Tiny wood fungus

Description:

Very small mushrooms appearing by the dozen on a wet eucalyptus log. These were only 4-5 mm across the cap.

Habitat:

Suburban back yard on wet log.

Notes:

Yet to search for this. It looks like it sprouted then suffered dry in that the margins (and associated gills) seem to be collapsing. The pileus fell off this one when the camera lens just touched it. Looks like marasmius in gills....

Thanks MacC. You might be right g.m They certainly look marasmius gills. I'll check them out soon. Thanks for that.

To me the shape suggests Marasmius and the habitat fits.
