White, ridged cap. White stipe. Brown dimple at center of cap.
Growing on a decaying pine trunk That died about 5 years ago.
It looks like a Pleated Inkcap [Parasola]. But it's growing on a decaying pine tree. Pleated Inkcaps grow in grassy lawns. Same pine trunk as the four other fungal spottings from july 12.

Sorry I didn't notice those.
Thanks for the input Mark. But the two specimens in the upper right of the photo appear to have a ring on the stipe which would be the remnants of a veil. Otherwise I agree with your points.
I agree with Parasola sp. Tom. no veil, no deliquescing and being a saprobe it feeds on decaying matter. I think that tree is on the menu.
