Coral Spot

what's going on here, just ignoring ? that someone would not believe blind only one person: Ok!. but here are already 2 amateur-mycologists who point you into the direction of "genus dacrymyces" !! but that's your decision! Your pics get looked so often by so many, you of all,should have correct id's!!

Coral Spot as well are pink or dark red not orange. dacrymyces capitatus, jelly fungi when old, it dries harder and darker.

Coral Spot grows on the bark of living trees and it can cause damage. If its dead wood I am not very sure its Coral Spot.

On spruce these markings could probably be made by Ips typographus or Pityogenes chalcographus.

btw. i doubt THIS is a coral spot. It doesn't seems to belong to the Nectria Family.

Nice spotting! You can also see the old tunnels of a bark-beetle in the wood. Was it an old spruce stem?

i have more suggestion for fungi in the direction of ascomyceten !!!

i think this is a actual fungi. It doesn't look like any lycogala i have seen so far (i recently found some: ( http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/8520490 ) take a look and you will maybe be able to predict a little bit "near future"!!!)! For a fungi-id do i have few id-suggestion-ideas. ( http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/8526628 ). Some more picture would be nice, not only for id-ing, but also just to admire,especially from your hand.
