These were found growing directly from dung by weiliiiiiii. Workman confirmed that these match P. castaneifolius and his microscopy composite is posted with his permission.

See also this thread.

We are now calling the collections which used to go by P. castaneifolius P. olivaceus.

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)
