Collembola - Lepidocyrtus paradoxus

Collembola - Lepidocyrtus paradoxus
Ely, St. Louis County, Minnesota, USA
September 9, 2015
Size: Approx. 2-3 mm
I found this collembola while photographing fungus in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area near Ely MN. I think it was on a bracket fungus of some kind, but when I spotted the collembola, I forgot to photograph the fungus enough to identify it. So I am not sure what kind of fungus it was on. There were two similar appearing collembola on this one fungus, and another one or two on the seat of the latrine at the campsite on a neighboring lake. Any help in identifying it further would be appreciated.
