Speciment found in my EEON plot (Elevation 213ft. and Coordinates: 47.07095, -122.97882) on Pseudotsuga mensiezii on TESC, weather 45 and cloudy. Dense acrocarpous tuft about 3.5cm tall and about 8cm wide, individual leaves are 0.5cm long. Dull green when dry, brighter forest green when wet, slightly glossy in appearance. Stems erect, each branch is ~1.3 long and densely tomentose below. Leaves linear to subulate, slightly keeled, serrulate to double toothed above the middle part of the leaves, costa wide. Leaves are curly when dry, papillose near the tip of the leaf on the back side, alar cells inflated and brown not extending to the costa, gradually tapering throughout. Capsule elongate, arcuate, setae are 1.5cm & brownish red, capsule strumose when dry, peristome reddish orange, teeth around 0.5mm long.

Specimen found on a rotting piece of hardwood on the forest floor in EEON plot D8 (Elevation: 260ft, Coordinates: 47.4, -122.58), weather 68 and partly sunny. leafy liverwort that is dark green to yellowish, 1-2 pinnately branched. Sporophyte setae are clear with a black/dark brown sporangium that dehisces into a star-shaped (4-lobed) structure.

Found on TESC near B-Lot & labs 1 & 2

Weather : Partly cloudy around 45 degrees fahrenheit
Bryophyta. Liverwort that is reddish rusty brown common found on Alnus rubra, this specimen was found on Pseudotsuga menziesii with pinnate branching. The lateral leaves are incubously inserted, they are unequally and complicatedly bilobed. The under leaves are equally bilobed and transversely attached.

Found on the bark of Pseudotsuga menziesii on TESC near Labs 1 & 2 as well as B-Lot. Weather was around 45 degrees fahrenheit and partly cloudy. Male antheridia branches present in photos. Grows in large sprawling mats on tree trunks, shoots are a darker army green when rehydrated. Dorsal side of shoots have overlapping leaves and the ventral view shows complicated bilobed lateral leaves. Lobules are about the same size as the under leaves. Leaf arrangement is incubous, trig
ones are somewhat uniformly thickened.

Weather : Rainy around 46 degrees fahrenheit
Bryophyta. Leaf margins folded over the lamellae, leaves are 0.5cm x 0.1cm wide, squarrose recurved with a short reddish tip and base. Moss is an acrocarp, hairy calyptra. Branches 3.2-4.7cm tall. Sporophyte present.

Found in Olympia behind the Glen apartments. Collected on rotting wood, moss is a pleurocarp. Costa visible and doesn’t reach the apex of the leaf, percurrent. Stems are simply pinnate, leaves broadly clasping the stem with decurrent alar regions. Stems about 5.5 cm long. Leaf ovate-acuminate, base cordate, margin is serrate. Leaf cells are vermiculate. Color is lime green and leaves are spirally arranged.

Found on TESC in B-lot growing out of the bark of a Pseudotsuga menziesii, elevation: 190ft. Plant associations: Thuja plicata, Mahonia nervosa, Pseudotsuga menziesii. Thallus foliose, 3.9cm darker brown mixed with olive tones/slightly green upper cortex. Upper surface is slightly wrinkled, lower cortex white/slightly brown. Marginal pycnidia.

Found on Mount Ellinor. Weather: 33 degrees and snowing. Elevation: 3,104ft. Large area of this specimen, covering almost an entire boulder. Thallus foliose, loosely appressed, large 30cm or more, I only collected a small portion. Lobes rounded and broad (2-4cm). Upper surface bright/deep green when wet, light gray when dry, cephalodia sessile to slightly sunken . Veins broad and not very distinct, dark brown almost black, short hairy rhizines. Lower cortex white. Doted is, isidia and lobules lacking.

Found along the Ralph Munro trail near TESC. Cap shape is infundibuliform, 4.5-5.1cm in diameter, depressed with a highly wavy margin. Cap lighter pink buff mixed with pale purple, gills and stipe a deeper lilac/royal purple, surface dry and scaly. Gills broadly attached, decurrent, uneven. Stipe cartilaginous, fibrous and lacunose - 14.4cm long x 1.1cm wide, purplish mycelium at base. Growing gregariously and connate, substrate a mix of deciduous and coniferous duff. Plant associations: Mahonia nervosa, Thuja plicata, Rubus ursinus. Elevation: 186ft.

Found along the Ralph Munro trail near TESC, in organic conifer duff, growing solitary. Cap white with slight tan discolorations and slightly viscid, a dramatically undulating margin and a depressed cap shape. Margins slightly incurved, cap 9.6cm across. Stipe not initially visible until excavated, short and stout, also white - 5.8cm long x 3cm wide, eccentrically placed. Gills decurrent and broadly attached with some partial gills. Taste and odor: mild. Plant associations: Mahonia nervosa, Thuja plicata, Alnus rubra, Tsuga heterophylla. Elevation: 186ft.

Foliose thallus growing on a piece of wood  with drooping/erect growth form, 2.1cm x 2.3 in size, upper cortex whitish gray to light mint green color, lower cortex black, some lobe tips are brownish. Lobes are hollow – interior color is black/ dark, erect and widely dichotomously branched. Granular soredia present on the swollen extended lobe tips.

Cap is 5.6-3.5cm in diameter with a pale yellow hue at the center of the disc, turning white at the margins. Cap margins exhibit remnants of the white partial veil which is floccose, disappearing more with age. Cap is extremely viscid with a thick layer of slime. Gills are grayish in color and broadly attached with a decurrent tooth with multiple partial gills. Stipe is mostly white, around 7.3cm long, flexuous with a radicating “root”. No distinct taste with an earthy scent. Plant associations: Pteridium aquilinum, Polystichum munitum, Vaccinium ovatum.

Caps ranging from 2.2-1.6cm in diameter, both cap and stipe is very viscid, caps ranging from an earthy green-peachy orange-bright orange with age. Stipe is 3-4cm long-also very viscid and fragile-appearing semi-translucent with a tinge of muted yellow. Gills attached, unequal and a light beige shade. Mushrooms growing both gregariously and caespitose. Plant associations: Rubus ursinus, Polystichum munitum, Porella navicularis, Kindbergia oregana, Vaccinium parvifolium. Note: the deep orange/yellow specimen is referred to as a ‘backwards parrot’ seeing as it has the opposite color trajectory that is typical of parrots, it instead goes from orange to green rather than vice versa which is typical.
