This must be a familiar sight to anyone walking in woodland in autumn. This has to be one of our most common fungi as it thrives on tree stumps, grows in dense tufts or clumps and is visible all year round. The cap can vary in size from a little as 2 cm up to nearly 6 cm and they start out convex in shape, then flatten out and eventually have a sort of Dutchman's cap appearance so plenty of variety to confuse the unwary like me!
Certainly not edible and best left alone.
