I saw a Genus Parasola in the forest. Parasola is a genus of small, veil-less coprinoid mushrooms in the family of Psathyrellaceae (“The genus Parasola in Pakistan with the description of two new species”). To be specific, this mushroom is Parasola auricoma. All of the Parasola mushrooms are short-lived fruit bodies, and one day you see it, the next day it might have disappeared without trace. Parasola auricoma is uncommon across Britain and Ireland, but it has been recorded in Japan and in many parts of North America (“Parasola auricoma (Pat.) Redhead, Vilgalys & Hopple - Goldnhaired inkcap”).
