Salt Point State Park, near Central Trail. Mixed confier/hardwood coastal forest; Sequoia sempervirens, Abies grandis, Pseudotsuga menziesii, Notholithocarpus densiflorus, Pinus muricata, Arbutus menziesii
Growing on a well rotted and de-barked Notholithocarpus densiflorus
Tiny, pea sized orange pleurotoid fungus. Laterally attached stipe with distantly spaced, subdecurrent lamellae. Pileus striate, so thin you can almost see through it. Reduced stipe covered in tiny white hairs.
No noticeable smell, taste mild

Likely the same as this
On wet decayed sedges, maybe Carex sp., at the base of live plants in a wet seep near Salix and Quercus kelloggii.
Pinus contorta dominant forest, approx. 8,000ft. Badger Flat Campground, Sierra National Forest
Growing in a bed of Polytrichum under Pinus contorta with Fragaria vesca
Pileus brown to copper, slightly umbonate, fibrous, inrolled margin in younger specimens. Lamellae rusty brown/orange, broadly attached with a sub-decurrent behavior. Stipe thin, equal, fibrous, silvery white to almost lilac in color, faint rusty cortina intact in some specimens

Reddish/brown KOH
Diminutive, light brown mushrooms growing from mossy soil in Pseudotsuga menziesii and Notholithocarpus densiflorus forest. Pileus light brown, striate. Lamellae widely attached. Stipe long and thin, both stipe and cap ornamented with fine granules.
Growing in spruce dominated conifer forest. Pileus pumpkin orange, irregularly convex with a slightly flattened umbo. Lamellae orange-brown, narrowly to widely attached. Stipe light tan, fibrous, cylindrical.
Found in a ditch of shallow, stagnant water under redwoods and willows. Stalked, jelly like. Head broke open easily when gently squeezed, inside quite wet.
Yellow brown, stalked asco,
Growing on Alder leaf trailside
On conifer twig, from a snowlemt area at about 6500ft. My ID is a guess, happy to be corrected.
Non-viscid everywhere, purple colors in cap and stipe.
Brown, umbonate fungi with lighter margin,
White gills,
Fuzzy at base of stipe,
Growing on deadwood in camping area,
Near Doug fir/tan oak/madrone,
No UV/odor
Hidden in rotting Madrone log
Similar to Microglossum viride, but I am told it is an undescribed species.
@sigridjakob and @malacothrix have specimens for sequencing
Scale photo from my friend @bwelko. After I found the first one, we cleared out some leaves and found many more.
On Prunus fremontii, north facing wall of a steep canyon wash. Red/black KOH reaction on the cap.
Growing on burnt stump in the 2021 Caldor fire burn scar, Eldorado NF
Large, hard fruit body with hundreds of tiny holes on exterior, dissimilar from pores. Internal flesh tough and leathery clearly layered with internal tissue pinkish and external white/yellow with a darker band of zonation. Exterior tissue pink/purpleish and tender when young, white/yellowish and becoming harder in age.
Smell of blue cheese, taste extremely bitter
Red KOH, better seen on young specimen 2nd to last photo
Interesting UV rxn seen in 4th to last photo
Couldn’t find spores under the scope, just hyphae from the interior and exterior tissue, seen in last 3 photos
Larger fruit body growing from soil, smaller one growing from Salix catkin. Found under Salix sp. by stream, Warner Mountains, Modoc NF
Funnel shaped and a pinkish spore deposit. Silvery tomentose concentric rings on pileus. Decurrent lamellae
Smell slightly sweet to farinaceous, like sweet bread
Very fluorescent! Green/yellow rxn on hymenophore as seen in last photo
Burned Quercus/Pinus dominant woodland (now shrubland post-burn), just west of Knoxville road near Lake Berryessa
Growing in soil and directly off fine roots in a hole leftover from a burned out root system
Brown pileus with a wavy margin. Lamellae white to cream colored, anastomosing, subdistant to distant, broadly attached to subdecurrent. Stipe short, fibrous, off-center
Smell indistinct
Growing on pine cone,possibly Knobcone pine.
Magellan's Peatmoss Sphagnum magellanicum is the reddish colored moss growing up the hillside.
I believe this is the same species as another single specimen that I found rather nearby 3 years ago.
Stumped and delighted. What are these CONFECTIONS? The largest fruitbodies were 2mm to 2.5mm wide.
Note that the upper surface of the pileus has a dingy quality with fine hairs on top, At first glance they appear not to be stipitate, but there is clearly a stipe on many fruit bodies.

Growing under scrub oaks in chaparral. Very strange, glutinous white cap with a minutely sulcate margin.
Under chamise; no scrub oak in the immediate vicinity.
Cap 1-1.8 cm, umbonate, deep chestnut color, velvety, scaly, rimose. Cortina attached to margins. Gills dull brown to rusty brown, adnate to 'toothed'. Stipe 2-3 x 0.2-0.3 cm, lighter than cap, scaly, snake skin pattern. Odor indistinct.
Spores rough, [9.4]9.6-10[10.4] x [4.3]4.5-5.4 µm
"Del Norte mystery" subspecies. Mouth of Klamath River in the background demonstrates the proximity of this population to populations of P. c. contorta.

Taste = brassica, intensifying a bit, overall pleasant

Something like pubescentipes, maybe. could be same species as https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/194169052 - small species with notably pubescent stipe
