That's a great image of the tiny snail coming to have a feed. These jelly fungi are parasitic on other fungi that occupy rotting wood.

Thanks Pam- In the species description it says Fungimap Target Species.
Are NatureMapr sightings shared with the Fungimap project or do they have to been submitted separately?

Sorry I don't know. Though both NatureMapr and Fungimap lodge their records with ALA (Atlas of Living Australia) so they are all going to the one data base so I would think there is no real need to dubplicate the record. Hope that's of some help.
