Marasmius pallidocephalus? This tiny, 1.5mm, mushroom cap on a very skinny stem qualifies as a horsehair fungus. Since it was attached to a Douglas Fir needle and not a pine needle I am sure it is Marasmius pallidocephalus. I don’t have a microscope to determine the lack of cheilocystidia which the pine loving Gymnopus androsaceus does have. Canada,Geotagged,Pseudomarasmius pallidocephalus Click/tap to enlarge Promoted
