A far cry from the pink blobs that are the early stage of existence for this slime mould species (as shown in the comment box below) Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire.
Unknown species, perhaps Hemitrichia sp but different shaped and coloured sporangium from Hemitrichia decipiens. Also perhaps a springtail sheltering between the stems?? Most likely Arcyria ferruginea, judging from the internet...
This cluster of Arcyria denudata slime moulds on a tiny piece of rotting wood made me think of trees growing out of a rocky hillside in a desert somewhere. Except that they're 5mm high and in my back garden.

Hemitrichia decipiens (left) and Physarum album Slime Moulds go head to head on rotting wood.
Sticking my neck out and tentatively suggesting these are Physarum album. Apparently the 'icing sugar' dusting is actually a protective layer of calcium carbonate. If you go large on the image, I think you can see the tiny spores that it is producing.
A yellow ochre species of Hemitrichia. Thanks to Egle for a couple of suggestions.
