Fungi on fungi action

[Gerel]

Hi all,

I'm guessing that this is a Mycena sp. (about 10mm across the cap growing in conifer plantation) but can anyone tell me anything about the little guys growing on it? (not the insect on the stem, I didn't even notice that at the time)

Some species of Mycena are prone to attack by pin mould like this.

Thanks guys

I missed your thread J.P. but having looked about on the net a bit Spinellus fusiger does seem to be the usual suspect.
