Octotemnus glabriculus
Found quite commonly at Sherwood Forest CP, the extremely small Octotemnus glabriculus, is probably less recorded because of it's size (1.5mm) rather than it being particularly uncommon. Colour varies from reddish brown, through to dark brown or almost black. It is often found on various bracket fungi, including Trametes ochracea, which grows commonly at Sherwood Forest CP on cut tree stumps.
