Thanks, Nayan ji. It seems to match with Mycena species as per Wikipedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycena, some extracts from which are stated below:
*Mycena* is a large genus of small saprotrophic<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saprotrophic>mushrooms which are rarely more than a few centimeters in width. They are characterized by a white spore print<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spore_print>, a small conical or bell-shaped cap, and a thin fragile stem. Most are grey or brown, but a few species have brighter colors. Most have a translucent and striate cap, which rarely has an incurved margin. The gills are attached and usually have cystidia. A few of the species exude a latex when the stem is broken, and many have the odor of bleach. *Mycenas* are hard to identify to species and some are distinguishable only by microscopic features such as the shape of the cystidia<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cystidia>. Some species are known to be edible, while some are known to contain toxins, but most of them are not known, as they are too small to be useful in cooking. 2009/9/11 Nayan Singh <[email protected]> > Dear Garg ji, i don't know a b c d of Mycology, but your pic is so > attractive, it compelled me to find its id, to me it looks like some species > of Mycena, a wild guess. > Thanks > N.S.Dungriyal IFS > Chief Conservator of Forests > and Field Director > Satpura Tiger Reserve Hoshangabad > M.P. > 09424792100 > > ------------------------------ > *From:* J.M.
