The fluffy pink and orangey resupinate was just a pale Ceriporia purpurea. Spores etc matched and it turned a lovely purple in KOH.
Not a particularly common fungus if the NBN Atlas is anything to go buy.

from Anne
The tiny cups on the dead elm trunk that we found near the end (brown with white hairy edges) were actually a basidiomycete and fit perfectly with
Lachnella alboviolascens. I spent ages looking through ascomycete books and Ellis and Ellis looking for something similar before I looked at it under
the microscope and realised my mistake! Looking at the Norfolk Mycota, this has been found quite a few times before, but its definitely a new one for me.
I attach photos of the hairs and spores. The spores are very large for such a tiny fungus!
(up to 14 x 10.8 microns).

Inkcap Sp Coprinus Sp?
Became
Coprinellus radicellus
From Yvonne
Coprinellus radicellus were the tiny Inkcaps on the dung - these were a nice find as this was a new species to Britain not that long ago.
We have found it in Norfolk before but not that many records.It needs microscopy to identify and there are similar looking species
but can be separated by the shape of the setules on the cap and the germ pore of the spores.
Dung Roudhead (Protstropharia semiglobata)
Eyelash Fungus with Black Hairs
Common Eyelash (Scutelllinia scutellata)
Eyelash type fungus on dung.
After careful removal of the substrate and turning it sideways there were no visible stellate hairs. I tried this a second time and managed to remove all the substrate (surprising how tough they were)
and there were no visible stellate hairs.
Thus
Cheilymenia fimicola
A few more pictures to support this id
The paraphyses are cylindrical with swollen tips.
The hairs have a sharp point.

I thought the tiny cyphelloid fungus on the grass was Arrhenia retiruga but Tony L thought it was Calyptella capula so that one is a bit iffy !
