Last week I was checking on one of my compost bins and noticed that there was a group of these mushrooms growing on a clump of composting leaves. Given the heat, I'm surprised to see them growing in the bin. Any help identifying them is most appreciated.

I'm between Coprinellus disseminatus and Parasola plicatilis. It seems like Parasola is more common this time of year and more likely to grow on leaves.

It looks like a brittlestem to me but I’m no expert.

What part of the day was it when you took this photo? (Morning)
Do they dry up and disappear in the heat of the day?

I took a break from work around 11AM which is strong the time that I found them.
I'm not sure if they dried up in the heat of the day, unfortunately. I put them back into the compost bin because I want as much fungal activity as possible. This particular bin is one of those enclosed, rollable units. It's nice and humid inside.

Looks like dried out ink caps maybe.

I could see that. I'm fairly new to Albuquerque, so I'm not entirely sure if they're common here.
