Occuring mostly on significantly decomposed wood. Wood not identified but likely Kunzea leptospermoides as this was the dominant tree host in the area. Also potentially Acacia dealbata.

Potentially P. papuana or something close in section Cordisporae.

Last 3 photos are microscopy.
Spores 6-7.5 μm long - 5.3-5.8 μm wide.

Beneath Ponderosa pine, vine maple and Douglas fir.
Elevation: 1900ft.
Harvested/dehydrated specimen for herbarium collection.
My coinciding Mushroomobserver observation below-

https://mushroomobserver.org/492140?q=1n0aw

Growing in the same location as observation 454185 and observation 454187. Outside of the Northeast corner of Kottman Hall. Growing abundantly under the soil at the base of a Tilia sp. Quercus rubra nearby. Some ascocarps had been excavated and partially eaten by Sciurus carolinensis. Ascocarps up to 35.7 mm wide. Peridium verrucose. Texture firm. Strong pungent odor, described as being like “broccoli with soy sauce” by P. Brandon Matheny and students. I would agree with this description but add that it had a note of garlic.

Growing on a moss covered fallen hardwood. Brown/black spore deposit on the stem. Stem darkened to a brown when rubbed. Area is full of beech, oak, hemlock, and rhododendron. Shady and moist. Rocky and mossy. Not a bog.

Growing singular under salal in fir dominant forest. Near doug fir, western hemlock, big leaf maple and sword fern. Growing from soil, through duff. Flattened ridges turning black/brown w/ maturity. Rounded cap is an infrequent morphology for this species. DNA analyzed in fall of 2020, both ITS and RPB2 regions sequenced.

Substrate: old Populus trichocarpa log.
