Field Notes

Description:

Growing in a potted plant in my office; main plant is a type of clover. Fungus spore perhaps came from some soil I recently added to it.

Ah yes, it appears that your suggested ID is correct. Thanks so much for your suggestion and comment! Alas, the pore little fungus has died and is being taken over by what looks like some mold now.
