I have named this.........

..... Dog Turd Fungus.

I would love know what it really is. It is growing on the stump of a Walnut tree which I was obliged to truncate because the squirrel had planted it in the wrong place.

Well, I recall that this is always a kindly forum with no unpleasantness ..................... but that is a crap image!

Many thanks - most helpful.

Was it King Alfred that burnt the cakes? So that is what came out the other end if you ate them.

There are some uncouth people on this site/Thread. Being somewhat more refined my first reaction when I saw it was Oh Shite

Great shot John think I agree with Skylines - King Alfred's Cakes - Daldinia concentrica.
