Bog beacons and some sundews from Northern California yesterday. Mitrula elegans is a semi aquatic fungus that can break down plant material in low oxygen aquatic environments. In California you mainly find it in the late spring in the mountains

A pair of Bog Beacons stand translucent in their recently depleted bog. All of these were found to be growing out of cedar needles.
The tip of my forefinger for size comparison. Those Bog Beacons are tiny!
Another pair of Bog Beacons with the cedar needle they are growing out of a little more apparent compared to the previous images.
This big beacon poses perfectly in front of a rotted knot from one of the many rotting logs found in the recently depleted of water, boggy area of a local park.
Mitrula elegans, also known as the Bog Beacon or Matchstick fungus. 🌱🍄📷
