mushroom identification

These little mushrooms have come up in an indoor pot with a plant growing in
it. They don't match anything in Roger Phillips' book, or any of my other
mushroom books, and don't look like any I've seen before. As you can 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

You're not going to be able to tell at this stage because the fruiting
bodies look immature. You need to wait a few days until the caps fully
open up as they reach full size.

OK, I'll wait a while and see. It's the strange shape of the stem that has
me foxed. Also, the little mushrooms are only about 1 cm high, so life
could get interesting.

I see you have bark on the surface of the pot. The spores for your
fungus presumably came from that. Can't identify them tho!

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.

Try ispot.org.uk Helped me ID fungi within a couple of days. It's like the old "I Spy" books only for adults.

They look a bit cep/penny bun like to me.

They may look the same shape as penny bun but are very much smaller.

That is neither the appearance of immature cep (which are mostly cap with little stem to start with), nor their habit either (sometimes a couple grow together, but not in a dense stand like that). Boletes mostly grow in mycorrhizal association with trees. I expect these ones will turn out to be gill-capped fungi.
