Sheathed woodtuft mushrooms, dry

Sheathed woodtuft mushrooms growing in a troop on the rotting wood of a fallen tree trunk by the Railway Walk near Meccano Bridge. The day these pictures were taken, the mushrooms were dry.

Probably just dry on the surface: this species changes colour when the fungi absorb water, these were very similar to when they had been wet.
