Observations by maricel-patino

Three units. Brittle. Under hardwoods in shady forest. Examined specimen: cap 1.5 cm; stipe 3.6 cm and continuing on a 1.8 cm mycelium that packed soil around it. Although the soil was a bit moist, it hasn't rain for few weeks now. Caps were light in color. Gills decurrent forming some furrows on upper stipe.

Crust on Laurus nobilis, several decimeters in extent. Shady woods. The textured appearance is given by the presence of an ascomycete Nectria-like scattered and immersed. Gloeocystidia present and variously shaped. Spores are finely ornamented and had a strong reaction to Melzers.

Cap fibrose 2.2 cm; fibrose silky stipe 7 cm x 7mm at base. Under hardwoods. Shady woods. Solitary. Cystidia are present on edge of gill, side of gill and with two types on the stipe: with crystals and shape similar to the other two mentioned before and changing to a smooth clavate shape and without crystals, downwards on the stipe; all with clamps at base. Unable to have a good sight of the basidia which are 4-spored and are ~19.7-22.2 x 4.9-7.4 um. Earthy smell.

Found on a barkless hardwood stick, in a riparian area. It has a bulb at its base. The stick was brought home and another unit fruited. From a 6mm primordia (2nd day), it expanded fully in the night to a 1.65 cm tall cap and 2.8 cm stipe (3rd day). In the morning of the 4rd day it collapsed.

Three units. One is on a vine hollow small branch; some creamy mycelium strands are surrounding the stick's base. The other two were in the ground. Wisteria sp, Sambucus nigra and Ficus carica are present. The smell of cabbage is overwhelming! Inside the garden of an abandoned convent. Soil is pretty rich.

Fly was on a window panel. The fungus consists of white hyphae running in all directions with terminal capitate heads. Before sample was placed in the micro, there are tiny dark concentrations of spores, masses scattered around. Micro shows that these heads keep growing. There are two types of spores present which I have no idea about why.
