Autumn fungi: small oysterlings

Autumn fungi: small oysterlings

Some autumn fungi are easy to spot: big enough and bright enough to stand out from undergrowth. Small oysterlings live up to the first part of their name, less than a centimetre high. So they barely stand out from the clumps of moss which seem to be their usual substrate. They aren’t very vivid either.

These were growing on moss on the top of a stone wall, at a convenient height for macro shots on a mobile. They were at a spot where these tiny mushrooms have reappeared every year since I first noticed them.
