This has been in my wallpaper & random image collection for a while. Unfortunately I forgot the name but I remember that they are tiny in real size, just a millimeter or so. Maybe somebody recognizes them?

When I was a kid we would go hiking in a creek bed that ran inbetween all the houses. One day I came upon some little bulbous mushrooms like this that were growing out of a huge downed tree. When you poked one super gently with a stick, it would explode a cloud of green spores out of it. Weirdest shit I ever found, and I never saw them again. I would have sworn it was like the flood from halo or something
