| | | More from the woodpile
I'd never realised how fascinating piles of damp, rotting wood could be!
Some more below that I'd appreciate identifications for, all from branches in varying states of decay in my wood pile.
Q1. and 2 - same species?
1.  2. 
Q3. Presumably A, B and C are the same species at different stages of development? 
Q4. 
Q5. Some sort of algae? 
Q6. Xylaria - are these Xylaria hypoxylon again? 
Thanks in advance,
Jenny |

If you find the Hypholoma on pines Jenny it may well be Hypholoma capnoides. The gills of which don't go a dirty yellow colour as in H. fasciculare

I think Number 5 is Exidia nucleata, rather than Exidia thuretiana.
Both photos of number 6 show Xylaria hypoxylon, rather than Xylaria longipes. Xylaria longipes is much chunkier. |

Consider for Q3 also Coryne dubia (the anamorph of Ascocoryne sarcoides) concerning the "different stages". They likely appear side by side.

1. 2.
. . . . | I'm not happy about this being Hypholoma fasciculare . . . . I suspect it is Pholiota gummosa / P. ochrochlora - these two taxa almost certainly being conspecific
cheers
Chris

Looks like Hypholoma to me Chris! Some have the classic 'frosty' appearance of young specimens that have remained dry. | | | |
