Cool Conocybe sp.

Habitat: Where does it grow? Eg. woods, pasture, state, province, country, altitude, etc. What does it grow on? Eg. soil, dung, wood (dead, living, what kind of wood?), etc.
wood chips at a horse stable , it was mostly cedar i beleive because these chips havenever fruited in cyans in the 15 + years ive been searching here. only Galerinas and a few other things.
Gills: Color, attached/not, gills/pores, etc.
close, orange, looks to be attached.
Stem: Length, diameter, color, texture, hollow/solid, thin/thick, etc.
when young they are a yellowy orange, covered with a fine white fuzz. in maturity turning oarange , lines running down the stipe .
Cap: Diameter, color, texture, conical/spherical, convex/concave, etc.
when young they are a BRIGHT orangish red! in maturity they are always darker at the nipple, fading from the margin . old specimens crakced . and some old ones , the caps turned dark again at the margin and made a ring around the cap margin. Spore print color:
in the process. Very important!
Bruising: Color that the mushroom bruises, if any.
Other information: Scent of the mushroom, anything else you think is important, large close-up pictures showing stem, cap and gills.
heres some pics, they seem quite different from Conocybe tenera but i guess may just be in that group. they were kinda similiar to those unknown Conocybes i found the other day , but thay were more of a purplish color when young. the amoundt of sunlight may make the difference .

Nice photos and description. It sounds like you know what you have. Getting to an accurate species pretty much requires a microscope and a handy copy of the monograph, but would be more to satisfy curiosity than anything else.
Nice collection there, though.
