Frosted Fungus



I tried to identify this cute little fungus but all I could find was "Tiny Umbrella Fungus" 

It was really tiny and was hidden away in a crack in a tree. I have seen similar fungi before but usually in groups of different size and usually they are bigger than this particular specimen. The first image is slightly larger than life size while the second picture is greatly enlarged. It shows the surface which at first appeared smooth actually has a frost like coating. It would have been easy to miss this so I am glad I didn't and that I got to share it...
