      Thank you. It isn't too uncommon for me to see them in this form. I just thought these looked so dainty (even if they were waterlogged a bit). Posted 6 years ago

        They are definitely nice specimens! I have never found them in this form - or, maybe I just didn't recognize them as such. Posted 6 years ago

          I bet you have seen them! :) They aren't very conspicuous.

          Some less soggy, more mature specimens in this formation:

            I'm guessing I just dismissed them. I'll be on the hunt now though. Posted 6 years ago
