Anyone recognise this mushroom/fungus?

Spotted this fungus today in the garden, lots of small patches.

They are very small individual brown to dark reddish fungi that form in clusters.

Any idea what they are and if they are a threat to the trees in my garden?

Thanks

 

any ideas on this mystery fungus?

 

I found these growing down the garden today.

 

Most fungi need a few close-ups of the gills and stem to have much chance of ID, but it might
be Gymnopus fuscopurpureus?

 

My only useful contribution is that it isn't honey fungus, which would be bad news for your trees. But there are lots of fungi which help to break down dead organic matter, and I think that's what you have there, feasting on the woodchip. Sorry not to be more specific... perhaps there's a fungus expert on GC?

 

I think @Hanglow knows a fair bit about fungi, so perhaps they'll see my tag and be able to help.

As @Liriodendron says, most fungi are harmless, and it's just that time of year when you see all sorts in gardens and surrounding areas @Floyd

 

Here's another one that grew overnight, and part of my foot for size comparison.

 

Here's another type in our garden. Its around the base of this prunus so I'm guessing the roots may be rotten but paranoid it could be honey fungus as I have had various species succumb to fungus this year (latest being our large wester red cedar which we are taking down now sadly)

 

I think it might be a Parasola, possibly P.plicatilis, or pleated ink cap. We have honey fungus in this garden so I'm confident that your fungus is different from that.

 

It also looks a bit like Coprinellus disseminatus, the Fairy Ink Cap, which grow on (already dead) tree roots etc. As @Liriodendron says, not HF.
Coprinellus disseminatus, Fairy Inkcap mushroom

 

Thanks @Liriodendron and BobTG - I thought it might be the roots so sounds right with ink cap. I don't think it has long left...

 

I get large patches of them of them, they are near my silver birches but my neighbour used to have ash trees a short distance away that were felled a few years ago, so maybe this is showing where their roots extended to my side.

 

There are some more fungus on another thread:

Solved - Not sure if this forum cover fungi but hope it does.
