Bisporella citrina
Fruit bodies begin as spherical, closed globules, before expanding. The smooth, bright yellow fruit bodies are small—typically less than 3 mm (0.12 in) in diameter and up to 1 mm (0.04 in) high—and shallowly cup- or disc-shaped. The inner surface is smooth, and bright yellow, while the outer surface is a paler yellow. In mass, the spore color is white. The stalk is broad, pale yellow in color, and short to nearly absent
The widespread fungus is known from North Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, Central and South America,Australia,and New Zealand. It is one of the most common of the small discomycetes.

Omg, not in winter my winter is gonna be in Netherlands, but at the beginning of spring, right after the snow melts (or you don't have snow there :D)...that could be possible, anyway I'm gonna seek for real sun, probably the only place in the Europe where Feb is sunny :)
Injica make plans too for the next winter :-)
Ok Lipase :-)
could be good! I'll let you know if I make plans although I can't promise anything! Work dies down then for me too

That's the problem with fungi, they require a lot of time to ID.

Very nice, António
Thanks Injica,when big dont show up,i dont give up and still look for them in themost bizarre places,like holes on ancient granite walls,and in shadow corners,in the woods,it's another challenge :-)
