Are those the same species? The dwarfs look different to me. I'm curious myself.
If you are lucky the dwarfs will be edible. And then it wouldn't be a complete catastrophe.
On a side note. Congrats on your 1000 posts.

The dwarves have a peculiar cap shape, though that may be due to cultivation conditions. Do the gills run down the stem? Good to see you back by the way! Hopefully the ducks are doing well?

Giant is an understatement. Those calocybe are beasts. No idea about the little ones, hopefully they're edible, they look yummy.

The small white fungi with the umbilicate (centrally depressed) pileus could be a type of Clitocybe. We might need microscopy to ID them properly. A spore print may also help as the spores may be light yellow or even light pink as apposed to white.

I'm leaning towards a species of Hemimycena.

They are different species wildernessjunkie. 1000 posts wow! Hi Alan, here's the underside  Suchen, we've sold the ducks. Will be buying day-olds again soon. The caps look like lentinous squaroulous but of course it's not. It has a strong peculiar smell, a little citrusy. Reminds me of another species but I can't remember which.

What about a Marasmiellus species.. Im thinking it looks a little like M candidus. Maybe there is a species that looks a little different and grows on rice hulls?
