Some sort of Fungi has appear in a long line as if following an under
ground root but there is no large tree in the area. Anyone know what it
is and if its a good or bad thing!

Looks like one of the Ramarias (I'm no expert - simply got a book with
pictures!). AKA Fairy Clubs or Upright Coral Fungus. Possibly R.
stricta, which my book says grows on decayed stumps and buried
branches. Did a branch get buried there, in the past?

yep. coral fungus. Grows on *dead* wood. Harmless IIRC. Some people say
its edible, but there is not a lot of meat on it.

One of the *many* coral fungi. I would start with Clavulina cinerea.

Some coral fungi are edible, some poisonous, some laxative, many
have unknown edibility.

Thanks every one.
The only dead wood I can think of is the remains of some large trees
which had died in the 1960's the stump of one i buried by work I was
doing restructuring levels in 1982 it must be around 6' under the
surface now!

It may be a small branch that fell in longish grass, unnoticed.
