Hygrocybe conica or something similar. It should leave a white print.

Most of the little colorful ones are hard to ID to species. The amount and location of the black bruising is an identifying feature I believe.

that little shroomie should auto turn completely black and start to auto digest itself i am completely certain its Hygrocybe Conica. Noted as poisonous in most books but in mushrooms demystified it is stated as to be possibly poisonous but has been eaten and elicited a slight feeling of wieghtlessness i have consumed a couple with no ill affects.

for liability reasons i am not a trusted IDer and don't condone eating any mushroom before it is properly IDed and along with suspected poisonous mushrooms i take no responsibility of affects caused by consumption

happy hunting :smile:

I agree with Zim, t is the Witch's Hat (Hygrocybe conica), this specie show its distinctive trait of "blackening."  Nice little guy!  :peace::redpanda:
