On wood and duff under Abies grandis, Pinus ponderosa, Pseudotsuga menziesii. Staining green.
collected by @jordan_gates_
Collected sample. All white. Large. Under Doug Fir Western Hemlock 3000ft elev
Think rasilipora but all white. No yellow at all. Smells different than the yellow one. Montan hemlock old growth
Growing near cottonwood
found along trail where section runs close to Royal Creek.
Elevation: 4651 feet
Found growing on conifer wood. Gills fluorescent. Spores reddish brown. Mildly bitter. Largest diameter cap is 7 cm. My first choice for this is Gymnopilus luteus. I am taking G. voitkii under advice. Both of these are thought to be east coast species. My third choice is Gymnopilus ventricosus.
Mid elev 2500 ft Doug fir/ hemlock forest with sparse huckleberry understory. Dense firm but crumbly like old cauliflower. Brown stain on stipe.
Unusually coppery Gliophorus under Sequoia sempervirens along river. Pileus pinkish to rusty orange, green and striate at margin. Lamellae strikingly yellow, thick, widely spaced, free. Stipe coppery green at apex, orange at base,nattered. Glutinous-viscid throughout, older fruit too infested with springtails to collect.
Viscid stipe and cap with smell of "frosting" Almond?
In Sitka spruce old growth like forest - deep moss layer.
Edge of native prairie under conifers. Other cortinarius species besides C. semisanguineus frequently found together.
Growing under Western Red Cedar
Elfin Saddle weighing 259 grams, 10 inches tall, growing on the forest floor under Douglas Fir trees in Olympia Wa. Sample collecting for sequencing.
cap 5.5 cm across
no odor
Elevation:2669 ft
Possible H. capreolarius
The largest was 5.5cm across.
Cap viscid. Most were frozen. I was able to salvage three that were closer to the ground. They were at
Elevation: 2502 ft.
Found them in three different locations along the trail.
The other two sites were lower in elevation and the mushrooms were getting old and soggy.
Small cup shaped fungi found growing on a conifer log beside the trail. Log was large and fairly decomposed. Fungi is very close in color to the wood it was growing on.
Funny plastic like odor. Found by pdvmushroom, see https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/9640562
Maybe R. botrytis
Elevation:4576 ft
Cap 16 cm across
Old growth mixed conifer

fruiting gregariously along trailside
Purple-brown spore print. Floccose cap.
AJG10/19/21-7&8
Under Western Hemlock, mild taste
Under second growth Sequoia sempervirens near creek
Old growth montane conifer forest.
On dead conifer log above forest floor.
In groups or single fruitings.
This needs the NA name (P. kauffmaniana - which iNat does not yet recognize.
Tiny green hygrocybe that turn yellow orange. Some patches come up orange. Mossy lawn. Maple cherry. Fruit bodies are less than an inch tall. Cap and stipe sticky. Average spore size 8 x 6 microns.
Small group of individual fruitings - not on any meaningful wood. I would sat terrestrial, but maybe in thick duff layer would be more accurate.
Mixed forest with very small cedar closest.
Astringent taste.
Cap very viscid. C. Brunneoalbus?
Hardwood, coniferous old forest, sword fern, forest undergrowth
White branches with pink tips.
H. aff. mucronella/reae, seems to be undescribed. Very bitter, completely viscid. Found in moss on the roadside
sample collected and dried for sequencing
Growing on cedar downed log.
Marginata on gill edges.
these are probably more common than we think; snowbank, under Tsuga mertensiana
Small fruits, growing throughout and on the edge of dense moss mats - mostly Polytrichum. A.chlorocyanea fruiting in close proximity.
Under coast redwood
Strong green/yellow fluorescence on margin of cap
These very bitter stocky boletes with distinctive netting and red on stipes were common under Western Hemlock trees along the Summerland trail at Mt Rainier NP. 4600' elevation. Blue where cut. Used Michael Beug "Mushrooms of Cascadia" to ID; will dry specimen. September 2023 update: Despite the red on the stipes, the DNA matched Caloboletus conifericola.
Great patch of a couple dozen Parrots in montane setting of typical rain forest.
Is this Polyporoletus sylvestris?
Found by Maria Morrow
Under Sitka Spruce
Cap yellow-ochre-tan-brown (very difficult to described and subtle mix, also difficult to capture on camera). Pores pinkish-gray to dull tan-brownish. Stipe with chartreuse green-yellow felty surface, rather irregular. Cap and pores staining greenish, more strongly on cap. Flesh with fine dark purple dots, lilac-gray throughout.
Spores round-ellipsoid to broadly amygdaliform, smooth-walled (not as coarsely ornamented/rough as in P. sublividus). Cap center finely velvety, not coarsely scaly as in P. sublividus.

Extensive mycelial Matt in duff. Under Doug fir Hemlock.
Mixed forest: Western hemlock, doug fir, and redwood, some tanoak. Found by @mandymushii!
Forest of Silver Fir and Red Cedar; growing in debris on forest floor near branch from unknown type tree
Very close to the beach tucked in with some thuja roots and dirt. Viscid on both stipe and cap but less so than the h. Fenestrata. Tiny
Medium sized Ramaria with yellow tips and almost - almost - pink branches.
No bruising when touched or cut.
Under big leaf maple in soil.
Tiny waxcap on old road grade.
Collection and photo by Michael Beug.
Spores match var. megalospora. Conifers.
Needle litter, moss, hemlock, pacific silver fir forest, huckleberries
On buried wood under Eastern hemlock
Taste mild
growing in the soil and woody debris. the young specimens had the red droplets the older had white margins and pink velvety on the cap. Toothed fungi with a long buried stipe.
Two sporocarps growing from peaty soil under sedges/spiraea in wet area on edge of poor fen. Very small, yellow tints to stem. Potentially psittacinus group
Fluoresces red under UV light.
Field photo color is misleading. More white than pink. Fragile short stubby crumbly branches though fresh emerging. 4500 ft mixed conifer trailside R. cauliformiopsis?
Under Mountain Hemlock True firs and probably some spruce and pine at 4500 ft.
Perhaps? Seems to fit the description in Mushrooms of the Redwood Coast. As far as I can tell, the caps are smooth. Under redwood and other mixed coastal conifers. Just started emerging over the past few days in small clusters (3-4) around the same spot near the edge of the forest.
Found on Abies
These may be the most beautiful mushrooms I've ever seen in my life.
Growing out of exposed soil amongst Cedar Roots along an active trail at TESC ~25 ft from observation https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/64916935
@natvik @luca_hickey
I guess it’s R. araiospora var. rubella. Note in photo of dried specimen the tips retain pink red color especially in smaller body. No hint of yellow or orange in fresh specimen that I can see. Probably 5 inches tall when fresh.
Stains violet immediately. Soil. Old growth hemlock 3500ft
Strong sweet odor remarkable.
Maybe Lentinellus?
Very large clusters. 8-10cm Orange. Firm. Not staining. No odor or taste. Gelatinous interior stipe? Yellowish lower stipe when dried.
