Collybia fuscopurpurea-group?

On rotting twigs, on ridge to right of far end of Misty Mellow.
GEN medium size mushroom on rotting hardwood stick, scattered
ST 30x4mm outside wood, about 25mm inside wood, hollow at v center, dk flesh esp near outside, surface rich ochre scurfy
CAP round, flat to concave, wavy marg, smooth, golden ochre-yellow at marg to rich deep golden brown in center, striate marg, to 40mm wide
GILL ochre, sl notched
Ah, I feel more confident about it this time around.

Marasmius epiphyllus?

On dead Rhododendron leaf near side of Misty Mellow spring.
GEN v delicate mushroom, scattered on dead leaves and dead tiny twigs
ST 25x0.3mm, perfectly erect and straight, lt brown ab to med brown at foot, smooth
CAP round, convex, 9mm wide, white outside to tan or lt brown inside, somewhat radially wrinkled, marg entire, flesh v thin, smooth, st v sl off-center
GILL adnate, dist, well br, white to sl brownish esp near st
SPORE print white?
No question of genus; and Arora places it firmly in the Marasmiellus candidus group, in which both M. epiphyllus and M. delectans seem plausible, but for which so little information is given I can hardly be confident of any choice.

Marasmius rotula

On rotting twig, on ridge to right of far end of Misty Mellow. Distinctive plicate white delicate round mushroom cap balancing atop a black shin filiform stem.

Merulius corium?

On rotting twig, across Misty Mellow spring.
GEN resupinate mushroom on dead hardwood twig, scattered to joining into long shelves, mostly under stick but sticking out shelf-like in long rows at margins
CAP white to cream-brownish, shelf-like, somewhat white-scurfy, up to 10mm or so wide but att along rather longer length of twig
PORE maze-like, white to lt brownish, up to 2mm long, 3-4 per mm, walls becoming erose or torn making it look almost tooth-like
Spore surface seems too white to match Arora's description of M. tremellosus; Lincoff suggests M. corium because it has smaller pores but gives no other information.
