Autumn fungi: conical brittlestem, pleated inkcap

Autumn fungi: conical brittlestem, pleated inkcap

A recently emerged conical brittlestem, growing on the same patch of wood chip mulch as the ones featured in yesterday’s post. The contrast in colours might almost be between two different species (they aren’t).

Growing next to the brittlestem, there’s a pleated inkcap. These tiny and delicate mushrooms are often found growing on lawns or sports fields, where they can be hard to spot hidden among grass mown short.
