cocoons on Split gill mushroom (Schizophyllum commune)

I picked off one of these tiny mushrooms so that I could photograph the shell-like underside and what should I see but a cluster of even tinier empty cocoons. No idea who might have made them because many insects are associated with fungi. Or, it may have nothing to do with the fungi and just been a convenient place.

mesmerizing mushroom, and a seemingly solid spot to ensconce the min-colony...
