| | | tiny fungi on moss
found this mini job growing on moss at edge of a pine plantation,
no idea at all on what this might be,(apologies for poor picture quality)
the largest was no more than 10mm across,

Arrhenia retiruga could be close.

hi
I agree with J.P., it could just conceivably be A. spathulata (can't remember the distinguishing features and am away from my books) but retiruga it almost certainly is . . .
cheers

| A to Z probably needs an edit . . . British Fungus Flora pt. 6 says: "widespread but overlooked"
