Description

Large patch with at least two Hygrocybe spp. under Rhus integrifolia and Heteromeles arbutifolia. Another patch nearby was under exclusively H. arbutifolia suggesting that that might be the important leaf litter association here. Stands out from other Southerb California Hygrocybe observations in that no bay laurel was in the area.

Up to 5 inches tall. Pale yellow, pileus conical when fresh becoming planar-convex retaining a slight umbo. Blackening. Gills white into maturity until blackening. Stipe yellow fading to white at bottom, bifurcated in some fruitboedies.

Dr. Priscila Chaverri and her teaching assistant, Efraín Escudero-Leyva of the Instituto Politécnico Nacional in Mexico, were the course’s resident ascomycetologists. As this initially resembled one of the green Hypocrea/Trichoderma spp., I passed it off to them, thinking light work would be made of the ID process. After some microscopy and reference checking, Efraín returns with the name Dactylospora, a (mostly) lichenicolous genus in the Lecanorales.

This is one of the most beautiful fungi I have ever seen, and I greatly look forward to discovering the rest of its name.

UPDATE 8/28/16: Believed to be a member of the genus Abrothallus by multiple members of the “Ascomycetes of the World” Facebook group. Name updated accordingly.

Substrate: unk. foliose lichen (Observation 249900)

Habitat: Costa Rican Páramo
