Fungi from the mixed forestry.

 

More or less constant rain: bad light.

This image shows a Beech leaf with a dozen or so minute fungi. Probably a Hemimycena sp.

And a couple of close-ups of one of the specimens. Cap about 2 mm. across.

      

A fantastic little Mycena with bright yellow stipe and viscid cap.

         

This looks like Lacrymaria lacrymabunda - the Weeping Widow.

    

 

This appears to be a tiny Deceiver just emerging. Cap about 3 mm.

A lot going on in the first picture. A red-and-yellow-stemmed Mycena with its stipe curled round the twig (you can just make out the red base part at the bottom of the picture).

On close examination we can see a tiny bug on the cap. Maybe a Psocopteran - a bark bug related to book bugs.

In fact, there are quite a few on the cap:

A complete mystery. These were growing on a rotted old stem of Rosebay Willowherb. That 'pie-crust' top might help someone. Cap about 15mm, with brown spores. Just maybe a Cortinarius.

    

A terrible shot just to show the stipe.
