Any idea what this might be? Fungus?

Found it clearing a small bed out today, we used to have a tree here and it seems to have come from a piece of stump, fungus?

Is it quite light in weight?

Did you see any black 'bootlace' type things in the soil near where you found it?
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

Very light in weight, didn't see anything like you describe but there was a lot of undergrowth in there so I couldn't get a good look.

It does look like a fungus of some description.  They do commonly feed on dead matter so it's not necessarily a cause for concern.

I was wondering whether it was honey fungus, which isn't good news, but it looks a little too dark from your photos.  This has the black bootlaces in the soil.

It could be a bracket fungus.

But there are so many varieties of fungus I suspect it might not be possible to definitively identify it for sure.

Don't eat it!
