Oak Pin

Description:

Growing on a mostly buried stick, branch or root in an area with mostly Rhododendron and a few large coniferous trees. The 'normal' looking fruitbodies were on exposed wood and were around 5mm tall and the widest about 4mm across. On the underside of the buried stick there was a 'forest' of long thin ones (5th and 6th photos) which were up to about 15mm tall and maybe 2mm across the caps. I found this before a couple of times in a Rhododendron area (that also had other trees possibly oak) but dismissed the idea it was growing on anything other than oak: http://www.ispotnature.org/node/445272 Hymenoscyphus fructigenus looks similar to me but grows on nuts rather than wood
