Baeospora myosura, commonly known as conifercone cap, is a species of fungus that produces agaricoid fruit bodies on decaying pine and spruce cones. The pileus is pale brown to cream, the lamellae are pale and very crowded, and the spore print is white or cream and amyloid. It is commonly found in North America and Europe. It is regarded as nonpoisonous but is of unknown edibility.[2]
