I have settled on this identification because of the 8-12 ribs that extend from the top of the stalk and merge into a reticulate net around the spores. The sporocarps are 1mm tall.

Trichia botrytisObserv.

Found on recently fallen Stringy Bark Tree. At first glance I thought it was Metatrichia, but the divisions on the peridium and the shape of the stalk soon set me straight. :) Microscopy photos will be added later.

Found growing on loose bark hanging from live tree. Trichia erecta is identified by the vivid yellow spores, the spiny capillitium which has very short tips, the giraffe-print peridium and the stocky stalks.

This is my first time finding a Diderma as gregarious as this, so any feedback welcome if you think my ID could be off track.
Further discussion and reading has led me to change ID as there are occasional limy spikes protruding from the columella and the spores show no signs of pressure lines or angles.

Growing on decomposing log. Elaters spined and tapered tips approximately 12um which leads to this idea rather than O. affine.

I am referring to the 'silver' sporocarps rather than the Cribraria, but it was difficult to get a photograph of them alone. Growing on decomposing wood on the ground.

Found on the underside of thick bark on the ground. Identified by the small spines along the elaters (difficult to see in these photos) and also the length of the tapered tips which are between 10-15um. (Oligonema affine has slightly shorter ones according to Lado).
