    It looks like oak leaves below this. Could this possibly be Marasmiellus quercophilus? This shape/color/texture looks more like M. quercophilus to me. They are kind of hard to differentiate, but that is how I would lean with them being in that leaf litter?

      Maybe I'm wrong though. THe pinched , white stipe bases could point to M. praeacutus... Posted 4 years ago

      Thanks for the info, Lisa. They were IDed with confidence on MO by Chris Cassidy, so I’m going to leave the ID as is. I’ll look into your suggestion though. Posted 4 years ago
