Witch's Hat mushrooms, Hygrocybe conica, are quite tiny. When young, they can be a yellowish-green, as Paula found.

A week or so later, Paula sent in this photo, saying she had never seen it before. It's also a Witch's Hat; it just has turned black with age.

These mushrooms are not considered edible and with a common name of Witch's Hat, I wouldn't want to eat them anyway!

Thanks to Paula for allowing me to share her photos with you here.

We've had a lot of rain, nearly four inches since Jan. 1. We have one more storm coming in later today and raining tomorrow. Then the predictors say we have a dry week ahead. We need to dry out - the ground literally squishes when you walk on it!
