The Odd Couple
Two mushrooms growing in close proximity along a downed log. The red-capped mushroom is about 3-4 cm tall, the white "phallic" mushroom (an immature Xylaria polymorpha) is about 2 cm in height. The phallic mushrooms grew in profusion along the whole length of the log. The drop of water clinging to the phallic mushroom is apparently being exuded by it - I observed drops of water near the tips of nearly all of them, but there weren't any water drops on any other surfaces.
