The white lacy one is Ceratiomyxa fruticulosa; the single grey fungus is Tapesia fusca; the orange ones Orbilia xanthostigma

Metatrichia floriformis (slime mould)

The stalked heads have broken down into these orange strands called capillitia.  Only the 2nd Notts record.

Trametes ochracea

Characterized by the striking golden-brown bands alternating with finely tomentose bands, the blue colours are less commonly seen.  

Dumontinia tuberosa Carlton Wood Carlton-in-Lindrick Notts 12-4-2021

This acomycete is found only where there are plenty of wood anemones, its host plant. Although it is found in bare soil near or among the flowers rather than in or under them, it is still hard to spot, being itself various shades of brown to red-brown. The discs do not usually exceed 2 cms across. It has been recorded here only 3 times between 2012 and 2021, though I’m sure it must occur each year with so many of the host flowers present every spring. It has been recorded also at Papplewick in the south of the county. Not common.

Conocybe intrusa  Carlton-in-Lindrick garden Notts  18-4-2021

A rare Conocybe species which from above and when fresh looks more like a Hebeloma or Agrocybe, or from below a Cortinarius. Most Conocybes are yellow or ochre, slender and small. The gill colour becoming deep cinnamon and the typical lecythiform gill cystidia (inflated cystidia with a neck surmounted by a small head or capitulum) place it among the Conocybes. This was growing in compost in a flowerpot outdoors, which is the kind of place it tends to occur, as well as more frequently in greenhouses. Only about 14 records nationally.
