I've looked for this in the past without luck and this year it will pass me by again probably - so I will admire yours again!!

I find you have to find a nice damp spot - get on your hands and knees and lift up the dead leaves one by one and look underneath. Sometimes a little cloud of spores gives away the location before you actually see the fungus

Thanks all, worth scrabbling around while people look at you in wonder.
Good advice Peter, you just missed out the knee pads.

Hello,
I prefer the latin name of Ciboria amentacea (spores ~ 8 µ) for the species on Common alder and Corylus sp.
Ciboria caucus cams with Salix sp. and has spores more longer (11-12 µ).
Another species comes with Corylus sp. : Ciboria coryli, with spores of ~16 µ
