Small Moss Oysterling (Arrhenia retiruga) We visited a trail near the Carter&#039;s Lake Reservoir, and we found this fungus growing on the water-logged mosses in a grassy/meadowy area. This area is prone to flooding and is often covered in a carpet of mosses. Murray County, GA, US. January 4, 2020. My first time seeing these.<br />
