Gotta be the coolest companions I've seen!

I've always been interested in the little "gifts" that nature provides on our trees from time to time.
Interesting little plants, moss, flowers, and even mushrooms.
Until a few weeks back I'd never been blessed (or seen) a little mushroom grace my soil.
Since using Diatomite I have noticed a couple popping up from time to time.
However these guys this morning at the base of a Banksia Serrata are by far the coolest I've seen!
So small that they would likely be missed..
Can't say I've ever seen such a thing.
Would look awesome on a mame or Shohin...
Now how the hell would you purposely make these guys happen for a photo shoot!?!?
Cheers!

They grow on rotting wood . I often get them on trees I have carved or trunk chopped and the saw dust is left on the pot it rots and mushrooms grow. All this rain will help also : don't see them much when weather is hot and dry

They look epic as well BB.
I'd love to see a size comparison..
I think I've got an idea but just to put things into perspective.

I haven't had any cool little mushrooms grow, but I did find a lizard in one of my pots yesterday.
Black plastic pot with deep sides, and mostly empty because it has a cutting in it. Poor little guy was stuck. He's free now running around the back yard again. But not before my daughter got a chance to hold him for a minute.
