Split gill mushroom (Schizophyllum commune) with cocoon cluster

Fletcher Wildlife Garden

Another shot of the tiny mushroom with its cluster of cocoons. If you look closely you can see that the top has been neatly cut and the 'lid' pushed back to allow the insect to emerge. Judging from the cocoons, possibly something in the Hymenoptera family. The mushroom is very small, perhaps 1/2 inch across, so you can see how tiny the cocoons are.
