In Central Iowa, I found this growing independently in my compost. It was growing directly out of a dung clump from our dairy cow. It has a smokey bluish gray cap that almost looks powdery. It was fragile. The spore print was a dark purple to black. Hollow stem. No defining features when damaged or bruised. Found it after about 5 days of rain, then 1 very sunny, humid day.

Very nice! I will go home and take another photo today. It looks like it is very distinctive in its maturity so hopefully that will help. And yes, the stalk was scaly.
