This fantastic little thing was found on a Salix trunk amongst mosses and liverworts. I did assume it was growing on the liverwort
Metzgeria furcata but this isn't listed as a substrate for this species and I think it may actually be on an underlying
Hypnum.
Looking like a bathing cap attached by its rim, it has a floccose exterior and a flat hymenium on the interior, which is speckled brown with the spores (listed in family
Inocybaceae in Mycobank).
