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)

Found by truffle dog Rye, fruiting gregariously along an ephemeral creek bed. Some were visible without any digging (see the bright truffle in the creek photo).

Aroma predominantly of banana/starchy tropical fruit, with undertones of Kalamata olive. Fruit bodies dense, with rainbow tones in both the gleba and peridium including orange/yellow, pink, and purple.

Surrounding trees included mountain hemlock and firs. Elevation ~5500’. Notably, these were found a couple days after the first rains of summer/early fall.

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.

As a waxcap enthusiast, these were one of the most interesting collections I've ever made. Growing in white sand between forest edge and road. Poorly formed gills, mostly ridges and smooth hymenium on young specimens. Flat pileus. Large fruiting, (especially since most Hygrocybe spp. encounters involved only a single fruit) over 20 mushrooms, very small stature. Location approximate.

This observation is for the clusters of spikes on top of the mushroom in https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/97729121. @harsiparker and @ranmofod suggested that I look more closely at the spikes because they could be entomopathogenic fungi. I cut off a chunk of material around one cluster, and I realized that it was actually growing out of a decayed piece of wood that was lying across the top of the mushroom. There was a white spore-like powder under the spikes (3rd photo). Then I scraped the wood away from the spikes on one side. They were growing out of what looked like an insect pupa in a tunnel. I also noticed other tunnels full of sawdust within the wood (7th photo).

https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/98231684 and https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/98232161 show arthropods that were on the large mushroom.

Originally I had no idea what this was. I thought it was a cordyceps as it has erupted from the body of a katydid or grasshopper. Someone has suggested pin mold, another has suggested slime mold.
Found positioned on a decaying log in subtropical rainforest next to a creek. We have recently had lots of rain and high humidity.

Via a cordyceps identification page on Facebook, Nigel Hywel-Jones commented "It is indeed spectacular, and rare. In 35+ years and over 20,000 collections in 12 countries I have found it once. On an adult moth. That is how rare it is. It is in the genus Sporodiniella and is a Zygomycete. It looks similar to Sporodiniella umbellata."

So I have now listed it as such.
