It might also be Crucibulum laeve. I didn't have my field guide on me to ID them. Whenever I plant a pollinator garden at work, we can't use chemicals on it. The soil micro/macrofauna become really diverse as a result. The only two places I've seen in this area with populations of this fungi are both pollinator gardens.

Amazing!!! Thanks for sharing!! That’s such a cool fungus I’ve never seen before.

I’d read at some point about using inoculated wood chips in rain gardens to help break down certain pollutants (maybe E. coli?) - and thought it would be interesting to learn more about - but I can’t remember the fungus. Anyway, funny how they’re just slowly inventing “not fucking up ecosystems in the first place - because everything has a unique function developed over time”.
