A few finds from my walk with Basil.

Heteromycophaga glandulosae on Witches' Butter (Exidia glandulosa) attached to oak (Quercus. sp). The galls themselves are very tough compared to the gelatinous, soft bodies of the Exidia.

Hyphae with clamp connections. Conidia oblong with drops. 7-10 x 2.5-3.5 microns. 

Beech Tarcrust (Biscogniauxia nummalaria)

Peniophora quercina.

Reticularia lycoperdon a species of myxomycete. It resembles a piece of bubble gum to me.
