I wish to have a confirmation of what I think is Dacrymyces stillatus. I did not collect the specimen. It was on the stem of a fallen Pine branch (presumably!)/
The fruiting bodies were tiny, not more than 5mm
Dacrymyces stillatus or something else to consider ?

Hi Steve,
In the European area I would have said it was a Dacrymyces stillatus, but I'm not sure if that is the same for Malta.
It looks like mature fruitbodys, perhaps you could be microscope them.
best regards,

So I did a little extra research and closely related species which should occur in the Mediterranean:
D. minor - but it has smaller fruiting bodies 0.5--2.5mm (my specimens were 3 mm average)
D. tortus - specifically grows on pine, but in many examples on the net, the fruiting body is dull-ochre [link]
D. capitatus - should have a little stipe, and from this photo showing some lateral views, the FB are well sessile.
I can't think of other alternatives right now.
Maybe I try and fetch a sample if time allows.
