Waxy crust fungus, Vuilleminia comedens, growing on an oak twig (Quercus sp). Note that it grows under the bark.
I prepared a slide of the spores using the same technique I used for Peniophora quercina. The above image (x600) shows them to be bent sausage-shaped and about twice as large as those of P. quercina. This is consistent with the 'cylindric to sausage-shaped, 18–20 x 5–6um' that Roger's Mushrooms gives for V. comedens.

From back in April: flowers of lady's smock, Cardamine pratensis. Also sometimes called cuckoo flower, and I have vague memories of people calling it milk-maid when I was young. See here for more of my early memories of this plant.
