??? Perplexing

Growing in a dried up stream bed.

Incredibly fragile stem and weird habitat

On incubated (I believe) whitetail deer dung.

Will do measurements.

found on basswood A001

Blue/ green on stem base and cap

Inocybe "glaucescens-NY01"

Growing on Girgensohn’s peatmoss (Sphagnum girgensohnii)

Growing on clay-mud with algae all over the surface.
Presumably parasitizing the algae.

I don’t recognize any of the micro features but it does seem fungal

white hyperparasite on cf. Coleosporium campanulae.

Anyone know what this white fungi is that’s growing out of the dead shelf fungus? One of the ones on the left looks like it has some spread out gills

found growing on moss, hardwood bark, and paper towel in a humidity chamber

on Physocarpus opulifolius

Freshwater Hyphomycete, growing on submerged wood in a small stream

On Desmodium canadense

Rust on wild sarsaparilla leaf

Site of many rare plants and fungi - bulldozed for beach nourishment. Next few posts are the remnants of what they didn’t destroy.

found on Symphyotrichum while observing mildew

typical yellow-green UV reaction but only on the inner flesh (cross-section) and gills, cap and stem negative.

KOH yellow-brown on inner flesh (cross-section)

KOH purple-black on stem and cap

Microcera cf. lichenicola - probably a new species, doesn’t seem well studied. Two lichenicolous species from Europe.

Will add those species but was getting 404 error when I tried last time

Growing solely from moss that was only growing on recently burned ground

Spores globose to subglobose

Spots on pawpaw leaves.
Possibly fungus Phyllosticta

On rotten wood that flooded for a big part of the year.

Photos 3-8: basal mycelium through 40x (golden-threads)

Photo 9: Apothecia through 10x

Photos 10-18: Spores and Asci through 40x

So beautiful

photo 1 shows bumps top-lit at 200x

photo 2 shows bumps top-lit at 100x

@urbanrivers

On wet dead grass stem

10% KOH mount. growing on a stick in the shade, almost under a log. might be too young to tell much about it

Stacked from 19 images. Method=B (R=30,S=7)

!!!!! So stoked - tentative ID but definitely pleurotoid subg. Claudopus

Focus stack of gill edge at 200x - showing 2 and 4 spored basidia

Spores def Entoloma

Woodchip habitat, small stature.

Will confirm ID with microscopy later

So gorgeous. Would love to know the species.

Growing near Mitrula and from rotten Quercus rubra leaves. Partially submerged in stagnant water.

Fungus has a fluffy aspect and looks as if cover with sugar(the conidia). Conidia have one septa. On a hollow stick of Ficus carica. Perhaps T. candidum?

Metarhizium maybe?

Growing in mulch

Stacked from 42 images. Method=B (R=30,S=7)

200x mag

HRL4241

In moss. Hemlocks. Microscopy. Vouchered. JET231104_02

Parasitizing an old desecrated agaric

So much beauty

A few mushrooms growing from soil near hardwood trees

Similar observations from same outing close by rule out X. cornu-damae and X. hypoxylon.
