These are Thrips, subfamily Phlaeothripidae, which mostly feed on fungi. Can be identified by the larvae but only by experienced observers.

The pale synnemata on the rotten wood were Phaeoisaria clematidis - this is meant to be common according to Ellis & Ellis, but there is only one record on the Mycota dating back to 1946
Synnamata - specilaized, upright asexual reproducitve structures produced by certain fungi where numerous conidiohores fuse to form a stalk-like, often branched, bundle.
This can be clearly seen in the images above.

You can see the line of border cells to the edge of the leaf, which is characteristic of this species.
The other common species does not have this feature and is often much larger.
