Wondering if I can get some help with this please, growing on forest floor with conifers, approximately 5-6 inches high and 3-5 inches wide, soft and velvety texture with pores. bruises brown. I hope this is enough information as I am stumped with this one.
Really enjoying the forum,well done   
Many thanks

Hi and welcome to WAB.
I think Phaeolus schweinitzii might be a good contender
Regards,
Mike. |

Hi Robert
I think you have a young fruit body of: Phaeolus schweinitzii (Dryer's Maxegill) This is frequent on the roots of conifers.

I only ever find it (infrequently) on the cut stumps of Scots Pine and Douglas Fir - never roots, yet.

the moss is a Dicranum species - possibly D. majus
