Summary: Did you smell it?

Mycena spore prints are white. They can have odors too, did you happen to smell this one? Was it on buried wood or was it growing in the dirt/duff/soil?

Summary: Mycena sp.

With the light collored gills, conical cap, and thin small stature, this is a Mycena. But there are a number of grey Mycenas, and even the experts don’t like to try to put names on them. Need to look under a scope for awhile to get an id.
