Field Notes

Description:

Very tiny and tall, growing in very dry soil in the middle of nowhere, not many plants around, just litter, (dry leaves) found twice in different places and the same environment.

Notes:

Hygrocybe miniata? not sure because I know very little about fungi but it is in Costa Rica and it looks just like it.
