I like the last one best, as the fungus is very well isolated. Great!

Presumably Agrocibe sp.

The strangest thing I found today! First noticed the small (~10cm) "marshmallows" on the first photo and after that the 40-50 cm stuff on the second photo. All these on branches (80-100 cm in diameter) of a big tree in botanical garden. In generally about 6-7 meters above the ground (On the photos! Some were higher). It looks like a spray foam but it could be also fungus or a slime mold and that is the reason I post it here. Very perplexing, obviously I have to go back and talk with gardeners or supervisor!!!

My first though:
This is construction/spray foam! (PU foam!)
Esp. the second photo looks like it.

Good catch @ISv

It still could be polyurethane! I have to talk with the personnel of the botanical garden. This things are so high on the tree, I can't take a sample...

Arborists sometimes use this sort of thing to fill holes etc in damaged trees that could otherwise lead to borers etc getting in. Maybe that's it. I immediately thought of slime mould too - but it doesn't look like it in close-up!

Problem solved: I took a trip to the same garden and talk with the only gardener that was present - it's a PU spray! They used it to prevent the bees to make a nests on that tree (it has happened in the past resulting in some problems for the visitors/stuff ). Took some fast photos when cursing the garden in search for a gardener.

Some from today: First two Leucoagaricus meleagris (?), after that Coprinellus disseminatus...

I really like this picture. Very nice composition.

Well done, Jethro.

Judging by the size and the white lamellae it's probably a species of Mycena.

Thank you! It's on a particular fallen moss-covered log on a walk a little way from my house. The light and angles from it are just tailor-made for shots like this. I've had a lot of good results from it over the years.

Whatever this is, it looks nice, esp. with that gnat/fly.

?!: it looks Like a Lactarius (Milchling) but isn't it so early? If you have an opportunity to pass around again could you scratch the gills to see if there is some "milk" drops to appear?

Thanks once again, ISv, for sharing your knowledge.
That is an old photo from back in November. I have a long backlog of photos I haven't processed yet.
Being out, enjoying nature is more to me than sitting in front of a monitor, processing photos I've taken.
