Commonly known as Jellybabies, these rubbery fungi look superficially like cap-and-stem mushrooms, but beneath the irregular caps the surface is smooth rather than being gilled. Despite their common name, these innocuous-looking little fungi are inedible.
The caps are initially round but soon develop wavy margins. Up to 15mm across, but more commonly 8 to 10mm. The fertile upper surface is smooth, shiny and usually greenish brown or yellowish.
White
Typically 2 to 4cm tall, the stems are 5 to 7mm across and sometimes slightly flattened with a roughish (scurfy) surface and soft, jelly-like pale flesh inside.
