Another fungus among us...

Taking the trash out early this morning I saw these:   


There were growing on a pile of mulch.


It's difficult to tell from the picture, but these were almost translucent.


They were very fragile.  About an hour after I took the pictures they were gone.



I did pull out the book, The Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Mushrooms, for these.  But catching them this late in the game, it's kinda hard to get a positive identification.  They could be Japanese Umbrella Inky, or Non-inky Coprinus or even Blue Mycena.  I'll have to see if I can spot them earlier,
