User's notes

Many small fungi of varying colours, grey, brown, yellow, orange, black. I suspect all the same type of fungi, just at different stages. Caps are striated and frilled with a slight nipple on top. Largest cap approximately 1 cm tall by 1.5 wide and cone shaped. Gills are a grey/off white colour and the stem is sort of translucent white, hollow and approx. 1 mm across. Cap eventually collapses against stalk and turns black and soggy.

Pam can probably get closer. Unfortunately not all of these Coprinus type fungi are in the same genus, so I might not even be right about that. They don't last very long, just pop up and dissolve over a day or two.

I did wonder about that because of all the different colours.
