Bright yellow florescence on the gills of the younger mushrooms, less so on the older mushroom

F000224 Under Manzanita
White Spored, could tell by looking at top of cap, under another mushroom.
Possibly different sp. than typical viride. Check http://www.inaturalist.org/observations/5045761 for a local example. Collected and vouchered
Underside of wet, decaying log
Hidden in rotting Madrone log
fruiting on road cut beneath Quercus agrifolia.
Helvella dryophilla and Peziza also emerging from the same hill side. Most of the specimens I found looked like they had already been partially eaten by some animal
flesh was lavendar in direct sunlight
no obvious scent to me but every specimen on this hill side had been eaten and within 5 minutes of it being in my office the grain moths were swarming it so it must be producing some sort of attractant the mammalian or just my nose can't detect
Microscopy:
irregular asci - ~120 um x 25 um
round spores - 12-13 um with thick wall
Directly from wood at base of redwoods Same habitat and look as http://www.inaturalist.org/observations/197367718, which was called a Cortinarius sp. Same habitat as this, http://www.inaturalist.org/observations/197367672 but looks a little different..
Likely, Gymnopilus "sp-CA02”
not sure on id. mostly found on redwood cones. no scent
Extremely slimy on cap and stipe

Found by Sadie Kolackovsky. Surrounding plants included Tanoak, Redwood, and young Douglas-Fir. In seep zone, next to small creek. Spores ~7.5 x 5um. Greenish hue?
Baby? Almost black, turned greenish when drying out
Almond/marzipan aroma.
At base of large manzanita burl
Spherical Jelly, mycena esque stipe. Fruiting off of slime molds
I think Hygrocybe olivaceonigra… Under planted Redwoods. Slimy stipe, cap dry. Yellow-Lime greenish tint. Much smaller than most “singeri” I find.
White mycelium, mold, or secretion from sliced and exposed bamboo roots. Roots were exposed while digging a trench next to bamboo patch. Took 3-7 days to appear. Looks like it has mold hairs on it. Maybe a mold is eating the bamboo secretion?
Found on UCSC campus in a smallish burn zone. Seemed to be fruiting only in patches that were burned. In a mixed evergreen forest consisting of redwoods, douglas-fir, madrone, huckleberry, and the occasional oak. The base of the stipe seems like it connects to clumps of clay soil underground. The soil has sparkly minerals in it. There are small nuggets of mycelium is inside the larger clumps of clay soil. No strong flavor, dries out mouth slightly, light fungal smell. White spores that powder coat caps underneath and leave rings of white spore powder on the soil beneath the cap.

Average Spore Size:

Spore Size Range:
(14.59 - 18.55) x (7.56 - 9.73) µm
Spores Measured: 32
The photo of hyphae is showing the clamped lamellar trama. The remaining microscopy photos that aren't of spores are of structures on the gill edge - I think cheilocystidia but am not sure. Interestingly I didn't see anything I could conclusively say was a basidium despite looking for quite some time.
Under redwood patch, everywhere in the duff, hundreds
found over a five foot area from a stump, same as https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/64971640
in small patches right at the base of small grasses, under a Ponderosa Pine. Hollow stipe, minimal if any bleeding.
@leptonia Thoughts?
Black/brown spores under a microscope. After peer review I have learned that this is not a Banded Mottlegill, infact it is undescribed so far. Similar to Panaeolus fimicola.
This entire grass arc has these weird partially close capped Panaeolus all over. This grass was laid within the past year so this is the first summer cycle for it. Slight blue stain to base of stipe
Microscopy:
spores = 15 x 8.75 um
basidia =
clamps = present
aff. heteropoda, probably undescribed.
2 sporocarps found in dry creekbed. Probably growing on Cyphoderris
