Conocybe tenera

Behind my house there is a flower pot made from an unused mineral water gallon. So that the plants I will plant will grow well, before I plant the plants, I fill this plant pot with organic fertilizer mixed with soil. The plan is that after a few months I will plant vegetables in this pot. But when I wanted to plant it, a type of mushroom had grown in it.

This is a mushroom with the scientific name Conocybe tenera or some also call it cow dung mushroom. This plant without chlorophyll grows in pots up to several trunks (trees).

Conocybe tenera is a type of mushroom that grows abundantly in soil rich in organic fertilizer. This mushroom, which has a light brown cap and a white stem, is a type of poisonous mushroom that certainly cannot be consumed.

It grows in several stems in groups in one area in soil containing fertilizer, therefore some call it a cow dung mushroom with a cone-shaped cap.
