Nidula ?emodensis
Tiny cups about 6mm wide clear internal walls and furry outside. Some had peridioles of dark brown and < 1mm wide.
Growing on wet bark and leaf detritis in a large eucalyptus dominated rainforest. Mt StLeonards, YarraRanges NP.
Cups of this size could also be niveotomentosa. A lateral view would provide critical information. Leuba will post same soon.

Great spotting, Mark. Beautiful specimen!
These are so fascinating! Maybe one day!!
Tiny? Oh! Now I want to see one so much more...
Sukanya and Hema if it's like my experience you will laugh at their ridiculously tiny size then realise you have been treading all over them. ;-)
I so.. so very much... want to see one of these!
I really wonder how it must be to actually see these fungi! Great picture!
Yes, I know what you mean. I recently upgraded my birding and long-range camera to the Nikon Coolpix p1000 and its been incredible, but a little lacking when it comes to macro photography. I end up using my smartphone camera a lot. Great shot on the "birds nest fungus"!
Thanks Brian. I'm trying out the Olympus TG-6. It seems great for this sort of thing and I'm hoping it won't break easily. ;-)
Great spotting, Mark!
