I really have nothing to offer in fungi IDs that you probably didn't check already, but still the species you suggest seems credible in distribution, appearance, and what it grows on. Posted 3 years ago

  Thanks. I'm going to tentatively ID it. They were so tiny that I didn't notice them until I got the photos on my computer! Posted 3 years ago

    So you were originally photographing something else? Nice when you have high resolution photos, sometimes you can unexpectedly cut out a new photo from it. Posted 3 years ago

        I had definitely missed them. The cyan ones draw away attention.
        
        Offtopic, but by chance last week saw the release of the highest resolution photo of an artwork ever:

        You can zoom into it almost definitely from the top photo, using the zoom icon. The part that is absolutely mind blowing to me is the almost complete lack of visible brush strokes, no matter the zoom level. Crazy skills, 500 years ago. Posted 3 years ago
