Seitenspross-Schwindling

Marasmius bulliardii is a tiny, thread-like mushroom with a whitish, bell-shaped cap and very long, hair-like stipe attached to decaying leaves. It grows in clustered masses on dead fallen leaves in temperate deciduous forests across Europe. This saprotrophic fungus decomposes leaf litter, particularly during moist conditions in autumn.
