Seen on the grass verge outside our road. The mound must be 40 cm wide - I’ve never seen anything like it! There’s another, smaller one too.
I dare say some GNer will know what it is.

a group of honey fungus. They are parasitic and live on tree roots etc, they end up destroying the tree which might be several metres away

Goodness, should I get rid of them then?

That's quite a cluster!
It spreads underground, we had some in the lawn where we had a tree removed.
