Wonderful post. The only thing I love to take pictures of almost as much as insects are mushrooms. Those tiny shrooms are a great find. The beetle larvae is a cool specimen too.
I’m finding myself increasingly enamoured with fungi and lichen, truth be told…I used to not pay them much attention, but that’s rapidly changing…
I suspect they eat fungi growing in the narrow spaces between the bark and wood.
The little mushrooms up there WERE growing in that space…that’s the amazing thing…the whole cluster was about the size of a quarter.
Love the photos! Gorgeous!
Thanks! I must admit, I was pretty pleased with them too, especially the second one (the closeup of the head)…I think I’m starting to get the hang of this “macro” thing!

Inspired by your beetle larvae posts, I went out to take a look under the bark of some firewood that had decayed well past being burnable. The first section of bark I removed revealed two Dendroides canadensis. Thanks for both the inspiration in the ID information.
Ha! Awesome! They’re pretty cool-looking critters, aren’t they?
