This one confused everyone up there, but was a very popular ‘shroom for its smell. Although a very small, pretty much colorless ’shroom, it packed quite an olfactory punch. The odor was of moth-balls, kinda intense chemical naphalene-y smell. It was soo intense, that it was almost a physical presense, I couldn’t comfortable get these to within six inches of my face.

Because the unique smell people spend sometime trying to make sense of these, but they were still unknown by the end of the weekend.

They were id’ed later by just the description of the smell, and I was told these are kinda a rare ’shroom to find.

Alongside observation 489730 and near observation 489737. Thick walled encrusted cystidia present in trama and subglobose spores about 5-6×4-5. Resupinate habit would key out to Rigidoporus vinctus, but some pileate examples present on side of log.

Coltricia-type mushroom growing on ground on side of dirt road. Solitary. Cap tough, 4.5 cm in diameter, lacking typical well-demarcated concentric rings of C. perennis or cinnamomea, although somewhat ringed peripherally. Color light orangish brown centrally, with darker ring peripherally and then pale on border of cap. Context brown, bruising darker and staining black in KOH. Stalk central, 2 cm long, 2x1 cm wide (asymmetric), brown surface, dark brown to black on cut cross-section. Pores irregular, varying in size and shape. Pore surface tan, bruising dark brown.

With aerial cordlike growth. Orange to fading white yellow crusts.
I believe this was on Tsuga heterophylla. Growing on underside of fallen log, spanning apxt. 10 inches, with aerial cordlike growth nearby. Margin cordlike, orange with orange red.
P. sanguinea perhaps.

Found on a Spring foray with the Snohomish County Mycological Society. while everyone was picking Verpa, I'm o'er yonder crawling around in the ferns looking for stuff like this lol
I took a lot of photos of this thing & I can't say that I am particularly pleased with any of them. Also, I'm lost on what this observation should even be labeled as anyways..
