Spore deposit buff/wheat. No distinct odor. Basidia 10 - 12.3 µm wide and up to 100 µm long. Spores (14) 14.3 - 15.8 (15.9) x (6.8) 7.2 - 8.3 (8.5) µm, Q = 1.8 - 2 (2.1), N = 20, Me = 15 x 7.7 µm, Qe = 2. Growing under conifers.
Initially I was tempted to call this Turbinellus floccosus due to the orange coloring, but ruled it out after measuring the basidia size. Per MycoMatch, basidia of T. kauffmanii are reported to be up to 115 µm long whereas those of T. floccosus are up to 60 µm long.

Coprinopsis cerkezii growing on incubated alpaca dung. Fruit-bodies mostly very small and fragile.
Spores: (N:21) Av. 6 x 3.1 um.
ITS sequences matches holotype.
First UK record.
Locally abundant in mossy edge around small boggy lake. With Suillus ampliporus. So cool!

As in Observation 177471+Observation 172217, despite these nodules’ occurrence on what can safely be assumed to be many stalks of the same species of bamboo (Chusquea sp.?), they are so varied and so lacking in “transitionality” from younger to older as to suggest that there is, in fact, more than one fungus at work here. A more scrutinous analysis, either at the collection’s current home of Buenos Aires, or in San Francisco, will shed much needed light.
Habitat: Atlantic Paranaense forest
Substrate: on thin, living shoots of bamboo, typically only those a meter or more above the ground
Collector: D. Newman & F. Mafalda Freire
Collection #: CIAR020
Collected during the 2015 “Curso de Identificación de Macrohongos Degradadores de Madera,” lead by Dr. Gerardo Robledo, Dr. Elisandro Ricardo Drechsler-Santos, Dr. Orlando Fabián Popoff Montañez and Nicolás Niveiro.
Gills. It was starting to rain so I just took a couple quick pictures and grabbed a bit to work on later.
Pores.
The single fruiting body is about 10 cm tall.
Spores measure 10 µm long by 5 µm wide. I scraped spores from the spore print and added spore pictures 9/21.
Many oaks in this area.
growing with Arbutus unedo and some sort of myrtaceous tree.
First time I have seen a Cortinarius with an exotic tree in CA.
with oaks, ~ T. yateseii
A. cf aureosylvatica

Better photos on camera
Bay laurel and Ceanothus leaf litter
With Picea. Also not commonly observed in Minnesota. Third observation on iNat in the state. Pleasant smell, yellowing when handled. Caps a tan golden marshmallow color.
Small fungi growing on decaying laterite block (stone cut for temple walls). In full shade for. Caps +/- 20mm wide and tallest specimens 50-75mm high. No discernable smell. Stem discolors to a dark grey/brown color when bruised from picking.
TEXAS!!! NEW DISCOVERY!
Texas, you can officially add the extremely elusive
Lysurus cruciatus, (Lizard’s Claw Stinkhorn), to the list of species found in Texas. To my knowledge the Lizard’s claw is rarely found or reported anywhere really and 0 documented in Texas. I stumbled upon these 2 specimens in a line of woods by a abandoned pasture in South Houston. I found them directly in a cow patty. Strangely they were within a few feet of two, also very rare, Cauliflower Mushrooms! I was quite amazed by them and decided to collect them to identify and low and behold they squirted black goo on my palm when I pulled them up. It was absolutely rancid. It was pretty much like something you would see in one of the Alien movies. I only just read about and identified what I found through a Reddit community & realized I needed to document this somewhere as it’s a first….
Pretty pretty cool fungus is all I can say. I literally thougt they were crab claws in a cow patty somehow at first

Hongo de color púrpura, uno de los tantos que se pueden ver del género Cortinarius, tiene un olor fuerte a naftalina, es de consistencia dura y firme, al cortar por la mitad se torna de color amarillento, fructifica en otoño.
White hairs on
Ascocarpo anaranjado de alrededor de 1,5 cm. Borde aserrado y consistencia correosa. Estípite reducido o ausente. Contexto de color amarillo crema. Crecimiento gregario sobre madera en descomposición (saxícola).
On old cottonwood stump probably 8-12 years old.
Incredibly dense mushroom growing under Picea
Dark black KOH rxn on pileus
Specimen stored at the Icelandic Institute of Natural History Fungarium Akureyri
This specimen was found after several days searching after the first find on November 26, 2023. It is in the same rocky woodlands but another area. Also growing on Pinus contorta.
