The Genus Neohygrocybe has cosmopolitan distribution.
Family Hygrophoraceae, Tribe Humidicuteae
Something new from Indiana. Pine with hardwoods nearby. Single. Cap 1.75cm; smooth and dry. About this collection, Alan Rockefeller comments on iNaturalist that a “phylogenetic tree puts this somewhere between Neohygrocybe and Hygrophorus, but it may need its own genus, or perhaps it is in Neohygrocybe. There are not a lot of close matches and most BLAST results have query coverage so low that they aren’t meaningful – however this observation from Quebec is the same taxon: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/69073073”
