    mulch funghi.jpg This is a picture of a fungus growing in my mulch. Not sure you can see it. It is growing on the mulch...just appeared after a lot of rain. It is in a shady area, nothing is in the sun. In case you can't see it, it is cream colored, kind of a cup shape but the edges roll out in a fan shape, a little ruffly, not a lot. The little ones look curled up and then they seems to unroll and get a lot bigger and flatter.

    Any ideas? I thought it was some kind of birds nest one, but there are no egg things in the middle.

    The image is tiny, but even so, i'm going to through out Pleurocybella for consideration.

    I looked up the big pictures of what you mentioned. It is kind of like that, but not. My stuff looks almost waxy, although the ones that I scooped up and left on the sidewalk are now looking white and powdery. It is everywhere in the shade. I am going to try to take a picture tomorrow and not copy one from another site.

    Yeah, we'd need the actual picture of your actual mushroom - post some good pics and we'll get an ID out to you.
