Marasmius alveolaris 1
Marasmius alveolaris (Greek: marasmos = drying out), like many of this genus, dry out on collection, but can be completely revived with moisture. Commonly found growing in colonies on dead bark and twigs, cap to 5 mm, off-white to biscuit, with little bulges or 'blisters' between the widely-spaced whitish gills; spore print white. Stems to 12 mm, dark brown to black, very fine and hair-like, no ring. I suspect it's native to Australia. Mt Drummer Rainforest Walk, Cann River, 2009.
