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

Thank you Erik.
Having a dedicated macro lens has really been an eye opener for me.

I don't know what the mushrooms are, but you have made them look magical.

The second one is special :)
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.

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

Lovely closeups!  The clover against the fallen leaf as background is a treat.  I also like the geometric rhythm of #3.
