Hi. Found this colony today on the underside of a large dead tree branch. the branch was burried fairly deep in leaf litter. it was beneath two oaks but there was beech and sweet chestnut in the vacinity.
Tallest specimin was 10mm tall 5mm across the cap and stipe was 4mm wide approx.
I think it may be oak pin-cudoniella acicularis but the ones i have found previously were all white. this has a hairy and greying stipe and the cap is light orange/brown.

Thanks for looking.
regards tn.

I would agree that it doesn't look like Oak Pin that I've seen either.

Can't hazard a guess as to what it will turn out to be - but it looks interesting.

Is it somewhere that you could return to monitor its progress?

Regards,
Mike.

PS - Nice photos.
