Overview
Can frequently be spotted on decaying wood, specifically fallen twigs and branches of broadleaf trees. This small mushroom is characterized by its thin, wiry stem and tiny, pale cap. Despite its unassuming size, the resilience of this fungus is remarkable; after drying out, it can rehydrate and appear fresh again with the next rain. Found in various parts of the world.
