Little "Break Dancers" on Leaf Litter

I am delighted to bring up some new find mushrooms, best known as Orange Pinwheel. It appears, I had to make a few step inside the wood to find these tiny mushrooms that grow on leaf litter. It's great to see a few of them live well after the rain and as I thought I would find some other fascinating mushrooms around the humid spot and indeed, but these mushrooms won my heart. Pinwheel mushrooms are also known to grow in the characteristic fairy ring pattern. This typical mushroom has tiny orange, bell-shaped, pleated cap and skinny brownish stalk that likely form a group of break-dancers. Like other nature pieces, even the smallest fungi with striking beautiful shape and color can bring out our childlike sense of awe.
