Oak-stump Bonnet Cap - Mycena inclinata

Whitish, bell-shaped caps that were faintly grooved. Gills were nearly distant, whitish yellow, and short gills were present. Stipes were white to yellow, hollow, and had tiny fibers. The mushrooms were growing on rotting wood in a deciduous forest.

Hats off for getting this identified. I have a book with hundreds of pages just discussing mycena, and I find it so intimidating that I just don't know where to start. Posted 7 years ago
