Default mushroom identification

see,
an urn-like stem, with a little pointy cap. So far they're only about
1cm
high at most.

Any advice welcome. And if nobody knows, can anyone point me to a
website
that might do identification?

Thanks from someone

I did once come across something about exotic mushrooms you might find
in indoor pot plants, but I can't remember where. Probably some
inspired googling might find them.


On either radio or TV --I can't remember --they sometimes mention an
identification service of some sort: prowling through BBC Natural
History should find it.
