Stalked Hairy Fairy Cup fungi, Lachnum virgineum. I believe the water droplets are Guttation they are excreting. Found yesterday in the forest.
So adorably tiny!
I present what I believe to be Stalked Hairy Fairy Cup fungi, Lachnum virgineum, found yesterday on our afternoon forest bathing excursion.
More photos and a video of me finding them below.

I submit to you my first decay bouquet! Thanks Endless! iNaturalist wanted to say these were devils urns, Urnula craterium, but those aren't known to be found around here on the west coast of the US. So I'm assuming they are some sort of related look-alike. These were growing from a dead stem but another was found just down the way growing on a living root strand.
This witches butter, I believe to be Tremella mesenterica, was found growing on the underside of this fallen branch. I'm down to eat other jellies but this one is a non-starter for me.
This cutie was on the same tree as the 4 Lichenomphalia umbellifera I found earlier this week. They overshadowed it at the time, but I thought this one still deserves some spotlight.
This dead red belted conk, Fomitopsis pinicola, has been invaded by a couple of species. The white cloud-like fungus I'm familiar with, but the "hairs" growing out of the fruiting bodies are new to me.
A few more observations from this month.
