If anyone knows what these diminutive mushrooms are, I would gladly add their name in the keywords.

Enjoy the micro world. I have never used the 200/4 micro. Given these images, I am certain that you will enjoy it a lot.

Post by: John Geerts on November 05, 2016, 21:52:01: Yes, beautiful. Great lens too.

I think this is one of the Mycena fungi. Possibly the Flavoalba, but there are many lookalikes in that family. http://www.wikiwand.com/en/Mycena_flavoalba (http://www.wikiwand.com/en/Mycena_flavoalba)
