Leotia lubrica
Often called "jelly babies", these small mushrooms have a very gelatinous/rubbery texture. The semi-translucent yellow caps were smooth and convoluted, and some were darkening from age. Stems were yellow.
Growing on the ground among moss and ferns in a deciduous forest.

It was a nice surprise to find them Leuba :)
I'd love to find these - cute little fruiting bodies.
Haha, Sarah - they do! They felt so rubbery and odd, not like real mushrooms. Weird, but cool!
OH? They look like lil baby play-doh mushrooms!! :)
