Eudistoma_niveum It is the white mushroom like colonies. Seen in Dauin, Philippines in 2012. I was looking for species for more recent spottings and I was lucky to find this one as well.

    Beautiful! They remind me of these:
    Small Moss Oysterling (Arrhenia retiruga) We visited a trail near the Carter'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 /> https://www.jungledragon.com/image/88523/small_moss_oysterling_arrhenia_retiruga_-_wrinkle_detail.html Arrhenia retiruga,Geotagged,United States,Winter,small moss oysterling
