found in copious amounts in poor soil, trailside on the edge of a seep
not sure whether these are Marasmiaceae or Omphalotaceae pending barcoding
Appears to be growing from needle litter or decayed wood, not the moss
seemingly a necrophilous bryophitic parasite on a moss commonly found on Acer macrophyllum, many fruit bodies were only growing from moss material while some were closer to the bark among necrotic bryophite tissue and a past mature fruitbody. Found on a downed big leaf maple branch, from visual gestalt features I'm familiar with in this context potentially Steccherinum or less likely young Gloiodon.
Extreme lack of moisture locally. This mushroom found in black muck type soil.
Devils club and fern understory of 125 year old forest.
Growing in transitional forest between redwood canyon and upland oak glade. Tan, fragile, slightly greasy mushrooms with thick white gills. Smells of chlorine.
Coprinellus 'PNW 04' growing completely submerged in flowing water on various small pieces of wood. I have no reason to think the water level here has recently risen, in a spring and summer long stream of snowmelt directly below a culvert in a considerable current, we haven't had any significant hot streak that would have raised the flow.
Overmature and mature clusters collected. Bases of the stipe seemed to have a "holdfast" adaptation at the base similar Vibrissea, see pictures. (I know they are in a different order, more of a visual metaphor)
Something like pubescentipes, maybe. could be same species as https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/194169052 - small species with notably pubescent stipe
Fruitbodies 2.5-6.5cm long. Stipe with a banded coloration. Found under Thuja plicata, Pseudotsuga.
UV negative
KOH - Did not test.
Likely Typhula species, but ID tenative as I cannot rule out there are other fungi whose sclerotia look like this. These were absolutely everywhere in the leaflitter on the sphagnum.
Crepidotoid blue Entoloma! Leptonia?

Toyon, scrub oak, mission manzanita, etc.

Very tiny, stained my hands inky black upon handling. The odorless inky liquid wouldn't rub off as if it were marker but soon completely disappeared after a few hours.
Growing on a small twig. Was not able to take a spore print. Not 100% on this ID and would love to hear any other suggestions.
Popping out from moss among young Doug firs
Saprophytic -Growing on mossy branch
On soil on a steep slope above a creek, redwood/alder/spruce mix. Mostly small spruce right here. Bleh, sorry about the dirty microscope -- mounted in KOH, inflated/rounded ends of cells in pileipellis.
Cluster of about two dozen of these mushrooms on old rotted wood.
Snoqualmie, WA growing on dead log
WA, USA Cascades Growing on old dead Hemlock wood
Becoming orange when pores were rubbed, on Madrone.
Need a little help distinguishing between M. sanguinolenta and M. californiensis.
Marginate gills, growing on the buriedroots of Madrone, but also just on the woody mucky soil near it.
Stipe minutely reddening when broken, becoming more red with time.
River bottoms in alder and maple, but on a noticeably larger log.
Growing in an open area on clay soil near Alnus.
Found at the base of a ginormous dead old growth nurse stump which I believed to be a Western Red Cedar (Thuja plicata) or a Western Hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla).
