Mycena inclinata grows in dense clumps on rotting logs or stumps on mostly oak in deciduous woodland.
These look as if they have been fashioned from wax!

It was morning when I took the image, and the natural light fairly low and just about catching them and relecting off them.

I can see the reference to wax, but my first thought was that they look like fine porcelain — Belleek, maybe.

Great shot, Pete. I especially like the lighting coming in from the side – it’s very effective at revealing the rippling on the toadstool caps.
