This was on a long-dead Elm trunk along the Access Trail. Quite denticulate/papillate, with a slightly fluffy whitish margin. Lovely insulation around a wire effect!
A possible young Byssomerulius corium on a small branch by the Beech (Fagus sylvatica) shaw found on way back to The Forstal. Howver it could equally also be Basidioradulum radula.
This is also quite an interesting find - I think it just might be Byssomerulius asj well because under the hand-lens I could just see what appears to be the start of the wiggly undulations on the hymenophore. The hymenophore surface was a lovely light tan colour, but that layer appeared very thin, overlying a white felt-like fibrous layer that might just fit the description "un-encrusted". Overall the body is thin and was very easily sliced by my sharp knife, with no apparent "bleeding" at all. The body edges are apparently turning up from the branchlet, even at this apparently young stage.
In the picture below you can see at the edges the white felt-like layer under the hymenophore.
Wood wart perhaps, possibly on Beech, and if so it might be the Beech Woodwart, Hypoxylon fragiforme, beside the Beech Shaw on the way back from the Access Trail by Hadlow.
Beetle hole I think into (or out of) the wood of the branchlet. One mm or perhaps two across. It is of course a whole little universe to be found in rotten wood.
