Small white fungi growing on log, La Isla Escondida, Colombia Small all-white fungi growing in clusters on a dead tree. Really tiny, this is a crop of a macro shot, I'd say the stems are about 5mm in length. Colombia,Colombia 2018,Colombia South,La Isla Escondida,Putumayo,South America,World Click/tap to enlarge

        The zoom-in on the undersides made me think of that immediately. Looks like the beginnings of the "teeth" typical of this species.

        Also, the asymmetrical "lean" of the pileus (cap attachment lateral rather than central) made me look in that direction.         Posted 7 years ago, modified 7 years ago

          Thanks! Do you know if there's multiple candidates sharing this appearance, or could it be a very likely match? Posted 7 years ago

            It is the only thing I can think of, but I'd definitely get a second opinion on Mushroom Observer or in one of the ID groups! It may be something undescribed or unfamiliar to most! Posted 7 years ago
