth Stars TBH but based on the colouring I would suggest Sessile Earthstar (Geastrum fimbriatum).

I have to look these up because none of them are edible, to my knowledge, so I don't tend to commit them to memory.

Found in the Grounds of Lanhydrock.

I came across this this the other day and was wondering if it's Chicken of the Woods?

I would say not- it's likely to be blackening polypore or possibly beefsteak fungus (although this is typically more red in colour). Pics of the underside and tree species may help to ID.

Evening all . I wonder if any one can identify this fungus growing on a conifer stump I chopped the tree down about 12 years ago and its been hidden by a fence I recently (2months ago ) cleared the area and made the stump my wood chopping area went up today and this is what greeted me .

They are older specimens in your pic. Have a Google search- you'll see plenty of pics as they are a very common mushroom. I promise you they are sulphur tufts
