The Fungi World (226) : Dewdrop Dapperling
Dewdrop Dapperling is a striking fungus, pale yellowish at first then straw-coloured when mature, and often covered with dew-like drops and blackish spots.
The dewdrops are the result of a guttation process(°), which is very typical for this species.
It’s a rare fungus that is classified as critically endangered on the “Red List of vulnerable and threatened species” !
Dutch name : Druppelparasolzwam
German name : Schwarzfleckender Schmierschirmling (auch Schleimiger Schirmpilz genannt)
Latin name : Chamaemyces fracidus
(°) guttation process : the mycelium (= the basic ‘root’ of a fungus) withdraws sap out of the host tree, forms a dewdrop-like liquid that contains mainly sugars and sweat out the surplus through the fruiting body.

Instead of dewdrops I wouldrather take olive oil.
Looks almost like a night shot.
