No, it's not a trick question. I struggle with fungi identification and would really like someone to tell me what this is. When I first noticed it I thought the colouring of the cap was the way it grew but on closer inspection it appears to have been grazed by a slug.
It stands about 100 mm tall and is growing on a very old tree stump which is tight against the side of a Larch tree; but it's hard to say if the stump was originally also a Larch.
I don't ever recall seeing a fungus like this and if I ever did it's obviously been lost in the mists of memory.
