Marasmius epiphyllus
A full field of "leaf parachutes" i would not make it, an own spotting, if it were average for me. I often found them in clusters or slightly spread few inches. But when i noticed this "spotting" i felt as stood/swam i through a "sea" of "leaf parachutes. They were everywhere. Every little white spot at the pictures are "leaf parachutes". (let me know, if you want to count them !!) . the last picture are marked: everywhere in the RED circle, were it looked like the picture above; the PURPLE is where i found this: ( http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/774... ); the BLUE had i found a yet still not identified "polypore"; the YELLOW also a polypore,still researching; the WHITE were some sort of Order "Agaricales", very Genus "inocybe" like; at the PINK/ORANGE where a somewhat intressting suspicious "white polypore , with some weird "arms"--- BETWEEN a wall of "mycenas" (will try to upload all mentioned fungis a spottng with link to this one)
Habitat on fallen twigs and leaf petioles. Season autumn. Rare. Distribution, Found In Europe. Not edible this "spotting" is related to this previous "spotting"--->( http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/778... ). This is the place where i found them and got surprised from the overwhelming number of fungi-specimen
