Omphalina sp.- Cyprus

Omphalina is a genus of small agarics with white, nonamyloidbasidiospores and decurrent gills. Typically the cap has a deep central depression giving the umbrella-like to funnel-shaped cap the appearance of a belly button, or a belly with a navel. Similarly-shaped agarics are said to be omphalinoid in appearance.
Omphalina in the modern sense is a small genus of bryophyte colonizing mushrooms. They grow on mossy burned soils and in undisturbed mossy areas in ArcticAntarctic,alpine and rural and urban sites. Many other bryophilous mushrooms occur in such habitats but they have other characteristics. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
