On bare ground, in a mixed, wet forest close to a marsh tiny whitish cup fungi. Growing scattered in two spots, about a dozen fruiting bodies in each spot.
Apothecia sessile, pulvinate, with smooth margin, 0.5-1mm in diameter. They look like grains of sand.
Asci operculate, 8-spored, H+, biseriate.
Ascospores ellipsoid, hyaline, with big round warts and multiguttulate.
Paraphyses filiform, hooked, sometimes with small guttules, septate.
Margin textura globulosa.
Observed again on June 25, July 2 and July 21 2024.

Growing on and around disintegrated stromata of Hypoxylon crocopeplum. Collection was originally retrieved 07/03/23 (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/170932615) Substrate was taken home to study throughout the year, these photos are from the second fruiting that occurred on 11/19/23. Amber pigments in KOH. Ascospores ellipsoid, biguttulate. Croziers +

tentative ID.
growing on the cut end of a wooden post, possibly Pinus strobus.
in the field, seeing that it had a shiny, silvery-green, granular crustose thallus and it was growing on old wood, i took it for Trapeliopsis flexuosa.
i now think i was wrong. the apothecia don't match those of Trapeliopsis flexuosa. my best guess at this point is a Micarea sp., which matches ecology, the thallus, and the small, marginless, white/light apothecia, such as those seen here: https://www.waysofenlichenment.net/lichens/Micarea%20prasina
Lendemer & Allen list Micarea prasina as present in NYC, along with 2 other Micarea sp.

Mixed hardwood/conifer forest in the Madeline Sone Wildlife Preserve
Growing on cut woody Toxicodendron diversilobum vine which was lying on the ground under a canopy of Quercus agrifolia
Tiny, black lumps growing on the exterior of vine, about 25% displaying a vertical, rectangular ascomata resembling compressed layers of carbon

Basidia 4-sterigmate, longitudinally 4-septate.
Hyphae without clamps.

Found two specimens ~1m apart in a large Rhododendron - one (pictured) gripping the underside of a branch and the other (not pictured) gripping the edge of a leaf. Specimens sent with João Araújo to NYBG

Truffle like fungus I found on top of the dirt under a thick layer of maple leaves. Thick outer skin with geometric and circular cavities filled with a whitish semi transparent gel. Red staining around insect bites. No pronounced odor. Collected and brought home. After a few days in the fridge I cut into it again and discovered blue green tones developing from the exterior in. Spherical spores with little warts on them.

On incense cedar.

Hysterothecia superficial, 0.7 x 0.3 mm. Ascospores pigmented yellowish brown, phragmosporous, 3-septate, 37-40 x 10-13 µm

I found it on many Salix branches in this area during this walk.
