The posh name is Mycena Acicula,a tiny species generally found under conifers amongst the moss.

Yes Alison,it's Cressmoss..well,it will be in December Wink
Kit used...gold card as a reflector...small diffuser,ably held in place by my co-'shroomers,lots of mozzie repellant,Tesco carrier bag in order to avoid wet knees (didn't work ! )

F5.6 manual mode
1/6th sec with tripod
ISO 200
F/L 105mm
W/B cloudy
Pattern metering
Converted from Raw in C1v4
Curves adjustments & cropped in CS3.

Thankyou for looking,nice to see lots of 'shrooms on site now,the D&D club is quickly expanding.
Janet xx

The moss is a great indicator of just how small this Mycena really is Janet.
Great image as always

I always wonder how they survive on that long slender stalk.
An excellent capture with some beautiful colours for the background.

Beautiful composition, wonderful colours and details. Looked all day yesterday and found only half eaten toadstools.
