Annadel State Park, just off Lawndale Trail. In robust chaparral habitat under large power line system
Fruit bodies growing from white mycelial “cocoon” in soil under Adenostoma fasciculatum
Strange, cordyceps-like fungus with two sporocarps emerging from a white, mycelial "cocoon" buried underneath the surface of the soil. Sporocarps like little bulbous clips, covered din a white, cracking tissue. No in-tact insect body detected, but some spherical chitinous remains of what seems to be of insect origin were found

Taste mild
Extremely fluorescent (green/yellow) on all parts!

FDS-CA-00704
Reinhardt Redwood Regional Park, Pinehurst Staging Area- EBRPD. Baccharis pilularis, Eriogonum fasciculatum, Frangula californica, Umbellularia californica and Quercus agrifolia dominated CA chaparral and woodlands
Growing abundantly in Baccharis pilularis leaf litter
Tiny white, almost translucent Hemimycenoid with veil-like decurrent lamellae
No smell detectable

Growing in mid elevation mixed conifer forest. Pileus pink to pale yellowish white, broadly campanulate. Lamellae peachy pink, fading to white. Stipe smooth, pinkish at apex, fading to greyish brown at the base, with greyish basal tomentum.

Growing on the inner surface of a hanging sheet of Quercus chrysolepis bark. Pileus tan with a scalloped edge, dusted-crystalline texture with more whitish ornamentation towards the margin. Lamellae widely spaced, decurrent to widely attached. Stipe small, light tan.

Growing in edge-riparian pine forest on ultramafic soil. Pileus yellow, flat to ruffled and uplifted at margin, K-. Lamellae dingy brown, free to narrowly attached. Stipe whitish, with rusty-brown spore covered cortina remnants and a spade-shaped base.

Emerging from side dead conifer, possible Jeffrey pine.
Secotioid agaric with shape of squashed baseball. Cap slimy, orange-yellow with fibrillose reddish brown scales. Gills grayish brown, wrinkled, looking like meat. Stipe well-developed but squat; white with reddish brown scales. Thick partial veil, becoming separated in older specimens but cap margins still very close to stipe (not opening).
Odor woody. KOH+ pink.

Wash. In shade under Salix, emerging from woody debris and alluvial soil.
Cap orange-brown, darker at center, plane, gently umbonate. Gills dull orange. Stipe reddish brown, lighter on upper 1/4.
KOH red. Not UV reactive.

On Cylindropuntia californica. Erumpent clear jelly that changed to brown/orange then black when dried and no longer jelly-like. Left black scars on the cactus. No other fungi present to suggest that it was parasitic on Stereum, Peniophora or else

Growing from duff and organic matter under Ribes nevadense understory- Calocedrus decurrens, Abies and Alnus rhombifolia nearby
Near East Fork Barton Creek, San Bernardino NF
Subdecurrent gills with pale pink spore print (seen in third photo)
Farinaceous/cucumbery smell
Very bitter/chemically taste
Slightly UV reactive (hard to get photo)

On dead branch of Rhamnus ilicifolia.

Ascoma black discoid perithecia with central depression. Mature ascus 78 x 16 µm, thick walled, 8-spored; apex IKI-. Ascus walls thickest in immaturity, 4.9 µm. Ascospores hyaline dictyospores, 21-25 µm.

Slight Farinaceous odor detected. Sub decurrent to decurrent gills, strongly hygrophanous. In scattered duff under conifers.
Spores from nearby mushroom on my desk scattered onto slide, so i'll have to redo the spore micro. The spores are very likely broadly elliptic, and white, as I only saw spores fitting that description.

There were cystidia and odd inflated elongated hyphae protruding out of the gill face,
