These little mushrooms have come up in an indoor pot with a plant growing in
it. They don't match anything in Roger Phillips' book, or any of my other
mushroom books, and don't look like any I've seen before. As you can see,
an urn-like stem, with a little pointy cap. So far they're only about 1cm
high at most.

Any advice welcome. And if nobody knows, can anyone point me to a website
that might do identification?
Thanks from someone

You're not going to be able to tell at this stage because the fruiting
bodies look immature. You need to wait a few days until the caps fully
open up as they reach full size.

OK, I'll wait a while and see. It's the strange shape of the stem that has
me foxed. Also, the little mushrooms are only about 1 cm high, so life
could get interesting.

They may look the same shape as penny bun but are very much smaller.
