White Dunce Cap Mushroom (Conocybe apala) surrounded by White Clover (Trifolium repens). A fairly common mushroom in Europe as well as here in North America.

Mushrooms that are mighty tiny. The cap measures in at between .5″ and 1.5″ in diameter. The thin, hollow stem is 1.2″ to 4.4″ in height. That hollow stem is quite fragile and often collapses under the weight of the cap. The mushroom typically lasting just a few hours.

With the tiny mushrooms, seems there ought to be fairies nearby.
