I think it was Dan who spotted this VERY TINY mushroom on a piece of dead bark.  Notice my finger nail in the picture.  I'm taking a wild guess that this is Mycena alphitophora.

At todays lunch spot was the remains of a once large tree.  Dan and Gene both remember it being infested with Carpenter Bees a few years ago.  The big black ones you see flying around are the females and can sting although seldom do.  The males are a golden color and tend to stay around the nexts and DO NOT sting.  Here you can see the holes bored by the bees when they lived here.
