Auricularia auricula-judae (currently usually known as Jelly Ear)
Stereum hirsutum (Hairy Stereum)
The air was full of birdsong, specially song thrushes, which always start singing early and though they're sadly in decline across the UK, they continue to thrive in the Dells, by the Water of Leith. The hazel trees are a mass of catkins, I tried to take a photo, but the camera refused to focus on both the dangling male catkins and the tiny, red female flowers, so I'll need to wait until next time I see a hazel tree!

very neat fungi.
That is what autumn looks like here, can't imagine seeing those many-shades of rich browns in the spring.
TexWisGirl - thanks!
debbie - it's what autumn looks like here too, but we've had such a damp amd mild winter that it's felt like an extended autumn!
Great finds, cool looking fungi!
Hi Juliet,
Love all the fungi.
Interesting how the weather has been so mild in some of the parts of Europe.
Must have been nice hearing the bird song.
happy day
hugs

What great photos. It's wonderful to see a glimpse of your world. :)
Beautiful fungi. I thought you guys up in Scotland were having -20 temperatures. It looks like it's not only down south where winter has failed to turn up.:-)
Greetings from London.
