Parasola plicatilis
Spotted these in some wood chips in a landscape area next to a sidewalk. They were very tiny--less than 2 inches high and 1 inch wide.

Thanks for the reference S Frazier. I'm going to stick with Parasola plicatilis until someone IDs it as another species.
Referring to your question on the other spotting, I'm no expert but this is what http://www.mushroomexpert.com/parasola_p... said "A gazillion little coprinoid mushrooms look like Parasola plicatilis on casual inspection, so a microscope is needed for successful identification of this widely distributed and common species."
I like to see such a mushroom.
Thank you Judy--I just joined this site yesterday and love it!
Interesting looking. I like the photo
