I have collected Ditiola peziziformis in the past and this (I don't think) is it - it's a much larger (though size is difficult to gauge) distinctively shaped fungus
the top image could be one of the 17 Dacrymyces recorded for GB; the lower one is, I suspect, not the same and could be the early - unidentifiable stage of a bracket; but . . . .
sorry to come across as so negative but I am giving my honest opinion 
Chris

I see what you mean about the young bracket but I still think the first is the Calocera. In M.Jordan it is C.peziziformis.....

If you have based your suggestion from Michael Jordan's Encyclopedia Of Fungi Of Britain And Europe, I think you are mixing Calocera pallidospathulata (Page 368), with Ditiola peziziformis (Page 369).
There is no " Calocera peziziformis" mentioned in that book.
Regards
Mike. |

Mike. | Aha!
thanks for that Mike - I don't have the Michael Jordan book, but didn't think he would make so basic an error;
It is definitely not Ditiola - the name peziziformis means shaped like a Peziza and if you've ever seen it, it is rather -it has a proper, whitish margin contrasting with the yellow central portion, and could at first sight be mistaken for a discomycete
and this shows none of the features I would expect for Calocera pallidospathulata; I think it is probably a Dacrymyces species - though quite possibly not the common D. stillatus
cheers
Chris
