Field Notes

Description:

Found these lovely gems scattered all across the hoh rainforest in mid March (2016) All characteristics point to a mycenoid, location (rotting nurse fers) and coloring of cap suggests Atroalboides. Couldn't find much information about this particular, other than a man's remarks from uwgb.org being "very rare". However, I have never seen such an abundance of a particular mushroom species in one area, very cool. Any insite appreciated (I know one of the pics has a different species of mycenoid, couldn't resist)

Habitat:

Hoh Rainforest, very humid, caps appear to be darker in the shade however this distinct species I found growing seemingly in any light. Always on dead or decaying tree/plant matter
