Field Notes

Description:

The mushroom I found is a small orange mushroom, the cap is orange, and the stalk is also orange. The gills on my mushroom are attached. The spore print is white. It does not have a collar. The length is 1cm long, and 1 cm wide.Some possible types of mushrooms that could be my type are the, Chanterelle Waxy Cap (Hygrocybe cantharellus), Tubaria furfuracea, and the Gymnopilus picreus.


Habitat:

It just so happens that there was an oak leaf next to my mushroom. Basically, it was growing beside a road on the grass.

This mushroom looks like my mushroom.... But I got the conclusion that it was a cup fungi!!! But other than that you have really good field notes.
My mushroom kind of looks like your mushroom. It has the same shape. The middle of it has a dark spot like mine. Great photos and nice field notes.
