Not quite as spectacular as those of Charlies but I was delighted to find something simiar growing on the decaying wood.

They do look a bit like stick pins. I found something somewhat similar back a few months ago growing on a bracket fungi. I finally found out that they were "Pin Lichens." Though I do not think that these are.

Thanks Nikola

I really don't have anything that I can get a hold of them with Doug. They are really small and I would imagine the spores within the spheres are even more so.

Thanks Doug
