“The minuscule Mycena Lazulina. Found on the rotting frond of a tree fern in Victoria, Australia. These pin head sized fungi are bioluminescent, but sadly these were a little too old to glow in the dark. They provide a challenge to photograph being so tiny.”

I like Tiny Blue Lights. I’ve ever seen them in real life, but I do ID them on iNaturalist when other people put up observations. They really are very tiny. This observation gives you an idea (click on the thumbnails beneath the main picture for the close-ups):

And they are not always very blue. There are over 700 observations for them in Victoria. If you want to look at lots, here they are:

Me and my fungi appreciation crew have been looking for these, as there have been observations from my local area.
Ridiculously tiny which is why we haven’t found them yet. I got excited yesterday thinking I’d found some but it turned out to be splotches of bird poo

Wow!
