CabinCove, beyond MM, mostly fungi.
Vaccinium arboreum []
Found these in thicket of poison ivy beyond Misty Mellow toward jeep road.
Tremella frondosa? []
In deep dark hemlock glade beyond Misty Mellow.
| | GEN | | jelly fungus, on rotten hardwood with Stereum |
| | CAP | | contorted mass of gelatinous folds, 40mm across, pale golden-brown |
| | SPORE | | print whitish, softly textured, colorless, ellip, 1 cell, often obtusely ptd at one end, 4-5x2.5-3um, sticking in irreg masses |
Spores are too small and should be smooth. Might have wrong species.
Crepidotus variabilis? []
In deep dark hemlock glade beyond Misty Mellow.
| | GEN | | shelf fungus, on rotten hardwood |
| | ST | | almost non-exist, v shaggy whitish-brownish |
| | CAP | | 25-30mm, wider than deep, min scurfy to shaggy at pt of att, lter in ctr, browner near marg, brownish pinkish overall tint, convex, thin, soft |

| | SPORE | | print copious yellowish cinnamon, lt brown, round, smooth, 1 cell, min knobbed, 4-5um, sticking in irreg masses |
Arora just doesn't give enough info about species in this genus to be sure. I'm going purely off of spore size.
Dacrymyces deliquescens? []
In deep dark hemlock glade beyond Misty Mellow.
| | GEN | | minute jelly fungus, on rotten hardwood log |
| | CAP | | 1-few mm, minutely wrinkled pastel salmon-pink, gelatinous, no hypothallus or anything else |
Supposed to have tuning-fork basidia
might have seen a few...
Myxomycotina? []

Nymphaea odorata []
