These tiny spoon-like fungi were growing from a steep mossy trail bank very close to the pullout for parking and trailhead.

Conifer Log. Average spore size is 42 x 15 microns. Smooth to slightly roughened with one large and two small oil drops when mature.
Paraphyses clavate, septate, filled with colored granules that are released when you make a squash mount.
The above photos are of immature specimens. Luckily, there was a remnant of an old fruit body further down the log.
Not a clear DNA ITS match.
I should have noted what tree the cone came from.
Unfortunately I deleted the field photos. Growing in a small crevice in a sandstone outcrop / overhang.
Coprinellus 'PNW 04' growing completely submerged in flowing water on various small pieces of wood. I have no reason to think the water level here has recently risen, in a spring and summer long stream of snowmelt directly below a culvert in a considerable current, we haven't had any significant hot streak that would have raised the flow.
Overmature and mature clusters collected. Bases of the stipe seemed to have a "holdfast" adaptation at the base similar Vibrissea, see pictures. (I know they are in a different order, more of a visual metaphor)
White spores, growing within 10 feet of Lyophyllum d, Marasmius o, and shaggymanes. Pothunters beware!
spores and leptocystidia rather large
spores subglobose to ellipsoid, inamyloid, ornamentation not found in MLZ, thick-walled?
already reported from Japan (Maekawa, 2021)
Podospora millespora
https://www.speciesfungorum.org/Names/SynSpecies.asp?RecordID=337415
Black perithecia growing on incubated dung of Sylvilagus floridanus
Perithecial necks totally glabrous
Asci saccate, basally tapered, and appearing to house 1024 spores based on estimation and literature. Seems possible these are only 512 spored asci but those species did not match macroscopically.
Immature spores blue en masse!
Mature spores nearly black in color
Apical caudle scraggly and crooked, basal caudle is the same.
Got to species using this key
The long sap streak on a large White Pine was heavily colonized with the small orange apothecia. Spores 2 μm diameter, globose, hyaline, somewhat thick wall.
It is certainly a Cortinarius but I don't know the species. Area between stream and the gravel gated access road in a damp mossy area
Under Abies balsamea and Alnus. Radish odor and flavor. Dark red in KOH.
This fuzzy little cort was growing from the ground on the edge of a pine plantation where the pines are dying out and many different kinds of hardwood saplings are competing to fill the niche. Walnut, hickory, maples, oaks, ash, and elm saplings were all within ten feet of this mushroom. Other woody perennials that I could not identify were also present there.
Found growing from wood chips in a flowerbed

Hypomyces "sp-PA02"
DNA - ITS - Nanoopore
First use of this temp code.
North American species differ in ITS from European collections for C. cyanophylla, thus this is currently C. cyanophylla sensu lato
Aka Yellow Patches - this specimen is about 2 1/4 inches high and has a prominent ring left by the partial veil and what looks like damage to the stipe making it look sort of like Big Bird's legs. This is a 21-image stack and features a cute little bug on top and a tiny mushroom hiding in the moss.
Found this Leccinum atrostipitatum under a bench and because of the awkward angle I didn't even notice its companion until I processed it. The little one is a Mycena species I'm pretty sure. OM 90mm at probably f8
Smelled like bubble gum. pinkish-white. in group from the ground. Mossy ground beneath conifer. Fairly small ( inch or less across cap). Species seems to like comfier in coastal regions.
