It looks a bit like Hirticlavula elegans, but the stipe is darker and the basidiomata have a bluish and darker color went it is mature. The sterigmata do not seem to be as thin and long as H. elegants and the hairs on the stipe do not seem to be septate. The specimens were found growing on the underside of decaying bark and also growing on a dead leaf. The basidiomata is about 1mm long maximum

NAMA foray 18; appeared to be parasitized by something — at drop off, someone checked under a microscope and said it was a water mold. It was the same yellow-orange of other examples nearby under the soil line.
