Cheilymenia fimicola
Less than 1mm wide this tiny yellow fungus is shaped like cups with hairs around the rim.
On kangaroo dung in dry sclerophyll eucalyptus forest.
Beyond the capabilities of my pocket camera but identifying characteristics can be seen. Probably an Ascomycetes like pixie cups but much smaller. A kangaroo dung specialist? .......... as it turns out another name is "Cheilymenia coprinaria var. minima " no wonder it's so small. http://bie.ala.org.au/species/urn:lsid:c...
