WGWI west, fungi and flowers.
Just wandered up Table Mt trail a ways, then cut down via a nice side-trail to creek, then up creek till tired of struggling with underbrush. Many nice Mycena, Xeromphalina and Lichenomphalia.
Mycena fuliginella []
| | GEN | | small mycena, gregarious on rotting conifer logs, quite common |
| | ST | | smooth, 5-60x1mm or so, fragile, exudes clear liquid at base when squeezed |
| | CAP | | ~15mm wide, conical, delicate, smooth, shiny or at least moist, brown, translucent striate, fading a bit in center or darkening around margin or both |
| | GILL | | brownish, v sl decur |
I've seen this quite a lot, and I've been avoiding studying it, but since it's so darned common, I figured I'd finally make an exception for it. It keys readily if the water in the stem is considered "exuding juice". (Used SVIMS key for fungi of Pac NW.)
Merulius []

| | CAP | | ~10mm wide, semicircular, delicate and soft, v thin, tan shaggy hairy above, fertile surface whitish broad shallow veins |
