Voucher Collection 9537 was collected on 22 November 2008 in an Oak/Douglas-fir Forest west of Salyer, Trinity County, California. The 2 fruiting bodies were caespitose in humus beneath an Oak. Sarah Burgeman obtained ITS sequence and Sharon Squazzo analyzed this sequence and indicated it was a 100% match to iNat 14804387. Sarah Bergeman also obtained unpublished sequences for gene RPB2, nLSU and mtSSU

Auweia collection.

Paraphyses brown, curved at tips.
Asci tips blue in Melzers (all micrographs are Melzers mounts)
spores ~20µm

Willing to do measurements but I don't believe its necessary at this time. Scale bars are accurate.

Apple Drump collection.
