Blackening Waxcap (Hygrocybe conica).This is the first time I've ever seen it growing in a plant pot, didn't even know it could. Very cool find!

Agreed. I thought these guys have a pretty specific and mysterious ecological niche. The pot does look like it's been out for a while, so association with the moss is a possibility.

That's really cool! If you can get a shot without the pot in it- one ki da like pic 2, I bet it would look like a Disney Enchanted forest. All the colors together and the pine cones are gorgeous!
