Please can you advise me about a new fungus that has started to grow in my lawn. I think it looks lovely but I don’t want it to spoil the lawn or hedges. Should I leave it or will it spread everywhere? I also have a veg patch close by it.
I think that's a coral fungus @mandy.robins70 I took a photograph this afternoon of the orange one. There are different colours. They usually grow on rotting wood, might there be some under your lawn? As far as I know it won't do any harm but hopefully steephill or one of the other fungi bogs on here will be along shortly to confirm or otherwise.
As already suggested it is one of the coral fungi, most probably Ramaria stricta as that is the most commmon species in the UK. It isn't poisonous and won't be a problem in the garden. Enjoy it while it lasts as it will fade away soon enough.
I have to confess that it's members on here that answer my ID questions that has encouraged me to continue my hobby and for that I thank them. When I started I was more interested in edibles but now I want to know what they all are.

I am eagerly waiting for my red and white spotty toad stools to retun this autumn. Sorry, memory failure.
