Mycena tenerrima photographed today on a redwood twig in Sonoma County, California. This very tiny Mycena is extremely common but isn't often seen. The easiest way to recognize it is by the disc at the base of the stem and powdery cap.

Described from Great Britain, this name also applies in the USA as the ITS sequences are the same in Europe and North America.

I’ve seen @aaronjhillard ‘s and @millivedder ’s Cantharellus formosus observations and thought I’d see for myself. Chanterelles in June seemed pretty crazy! I went back to where I had found some last year, and, sure enough, found some beautiful little butter sponges! I feel bad for picking them though, they were way too tiny. I should have left them there and come back to them in a couple of days. Also, I’m pretty sure I’ve accidentally come across someone else’s secret chanterelle spot, but whatever.

Oh, and happy 200th observation!
