Having lain dormant for a year, after being ravished by an overzealous gardener, my sacred patch has sprung back to life (psilocybe cyanscens).

It's some kind of mazegill; I'm not sure which one (anyone?) The black and white colouring I haven't seen anything quite like it before.

I think it's porpolomopsis calyptriformis - the pink waxcap:

Apparently they're endangered, and indeed you can see that a slug was just about to eat them - what a terrible fate!

This is a nice thread. I think the mazegill is just that mazegill, Daedalea quercina, darkening with age, and that the last mushroom is Mycena rosea.

I think so, but I'm not an expert, and happy to learn. There are other Xylaria it could be, such as Xylaria longipes.
