#Arrhenia sp., likely A. retiruga, associated to moss colonising the same old wall (Les Clayes-sous-Bois, FR).

An interesting feature about this fungus and a few (but not all) Arrhenia is the lack of gills which is quite unusual for a basidiomycete fungus (the group containing most fungi you and I call 'mushrooms'). 🍄

Our Lady of Hygrophoraceae

Allowing moss — here Grimmia pulvinata — to grow on a wall can lead to delightful surprises 🥰 in terms of biodiversity, even in suburban areas: just a few cm² host #Arrhenia rickenii, Arrhenia rititruga, and #Octospora sp. — maybe O. musci-muralis (Villeneuve Tolosane, FR).
