Bonnetcaps and Shade

A decorous cluster of bonnet caps - Mycena galericulata - in a sequestered glade.

Mycena inclinata

Mycena inclinata - can be distinguished from other clustered bonnet-caps on dead wood by its yellowish stems and a mealy smell.

Bleachy Bonnetcap

Mycena alcalina

A small, dark bonnetcap that grows on rotting wood and smells strongly of bleach.

Bleeding Bonnet

This is Mycena haematopus, one of the bleeding bonnetcaps - snap the stem and they exude a dark red liquid. I recently saw them in a list of bioluminescent fungi - but I have yet to go out at night and see.
