These are the same fungus as the next two pictures. Blowing up the next two pictures shows forked gills at the edges. The cap surface is smooth and funnel shaped, and upturned at the edge. The identification is based on these features as well as the cap color gave us C. gibba. We reevaluated this when Mushrooms Demystified (David Arora) arrived, and found that the similar C. squamulosa has, unlike C. gibba, a stalk the same color as the cap or darker. <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.mushroomexpert.com/infundibulicybe_gibba.html">Michael Kuo</a> also puts C. squamulosa under conifers, and C. gibba under hardwoods. This was a coniferous forest.
