are photos 1 and 2 the same species but different mating types? they were on the same leaf just a few cm away from each other, but no hairs on the 1st one.
also this is different than my previous observation of this species (about 100ft away)
YESSS my favorite mushroom of all time! was not expecting to find any since it’s been dry for several days
very pointed/conical cap. gills, stipe and cap slightly viscid. hollow stipe. inrolled and undulating margin. barely visible under duff, only saw two specimens but likely more
found this species in the same spot last year too: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/163409651
i have no clue what this is, had a firm gelatinous texture
Exidia truncata is closest visual similarity i could find
i collected a tiny bit of this specimen
very rough textured cap, white gills when young, smooth stipe. Leptonia?
no distinct odor. some had very wavy stipes and some had cracked caps. smooth cap and stipe. growing scattered under Quercus and conifers. vertical striations on stipe
on Rhaphiolepis indica leaves (?) maybe
shout out to morgan/julien for sending me the spot!
larger specimen (photos 1+2): from stipe base to cap apex: 2.4 cm
cap diameter: 0.4cm
the smaller one: 1.3cm stipe to cap
same location as https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/198255114 (18 days ago) and https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/197638529 (25 days ago)
check out those observations for a detailed description of the environment ^
specimen collected
not 100% sure about ID. think it’s growing on Lactarius (maybe L. alnicola). under Quercus and conifers
Growing under redwoods along stream. Pileus very slimy, red-orange, striate towards the margin. Lamellae narrowly attached, thick, faces light orange to pale lemon yellow at the margins. Stipe dry, smooth, yellow, nattered.
growing in small cluster. pink spores. no distinct scent. smooth cap, center splitting slightly, stipe apex slightly prunoise
sticky cap, pleasant odor, under live oak next to C. californicus
very thin stipe, growing solitarily
West Coast Mycoblitz: CM24-04612
growing solitarily as far as i could tell
on a stick or decaying plant stem. dark brown spores inside
different than my previous observation of this species (but nearby). eggs in clusters in a plant bed
yellow pores bruised blue slowly
growing in small line-like clusters
brownish spore print
cap diameters: 2-4cm
growing under oak and several other hardwoods
strong cucumber odor
stipe: white flesh, ~ 7cm long, red fibrils on surface
pileus: brownish/orange, very viscid, hygrophanous, 2.2 cm
white gills, some white rhizomorphs at base, growing solitarily in hardwood and conifer forest
added to 2024 West Coast Mycoblitz with permission
Phallus ravenelii
ID based on the smooth cap and pinkish volva
growing solitarily
photos 5-6: the day before it emerged
last two photos: taken 5 hours after first 4 photos.
Genus Hygrocybe
maybe Hygrocybe Latissima, based on the lighting of color toward the cap margin, uplifted/wavy margin with age, scruffy stipe, stature and lack of a viscid cap.
robust stature
-largely spaced gills
Hygrocybe coccinea
deep red red gills, stipe and pileus.
growing alone on a tree stump.
growing alone in wood chips
hollow inside, growing from a white sac/volva
reticulations on stipe, brown goop/spores that attracted flies
