      Inside a pile of cut meadow grass. Lines of minute, stalked, lidded, pale tan cups, 0.5mm growing along several grass stems/leaves. Any idea what they are? Jill

      Hi Jill

      Plase could you keep a dried sample for me (if it’s not too late) and I will collect it from you at the next foray you are attending?

      Kind regards,

      John
