Multiple heard, one seen.

On Los Coyotes tribal land - $10 fee to hike. I heard a few individuals about 3.5mi up the trail, above 6000ft in elevation, in at least two different spots. There were 3 calling where I photographed this individual. I believe I also heard one further down the trail, a little above the intersection between Sukat and Hot Springs Mountain Rd, still above 6000ft. All seemed to be calling from the pine needle/leaf litter on the ground.
Mixed coniferous forest with incense-cedar and Coulter's, Jeffrey's, and Sugar Pine based on nearby iNat observations.

Sunny, high 40s/low 50s, windy.

Description

Plant collected by California State Parks (Colorado Desert District) botany staff.

I've really been struggling with these annual Juncus species, but it appears to narrow down to J. luciensis based upon the generally 1 flower per stem (sometimes 2), 2 bractlets (separating it from J. uncialis), light green fruit and plant body, dark perianth and leaf tips, and what appear to be striate immature seeds (separating it from J. bryoides). It also does not look to be J. kelloggii, J. triformis, or J. tiehmii. Co-occurred with J. bufonius.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Description

High elevation chaparral and mixed forest, Pseudotsuga macrocarpa, Pinus ponderosa, Quercus chrysolepis, Hesperoyucca whipplei.
Growing on leaves and twigs submerged underwater ~4 in deep in mildly turbulent stream from snowmelt runoff. Area had been covered in snow two weeks previously, but it was absent at the time of the observation, with last traces visible in between peaks at the highest elevation.

Most caps clearly developing and expanding underwater; others starting above water out of saturated margins of the stream. “Aquatic” caps bursting through layer of algae on surface of the water, but no algae on the underwater substrate.

Underwater caps alabaster at button stages, expanding to brown with white cracked pattern. Above-water caps more dome-shaped, velvety, zonate. Both hygrophanous. Gill margins white; consistent feature.
Stipe lacking annulus, extraordinary flexible for Psathyrella. Rigid inner layer (revealed by microscopy to be a dark conglutination) and a squishy, plastic-bag-like outer layer (consisting of lighter hyphae in pyramidal ridges).

Spores deposit purple black.
Spores cigar brown. KOH+ fuscous. With apical pores. [11.8] 12.25-13.18 [13.9] x [6.2] 6.62-7.2 7[7.8] μm
Q [1.71] 1.74-1.89[2]

Spores measured from spore print deposited from mushroom cap that developed underwater; evidence for this is the presence of diatoms in the cross section of this mushroom.

On this same cross section are spores that appear to have germinated on the gills.
