Common conecap 》 Pholiotina rugosa

AKA Fool's conecap 》 Conocybe filaris

Some sources claim there's a difference but most I've seen consider them synonyms. Taxonomic classifications change overtime as new discoveries are made and there is much room for debate it seems.

This species is deadly toxic and often mistaken for those of the Psilocybe genus.

And some very old, blackened fluted bird's nest fungus 》 Cyathus striatus among the mulch. Best seen in images 4 and 9.

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
