Miniature mushroom in indoor coffee plant pot

I found this miniature mushroom growing in my indoor coffee plant's pot. Anyone have any idea what it could be?

Between the stem colour and the cap texture I think we can rule out any Leucocoprinus, so I guess a Coprinellus sp. Unless you say the colours in the shot are way off.
EDIT: I don't like this guess.

After toying with the hue a little I think Leucocoprinus birnbaumii isn't unlikely.

Definitely Leucocoprinus sp., birnbaumii sounds about right to me as well!

I agree. Leucocoprinus birnbaumii.

Maybe its this one

I thought about L. cepaestipes as well, but that looks too white. The OP's specimen very clearly has a yellow tinted cap.

That threw me, and the way it looks hairy rather than tufty or really fuzzy (or defuzzed). I decided it was all a trick of the light.

I know what you mean, Alan. It looks like it has the cap of a L. birnbaumii attached to a L. cepaestipes stipe. But I think it's just overexposure.
