Beansprout conecap 》 Conocybe deliquescens
Found these weird little guys while walking my dog this morning. This was my first encounter with the Conocybe genus.
"The cap of this mushroom is very slimy, flimsy, and rusty brown; its weight soon causes the weak stem to bend over and collapse. The gills are rusty brown and are usually fairly well formed, but they can also be vein-like, fused, or nearly unrecognizable as gills. Both cap and gills dissolve into a mushy mess very quickly." - Michael Kuo, mushroomexpert.com
