New fungi species - Coral Spot

I was looking at one of my decomposing log piles and there were dozens of fungi and slime moulds that I couldn't identify - it seems as though every decomposing log is host to its own species. One caught my eye as distinctive however both in colour and form and a while later I spotted its picture. The 'spots' are distinctly warty close up and the fungus is the apparently very common Coral Spot (Nectria cinnabarina).
