Damp dead hardwood, especially beech and oak twigs and trunks

Inedible — too small and insignificant

• ▸ Small, slender, whitish to pale beige pin- and cup-shaped fruit bodies only a few mm tall
• ▸ Spore-bearing disc at the tip
• ▸ Grows in clusters on bare, dead wood, often beech and oak
• ▸ Inconspicuous and easy to overlook

A tiny ascomycete that only catches the eye when you deliberately search damp, lying hardwood.
