DOF stacking, Sony A99II, Sigma 105mm macro

Not sure what these small fungi are - trying to research. The larger one was less than 1 cm in diameter. Stack of 8 images. Happy Fungi Friday!

The closest description I can find is that these may be the orange form of Ruby Elfcups. (Sarcoscypha coccinea var. aurantiaca).

After further review - these may be Sowerbyella rhenana fungi.

I have for quite a while been facinated by surface tension, but have never really been successful in turning that into a successful photograph. I think this one almost succeeds. Maybe something worth persisting with.
