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.)
Trogia crispa []
| | GEN | | tiny shelf, on birch stick |
| | CAP | | ~10mm wide, semicircular, delicate and soft, v thin, tan shaggy hairy above, fertile surface whitish broad shallow veins |
