These mushrooms flourish in the early morning and are gone before it gets much later in the day. Whitish bell-shaped cap flared around the edges with light-brown gills underneath. Fragile tall stalk.
Growing in the wood chip mulch behind my house in an older suburban neighborhood with mature trees.
This most closely resembles the White Dunce Cap (Conocybe lactea) in my Audubon guide, but it's growing in late July, and White Dunce Cap is supposed to grow May-June and in September.
