These are Thrips, subfamily Phlaeothripidae, which mostly feed on fungi. Can be identified by the larvae but only by experienced observers.

The pale synnemata on the rotten wood were Phaeoisaria clematidis - this is meant to be common according to Ellis & Ellis, but there is only one record on the Mycota dating back to 1946
Synnamata - specilaized, upright asexual reproducitve structures produced by certain fungi where numerous conidiohores fuse to form a stalk-like, often branched, bundle.
This can be clearly seen in the images above.

You can see the line of border cells to the edge of the leaf, which is characteristic of this species.

The other common species does not have this feature and is often much larger.

Beech (Fagus sylvatica)

Probably a boundary group made up of a number of trees

Decidedly muscular as Beech often are.

Inosculation or natural grafting. Multiple trees planted very close together can grow into a single, large thick trunked tree.

As they grow together the bark scrapes away and the cambium layers fuse together.

A bit confusing this as the leaf above shows no teeth.

But as Julia pointed out (Thank you)

• Lf bases are very narrowly decurrent (had to look long and hard on this)

• No teeth on the fresh new leaves of the specimen (but found toothed leaves amongst older parts). Smith says: 'margins sometimes entire in plants in dry habitats.', although teeth maybe 'obsolete' in P. rostratum.

• Laminal cells porose (not or hardly so in P.rostratum).
