That's a tricky one Hazel without a spore print to be sure, could be one of Mycena pura or Mycena rosea and i wouldn't like to rule out a possible cortinarius sp.

Thanks for looking Dave unfortunately I think the last couple of nights frost have now killed them off but will keep an eye out and do a spore print if I find one.

This photo was taken at the end of September, is it a coral fungus?

:cool2: Hazel.

It is indeed a type of Coral but i'm not sure which one at the moment.

Taken in deciduous woodland in east Suffolk on 7th July. A Russula (I think), but I'm guessing without spore colour or notes on smell, a tricky i.d., with only cap colour, and habitat to go by (but rather early in the season).

Agreed on a Russula type Brian, and om all the other criteria you have mentioned. A peel test of the flesh on the cap can also be undertaken but a tricky group to confidently id.
