In small tufts or singly on conifer stumps and
on buried or exposed roots of dead conifers.

5 - 8 cms.
August - October
Generally considered edible, although easily confused with
Galerina Marginata, commonly referred to as the Funeral Bell,
which is deadly poisonous. If you need a further disincentive
the small size and infrequent occurrence of Conifer Tuft
surely make it a mushroom that is not worth collecting to eat.
When picking any fungus for consumption,
caution should be exercised at all times.
