User's notes
The fourth image shows water drops suspended from damage to the underside pores, towards the rear of the fungus. Closer inspection of the water drops (fifth image) shows small striped grubs-like insects within most of them. See also follow-up sighting 4384082 which shows physical damage that has occurred to the fungus since the original sighting.
