My notes on this genus are:
Tubaria (6) Cortinariales – Crepidotaceae
Habitat : Decaying wood, wood-chips, leaves, with mosses or on soil.
Stature : Collybioid, Mycenoid. Cap 2-60mm. Mostly ochraceous to reddish-brown.
Spores : Pale yellowish to cinnamon brown, smooth, ellipsoid, bean-shaped, or lemon-shaped, thin-walled.
Gills : Adnexed to decurrent, often broad.
Cap cuticle : Cutis of cylindric repent hyphae.
Other Features : Stipe with or without ring,
Useful Chemicals : KOH may cause spores to collapse.
Literature :
Breitenbach & Kranzlin (1995), Fungi of Switzerland Vol.4. (4 taxa) No. 462 - 465
Hansen & Knudsen (editors) (1992), Nordic Macromycetes Vol. 2: p.340 (4 taxa)
Knudsen & Vesterholt: Funga Nordica (2008) p.782 (5 taxa)
Courtecuisse & Duhem (1995), Collins Guide to Mushrooms & Toadstools (5 taxa) No. 1233 - 1237
Phillips R. (2006), Mushrooms. p.230 (2 taxa)
Notes from the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, Vol.41 p.620, T. confragosa.

Well, either Tubaria confragosa or Tubaria furfuracea. Macroscopically they look closer to Tubaria confragosa. If you've got the micro details I'd be interested to see them.
I've found very similar on woodchips from midsummer and they are still producing. Macroscopically they fit Tubaria confragosa, but microscopically they are closer to T furfuracea, both in cheilocystidia shape and in spore size (narrower than T confragosa). But they don't look like the T furfuracea I'm used to. Bigger, more robust, much redder, and with a definite ring.  
And this on Bioimages interests me. His match mine very closely. And his thoughts mirror mine. Tubaria aff. confragosa (a twiglet)

Hello,
looking at the cap surface, this collections seems more likely to ba a Flammulaster or something, but not a Tubaria.
best regards,
Andreas

The PP is made up of a chain of swollen encrusted elements if that helps.

Mal | Hmmmmm. Looks as if I was barking up the wrong tree  
Yours seems to be growing from soil too, or is that roundish thing an old hawthorn berry?

It was a patch of bare soil in grassland near oak.

Just been looking at the new format Bioimages site (see thread near top of list). They have a photo of a Tubaria with wide spaced forked gills. Tubaria pallidispora. although I know nothing about this species.

Peter | I've just had a look at Lange's "Tab. 128" in Flora Agaricina Danica (he described this taxon) and the spores of Mal's fungus look very different from those depicted there
