Found by @samzanita at the base of a blade of grass on the underside of a log. Same specimen as this observation https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/199743127

The specimen was collected by Nate Dube and will be examined by them under higher magnification.

It was actively raining that day hence the shiny wet surface of the specimen.

Rediscovered this observation from 2018 with no small amount of excitement; I think it may show Pleurotus cystidiosus with both its anamorph and teleomorph on display!

See the second picture for a diagram of my assumption. Unfortunately I didn't have a microscope in 2018, so no spore shots are available. The third and fourth images isolate the anamorph and teleomorph respectively.

I am aware that there are a few (closely related?) Pleurotus spp. that can also present anamorphic forms, so please let me know if the identification is off.
