When I cut into a section, you could see the concentric rings perfectly.
Dessicated Witches' Butter (Exidia glandulosa). None of us knew what this was, being novices, until Dorset Mushroom Hunters enlightened me on Ispot and I did an experiment and rehydrated it, and the results are shown below .
Elder Whitewash (Hyphodontia sambuci).
The snow lying in the woods can sometimes help with finding and photography on mid-winter forays, as it throws the light up so well.
