Need some guidance please

It's me again.

I found some new (to me) fungi today. The first I'm fairly certain is a Panaeolus semiovatus Just need confirmation on that one, found in pony-grazed grassland.

Next I think may be some sort of stagshorn? I can't find a likeness. Found on a beech twig.

And the last I have no idea. It's on my favourite Beech trunk, along with fairy inkcaps, giant polypore, dead mans fingers, stump puffball and a host of others. It is about 1.5cm across, and the only examply of it on 20ft of trunk

so probably very young.

Many thanks.

I think you are right with Panaeolus semiovatus. The second is Xylaria hypoxylon.
Can't help with the third.

Good grief! I'd never have matched mine with the photo of xylaria in my book! Thanks Flaxton, that's a great help.

I don't really expect anyone to know the last one, probably in a few days time we can have a clearer picture.
