Conifer Log. Average spore size is 42 x 15 microns. Smooth to slightly roughened with one large and two small oil drops when mature.
Paraphyses clavate, septate, filled with colored granules that are released when you make a squash mount.
The above photos are of immature specimens. Luckily, there was a remnant of an old fruit body further down the log.
Not a clear DNA ITS match.
I should have noted what tree the cone came from.
Unfortunately I deleted the field photos. Growing in a small crevice in a sandstone outcrop / overhang.
Coprinellus 'PNW 04' growing completely submerged in flowing water on various small pieces of wood. I have no reason to think the water level here has recently risen, in a spring and summer long stream of snowmelt directly below a culvert in a considerable current, we haven't had any significant hot streak that would have raised the flow.
Overmature and mature clusters collected. Bases of the stipe seemed to have a "holdfast" adaptation at the base similar Vibrissea, see pictures. (I know they are in a different order, more of a visual metaphor)
White spores, growing within 10 feet of Lyophyllum d, Marasmius o, and shaggymanes. Pothunters beware!
Common size for all the thuja in this area
spores and leptocystidia rather large
spores subglobose to ellipsoid, inamyloid, ornamentation not found in MLZ, thick-walled?
already reported from Japan (Maekawa, 2021)
Podospora millespora
https://www.speciesfungorum.org/Names/SynSpecies.asp?RecordID=337415
Black perithecia growing on incubated dung of Sylvilagus floridanus
Perithecial necks totally glabrous
Asci saccate, basally tapered, and appearing to house 1024 spores based on estimation and literature. Seems possible these are only 512 spored asci but those species did not match macroscopically.
Immature spores blue en masse!
Mature spores nearly black in color
Apical caudle scraggly and crooked, basal caudle is the same.
Got to species using this key
The long sap streak on a large White Pine was heavily colonized with the small orange apothecia. Spores 2 μm diameter, globose, hyaline, somewhat thick wall.
In cedar swamp on moss-covered rotting stump
It is certainly a Cortinarius but I don't know the species. Area between stream and the gravel gated access road in a damp mossy area
Under Abies balsamea and Alnus. Radish odor and flavor. Dark red in KOH.
This fuzzy little cort was growing from the ground on the edge of a pine plantation where the pines are dying out and many different kinds of hardwood saplings are competing to fill the niche. Walnut, hickory, maples, oaks, ash, and elm saplings were all within ten feet of this mushroom. Other woody perennials that I could not identify were also present there.
Found growing from wood chips in a flowerbed

Hypomyces "sp-PA02"
DNA - ITS - Nanoopore
First use of this temp code.
North American species differ in ITS from European collections for C. cyanophylla, thus this is currently C. cyanophylla sensu lato
Aka Yellow Patches - this specimen is about 2 1/4 inches high and has a prominent ring left by the partial veil and what looks like damage to the stipe making it look sort of like Big Bird's legs. This is a 21-image stack and features a cute little bug on top and a tiny mushroom hiding in the moss.
Found this Leccinum atrostipitatum under a bench and because of the awkward angle I didn't even notice its companion until I processed it. The little one is a Mycena species I'm pretty sure. OM 90mm at probably f8
Smelled like bubble gum. pinkish-white. in group from the ground. Mossy ground beneath conifer. Fairly small ( inch or less across cap). Species seems to like comfier in coastal regions.
Sporen zylindrisch bis phaseoliform
(4.9) 5 - 6.2 (6.5) × (2.6) 2.8 - 3.28 (3.3) µm
Q = (1.7) 1.73 - 2.1 ; N = 13
Me = 5.7 × 3 µm ; Qe = 1.9
Lamellentrama mit Kristallen
Ohne Schnallen
Basidien 4-Sporig häufig verbogen/wellig
HDS eine Kutis aus kurzseptierten Hyphen mit Intrazellulärem Pigment
Growing on pore surface of Fomes excavatus. Vouchered. JET231129_01
Finally! After all these years, I am able to see this peculiar species!
Found growing on wet, rotten, wood of Populus tremuloides
synnemata, isolate, +- indeterminate, white, with transluscent stipe. Clamp connection at some septa. Conidiogenesis not observed. Conidia, hyaline, flat, formed with four symmetrical lobes, giving it the appearance of a Four-leaf clover or a poppy flower. Conidia probably attached flat on the top of the conidiophore. Conidia measure 9 - 12µm in length. and about 4-6µm in height.
Conidia, rarely, with 5 lobes, perhaps finding one is a sign of good luck
The distinctive conidia, synnematous conidiomata and clamps connection make this species unique
Found on a Spring foray with the Snohomish County Mycological Society. while everyone was picking Verpa, I'm o'er yonder crawling around in the ferns looking for stuff like this lol
I took a lot of photos of this thing & I can't say that I am particularly pleased with any of them. Also, I'm lost on what this observation should even be labeled as anyways..
