Very surprised to see these at the edge of the hedge while I was putting the bins out! They are Geastrum Triplex, known as collared earthstar, and apparently not uncommon. Often seen after rain, so I suppose that’s not surprising!
Certainly nothing I’ve previously come across, despite having had a phase of being very interested in fungi in my youth. I thought at first that they must be something man made. We get a lot of puffballs in the lawn, and those rather rude looking ones that end up as a pile of black slime. Plus the rather pretty fly agaric.

I've noticed a few bits and bobs appearing over the last week. Nothing that glamorous though
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
