Found in a place I have never heard of them being found before.

Lots of fruiting bodies at various stages on one log

aberrant white spider
Two labellums, two columns, six tepals and no dorsal sepals. Is this common?

Seen by Summit Pass Track on Ben Lomond, close to summit huts.

I suspect this is D. minutiflora as well but the lack of flowering and slightly different location was suspicious
