Found this today, again, never seen anything like it before. Can't find anything similar in Phillips or Jordan.

Growing on a fallen log, in predominantly Beech woodland.

Very small, about 12 - 15mm tall at most.

Regards
Mike.

its on page 350 in philips.

I would go with calocera cornea because its growing out of the wood and the tips of the fungi in your photo are sharp so that points towards cornea as well

I think you may well be right here too. The photo in Phillips shows it being much more yellow overall, but I suppose there will be the inevitable (atypical?) colour variations. General colouring, with the darker tip, shape, size & description are looking good though.
