Judging from other images on the internet this species can be yellow, green/orange or black?

Daldinia Sp

From Tony M

The small 'cramp ball' on the fallen birch trunk was odd - Daldinia decipiens appears to be the only Daldinia with a stipe on Betula.
KOH pigment purple with ascospores dehiscing nicely so you would have thought job done.  BUT the spore size is too small at 12.5 x 6.1 Q=2.1 (n=23). Ref:
The provisional key published by Fournier & Stadler in 2009 and Polyphasic taxonomy of Daldinia, Stadler et al 2014. Not sure where we go from here (& interestingly,
there is decent ITS barcode available on Genbank MB474112 referenced by Stadler et al).

From YM

The C. micaceus were a soggy blob when I got home but I am sure they were these - the spores were right and they had caulocystidia which I had seen with the hand lens in the field.

This one caused a lot of head scratching and thumbing through the pages of Fungi of Temperate Europe

From TM

Cups: 0.6-0.9mm diameter, short-stalked, inner surface smooth, yellow/orange, outer surface covered in brown hairs Hairs: 90-100 x 4-4.5 rough walled, some with granular tips Spores: 6.2 x 1.8 Q=3.4 (n=10) single celled Paraphyses project up to 25um above asci

Finally resolved by SW

I looked through FTE and concluded they had to be

YM & TL both came to the same conclusion

Phaeoholotium nobile

From Tony L

Phaeohelotium nobile is the name I am most comfortable with for the gregarious golden-yellow disco.
The other contender is P. monticola (= Hymenoscyphus monticola on NBN Atlas) but the dimensions of
both spores and asci are closer to the former, moreover some sources describe the latter as having finely verrucose
spores which become brown - neither were observed. There is one record on the Mycota (1995, Foxley Wood, Reg Evans).

From YM

Phaeohelotium nobile. I hesitated as I couldn't see branched paraphyses but they were the best fit. Lit Nordic Macromycetes vol 1
