      1. Yeah in situations like this it is good practice to photograph the bottom. I have failed to do this on my last few trips and am facing similar problems. Posted 10 years ago

''Mycena adonis'', commonly known as the scarlet bonnet, is a species of fungus in the Mycenaceae family. Found in Asia, Europe, and North America, it produces small orangish to reddish inedible mushrooms with caps up to 1.2 cm in diameter, held by thin pinkish-white stems reaching 4 cm long. The fungus prefers to grow in conifer woods and peat bogs, suggesting a preference for acidic environments.
