Very seldom do I get to open a fungi reference book and almost immediately find what I'm looking for. With about a 90% certainty this is Pinwheel Marasmius or Marasmius rotula. Can I post this on my Flora and Fauna pages? If so please E-mail the high res ver to me. I want to do some cropping.

Will do, it could also possibly be Mirasmius Anomalus?

I don't think so. Caps are too white and stems are too dark for M. anomalus.

M. anomalus should look like this:   Cap more buff or biege in color. Stem medium brown - not almost black.

You just helped me complete a partial ID for my site. M. anomalus isn't in either of my 2 reference books.
