Pink wax cap with with stipe,
Growing near redwood/doug fir/sitka spruce,
UV,
seemed on Anemonoides raddeana
i dont remember any more how to distinguish corydalis spp, but the regularly broken app doesnt let me id just to species lvl right now. have to check at home
Growing on Claytonia caroliniana. Vouchered. JET230424_01
No bruising, ammonia greenish, koh dark orange
On some decaying leaf
Synchytrium aureum J. Schröt. sensu lato.
On Oxalis dillenii.
Creciendo sobre un tronco de sasanil (Cordia dentata)
Estipite con anillo
On swamp azalea. Hundreds lining the trail.
Interestingly, there are lots of both high and low bush blueberries present in the vaccinity and no galls were observed on them, leading me to think it is not E. vaccinii.
on Campanula alliariifolia
on Syringa vulgaris
About 1.5inch in diameter.

Soft pastel pink
I ripped my favorite pants for these photos
on a small twig from a conifer
Growing on leaf/flower debris from Magnolia macrophylla.
Last two photos is same specimens after two days. Fruiting bodies turn from purple to yellow in KOH.
Commonly found growing in indigenous forest areas between the leaf litter. Approximately 0.3cm tall with an off centred stipe and pileus pointed upwards.. Thin, black smooth sore and white cap.
Widely scattered.
Found by chance while scoping a Clavulinopsis sp. Abundant on its surface. The host fungus was growing among moss. Park.
P. atlantica nom. prov.
On what I believe may be Clavulinopsis corniculata. It looks like it is covered with perethecia. Wet cove forest. See link for more in regards to the host. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/178829156
I would guess that is a Galerina but before I haven’t seen anything similar to this.
This fungus is growing on the leaves of a Coast Live Oak. It deforms the leaves, yellowing the top and making the underside brown.
I tried to scrape the fungus off unsuccessfully. Photo 12 shows where I tried to scrape with my fingernail (top left).

Photos 13-17 were edited to have a Custom White Balance in Photoshop (Photoshop's preset).
This collection is the culmination of a nearly 10-year, on and off search for this taxon. Upon bringing it to the attention of a handful of Facebook groups in the form of a "wanted poster" back in September of 2022, the stalwart membership of the Gulf States Mycological Society came up with no less than three collections in rapid succession, made by three of its board members: Logan Wiedenfeld (President), Scott Johnson (Vice President), and Kerri McCabe. Scott would, in the summer of 2023, lead me to the very spot where this "Mary Poppins" collection you see before you -- "practically perfect in every way" -- was made. The GSMS' previous observations of the sp. can be found at https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?taxon_id=559277, with accompanying commentary on the GSMS members Facebook group.
Microscopy, molecular data, and before too long a proper publication on this sp., are all forthcoming. Stay tuned...
UPDATE: June 3 2024
Microscopy added. Mounts, in order of appearance: 10% KOH, Methylene Blue & Phloxine
