| | | Tiny white tufts of (what might be) fungus.
I found these growing amongst moss on an old stump. Not even completely sure that they are fungus, but an identification would be lovely.  |

I don't want to sound too humbug over the Christmas period and I do enjoy your enthusiasm but you have proved that you are learning fast and can identify lots of fungi. So other than adding one to your count of posts what good is a fourth "I agree" post?
Mal
Ps hope you had a good one |

Ps hope you had a good one | it makes the species diagnosis more reliable with a fourth opinion rather than three. a scientific investigation is more reliable with more repeats | | |
