Found some more nice fungi yesterday (I had the day off so had time to do a good walk round the park and surrounding fields)

Firstly I'm fairly sure these are Mycena pura

And I think this might be Ramaria aurea, going on the pictures and description in 'Rogers', but I'm far from sure!

(Edited to add species guess on the second one)

I agree with your first id.

For the second, I wondered about Clavulina cristata, which is very common, but I have not seen yellow tips. This sample does show them though:

I think you're probably right on the second one, I initially discounted it as the colour is listed white/greyish but the size (which I didn't mention) does match better than my attempt at ID!

Also it's simply more likely as that is a common species, the Ramaria is rare..

Thanks!
