#3430 - Parasola sp.

Small frail mushrooms, formerly in the genus Coprinus, but these don't deliquesce into black fluid as they age, and instead curl up and wither.

#3013 - Coprinellus flocculosus - Flocculose Inkcap

Originally described as Agaricus flocculosus in 1815, by Swiss botanist Augustin Pyramus de Candolle (1778-1841). de Candolle was an early theorist on natural selection, recognised convergent evolution, and observed evidence for an internal 24-hour clock in plants a century before that was confirmed.

This inkcap is very common in the US, but is also found in Europe and Australia and elsewhere, usually growing on sawdust, woodchips or straw.
