Dark olive yellow crust with white margin Growing on deadwood trailside,
Near redwood/doug fir/sitka spruce,
Orangey brown KOH rxn,
UV,
Tiny stalked orange ascos growing on decaying leaf trailside,
Mild UV,
Near alder,
Mild candy Cap odor,
No KOH rxn
Pyrenomycete with black hemispherical ascomata. On branches of Salvia mellifera.
No idea. Found in pine/redwood/fir duff beneath sword ferns. Very white
Overthinking this one. Growth on a birch or Alnus.
Chondrostereum purpureum seems likely but my gut rejects it. The fruits were rather tough compared to what i've handled, and the caps were covered in small fine hairs.
fertile surface purplish, with some red stains, margin with thin white band.
Slightly reddish discoloration where handled, but
Growing on base of dead Pinus torreyana.
Annual capped polypore, fleshy, pores slowly bruising brown. Cap pinkish tan, fuzzy, with upright imbrication. Pores white, angular, margins serrated. KOH-
Odor earthy like Laetiporus.
Growing on burnt wood in ultramafic chaparral. Resupinate-corticoid white and chocolate brown fungi. Not bracketing, hymenium dark brown with a thin white margin.
Very thin, nearly transparent in some parts. White when young. Yellow-green KOH reaction that appeared to be more blue/teal later when taken out of tackle box at home
On decaying conifer wood
Cap about 5mm
Cup-shaped, with yellow fertile surface, white and hairy rim
Rudimentary stipe
Ascocarp one of a pair
Very small, 3mm max, In wet, sandy soil under Bay and Oak
Resupinate polyporoid growing on manzanita wood. Hymenium thick, consisting of regular white pores, peeling up at the edges.
Growing on rotting log in Hesperocyparis sargentii/Quercus durata forest. Astipitate minute cups, ruffly edges with beige hymenium.
Polypore with concentric bands on top growing near sitka spruce/Huckleberry,
Growing on deadwood,
Eraser odor,
UV,
Red KOH
Grey clavarioid fungi under Sequoia sempervirens, Pseudotsuga menziesii, and Notholithocarpus densiflorus forest. Head long, smooth, grey, thickest towards apex. Stipe shinier, more fibrous-looking, a different tone of grey, long and twisted from growing up through leaf litter.
Tiny cup fungi on well-decayed Quercus chrysolepis wood. Astipitate, translucent white cups with wavy margins.
Not sure what tree
Modified by CombineZP. On decaying Bay leaf, very small. Is the spikey creature a scale insect?
On a decomposing conk - possibly a Fomitopsis ocracea? No collection, but I have location notes if someone wants to try to find it soon.
Tiny white cups on rotting swordfern,
Bright white margin,
Looks more like a crystal jelly under the scope; it doesn't look hairy
growing on weathered olive seed on ground under ornamental olive trees
Purple hue. On Quercus wislizeni
Pacific Spirit Regional Park, Vancouver, BC, Canada
Growing in sand dune,
Brown cup with stem,
Thumbsize ostiole with upturned margin,
No odor,
No taste but very sandy,
Mild UV,
No KOH rxn
In grass under Quercus douglasii
Brown crust with white margin,
Growing on deadwood alongside trichaptum,
Mild UV rxn,
No odor,
KOH indistinct,
Near redwood/doug fir
Bruises faint red
Same one I saw previously... survived the rain!!!
Interesting fungus on peanut sauce in my fridge.
With Quercus wislizeni/douglasii and Pinus sabiniana. Smell of bleach. Orange staining at bottom of stipe.
On loose debris on a rotten tanoak log, deep shade. Might have been wood rat dung, or just decayed bits of the log, it was hard to tell. Unfortunately I tripped and dropped the specimen before I could examine it any further...
I guess? Soft and somewhat rubbery weakly zonate hirsute unicolorous cap with angular pores which are elongated towards the margin to become Mazelike. On standing dead Alnus rubra in overlapping shingles. Whitish ochre pores that became slightly darker when rubbed.
Found by Phil Dekat,
Small whitish mushroom with darkened center
Spore deposit white. Spores allantoid, (3.9) 4 - 4.6 (4.8) x (1.4) 1.42 - 1.6 (1.7) um, Q = (2.4) 2.6 - 3 (3.1), Me = 4.3 x 1.5 um. Pores bruise light brown, 3 pores per mm. Growing on a conifer log.
