detectable, but not overwhelming at all from behind camera.

Slime mold on mushroom
Tiny fruiting bodies (sporocarps) of the cosmopolitan slime mold Cribraria, maybe Cribraria intricata (Cribrariaceae), growing on the cap of an unidentified mushroom. There’s also Ceratiomyxa slime mold below the fungus.

Fistula hepatica.

A mushroom with drops of “sweat”.
These drops are secretion of moisture from the mushroom in contradiction
of raindrops. The fenomenon is called “guttation” and happens when a
mushroom, during growth, soaks up a lot of moisture and has to get rid
of the surplus of water. This resulting in the drops, which can have a
special colour because of the characteristics of the mushroom.

A fairy ring, also known as fairy circle, elf circle, elf ring or pixie ring, is a naturally occurring ring or arc of mushrooms, in his case Marasmius oreades. The
body of this fungus, its mycelium, is underground. It grows outward in a
circle. As it grows, the mycelium uses up all of the nutrients in the
soil, starving the grass. This is the reason a fairy ring has dead grass
over the growing edge of the mycelium. Umbrella-shaped fruiting bodies,
called mushrooms, spring up from just behind the outer edge of the
mycelium.

Black earth tongues (Trichoglossum hirsutum). Trichoglossum hirsutum makes a black club shaped fungus 3 – 8 cm
high. The spores are produced on the enlarged upper part, which is 5 to
8 mm wide, up to 2 cm high, flattened, spearhead-shaped to ellipsoid and
finely velvety. The flesh is thin, tough and brownish. The stem is up
to 6 cm long and 2 – 3 mm thick, cylindrical and velvety.
