Found these fungi growing on gorse that had been fired during the spring (when it was dry, remember those days  ). 
Your comments and observations welcomed,

Les | The thread title suggested Daldinia vernicosa Les but on seeing the image I'm not sure

John | Actually John, you could well be correct - this MAY be the very young stage of Daldinia vernicosa, with the developing ascocarps initially covered in the asexual (conidial) Nodulisporium state, prior to maturing and developing the sexual ascospores.
The only way to find out would be to re-find it at a later date and see what has happened.

It appears that we have Daldinia vernicosa down as a synonym for Daldinia fissa whereas the Index Fungorum has them as distinct species and I can find little else by way of reference. Would someone like to enlighten me please?

Andy | Thanks Andy; I knew there had to be some good reason I set it up that way and even the previous thread didn't shed any light on the subject Info on distinguishing Daldinia sp. sought please

Yes - definitely Daldinia vernicosa - or whatever the current name change is - and 'pah' I'm fed up of un-neccessarily (thats my opinion   ) having to learn a new name for stuff....... but I'm getting my hair off and off track here - yes it is and as it matures it turns glossy black with remnents of the beige bits remaining  Good Find!
