Tiny brown mushroom growing from red ultramafic clay soil in a roadcut with mosses under Hesperocyparis sargentii and Quercus durata. Pileus light brown with fine fuzz. Lamellae concolorous, widely spaced,adnexed. Stipe blackish brown at base,fading to lighter brown at apex, ornamented with white fibrils.

Searching for an identification on the internet proved to be a bit difficult as none of the resources I normally used yielded a good fit for the characteristics of this one. I came upon this taxon that appeared to match quite well but there seems to be a lack of solid documentation on it. Help confirm?

• Dark Brown slimy cap
• Gills Pink / Peach
• Stipe Brown at gill attachment turning white towards base; hollow and fibrous

Fruiting in moist lowlands with mixed hardwoods; mostly Salix. Spores elliptic, smooth, colorless, with single large oil inclusion, and
measured 17.5-21.25 x 11.25-13.75; a good match with H. solitaria (Abbott).
