Tiny red clusters of fungus on branch.

I found these growing on a fallen branch, the most colourful thing I've seen today. I would love to know what they are.



Hopefully it is one that can be identified, it's such an attracive little thing.

These are Nectria fungi and possibly Nectria punicea which is quite common at this time of year.

Unfortunately microscopic examination would be required for a positive ID
