This mass of fruit bodies was on a fallen branch. The white scale bar in the lower right of Photo 2 represents five millimetres. In dry conditions the margins of the fruit bodies fold inwards. The inset on the left of Photo 2 shows part of the scene on the right of that photo, but now dry. The two white stars indicate corresponding points in the two views. Near the surface of the fruit body there is a dense layer of dendrohyphidia, the branching structures you see in the microscopic view of Photo 3. The fruit body's surface is along the roughly straight line that runs from the upper left corner of this photo to about the middle of it's right hand edge. The bulbous cells are immature basidia (which develop at several levels in the fruit body) and the white scale bar represents 20 microns.
