Hydropus floccipes
A species of Hydropus.
Hydropus floccipes is a diminutive and fragile fungus, characterized by its cap, which ranges from white to a light cream hue, and a slender, fibrous stalk. This species commonly inhabits damp, moss-laden woodlands, primarily growing on decaying wood and fallen leaves, thereby playing a role in the nutrient cycling of its ecosystem. It flourishes in moist conditions and produces its reproductive structures during periods of rain.
