    The small fungi were easy to miss by the looks of that acorn cap next to it, so very tiny. Posted 6 years ago

          Lol, and I do remember nearly the exact spot that I found these plants, at least I remember the general area where I was "lost" at the time...So, I suppose I'll have to retrace my steps on my next hike there. Posted 6 years ago
