    Just wondering if anyone can identify these mushrooms/fungus that are growing on our garden. We just built this bed and put in new soil with organic compost. We have noticed that these things have sprung up all over the place and are wondering what they are.

    thanks

    Hi Austen
    I think this might be Tarzetta cupularis. We found some on Galiano Island very recently. Pretty little things eh
