Fun with fungi
Spotted these emerging today from an apple trunk, presumably as a result of the warmer and wetter weather we've had. The caps of the three main ones are only about 3mm in diameter. ID anyone?

A well see oppurtunity. I like the inclusion of the little tiny one on the left.
Can't help with the I.D. I'm afraid. Maybe one of the Mycena family. :cool:

Nice one .
Love the wet and squidgy feel to them.

Very nice, like Justin, the inclusion of the little one works

I spent about an hour with these and it was interesting to look back over the shots and see how much the little one on the left had grown over that time!

A nice little set. I always find stuff at this size fascinating.
