Cold Water Mushroom

Was out in the woods today working on a little dam for the stream and I stumbled on these babies growing in the water. Never would have figured that shrooms could grow in such cold weather. Especially with snow on the ground. Any idea on an ID would be cool.



Found growing just on some leaves in the bottom on the stream
Gills: almost the same color as the stem there, looks like a tannish almost skin like color
Stem: Tannish in color, about 2 inches in length, maybe a centimeter or two in diameter
Cap: About the size of a nickel, with a reddish brown center. The center also came to a point if looked at sideways, as if looking at a pimple
thats about all I could get in the cold weather, its about 30F out here

Those could be two small specimens of Hygrophorus hypothejus or one of the other winter fruiting Hygros. Finding them under water would be an odd coincidence.

are you sure they didn't grow before that water got there? maybe they grew and then over night some snow melted causing that puddle and they just didn't die yet.

Looks like they grew next to the stream and then collapsed over into the water.

That stream has been running for about a month now so it didn't just run them over. And as for the mushrooms falling into the stream I have seen others in the area completely submersed, probably only about 1/2 an inch tall. I will take more pics next time I go out there

However, Psathyrella aquatica grows directly in the current of the water. I don't think the mushrooms pictured here normally prefer to grow in water.
