Not so long ago, the land encompassed by the Little Canaan Wildlife Management Area, which adjoins the Canaan Valley National Wildlife Refuge, was a timbered-out, burned-over wasteland. Today, the WMA is in full-scale recovery and provides a home to a diverse collection of wildlife, including black bears, fishers, porcupines, northern goshawks, ruffed grouse, and saw-whet owls.

I am still very much being consumed by my new hobby making terrariums. I have been trying to pace myself, yet I have made six terrariums in the past two months. But I adore them, and I spend so much time looking into them.
Anyway I found this teeny tiny mushroom (Rickenella fibula?) in my moss propagation container of moss collected from the wild.

Rickenella fibula - Orange Moss Agaric
Originally ID-ed this one as Hygrocybe cantharellus (syn. Hygrophorus cantharellus), the Chanterelle wax cap. Upon further digging I have changed my mind but am still not certain.
Found early June on Camel’s Hump in Vermont.
Unfortunately I didn’t get a close enough look or take a sample because my hiking partner had no time for my mushroom/moss photo ops and was pushing us along. Oh well, next time I’ll make sure to take some notes.
...But also... just thought this was a lovely mossy fungi-y stump to look at.

Rickenella fibula is a tiny mushroom often found growing among moss. It’s commonly found across North America and features a lovely gold and orange cap, and it’s appearance is a sure sign of spring’s approach. Image by Jacqueline Labrecque.

Midweek haul! So the tiny orange babies are most likely Rickenella fibula, which has the absolute best description on mushroomexpert.com:
Probably saprobic but apparently involved in some sort of mutualism with moss
Oh to have people speculate about your apparent mutualism with moss!
Bottom left is Verpa conica, I’m pretty sure, but the gray shrooms frustrate me. Every fungi enthusiast knows about the pitfalls of identifying the LBM (Little Brown Mushroom), but for me it’s the gray ones. I want to say it’s Tricholoma terreum, but also I don’t want to say it?

Evening one in Jasper, Arkansas was a golden hour fungal bonanza.
(Number 3 and 4 are Rickenella fibula and Craterellus cornucopioides, respectively, and 1 is some kinda bolete... not sure about 2!)
