The pale knees and general colouration suggest Scatella lutosa. Any more pictures?

From this specimen I only have one more picture, but it's almost the same. I have photos of another specimen that, looking at the leg's colour, looks the same species.    |

Yes, the second picture confirms this as lutosa (nice to see the Laboulbeniales too!). Pictures 3 and 4 are less clear - I think lutosa, but they look a bit grey. Any specimens? Or more dorsal shots?

Thank you Tony. I have some specimens that I will send to you. I also noticed the fungus, they seem to be everywhere nowadays. |
