just_add_waterDescription
Please note photos where taken in dark conditions so the color is actually more grey than the photos shows. Found under dead branch. The pleurocystidia covered with amorphous crystals, spores size and shape, etc. all are a great match for H. singeri. Color shape and it's lack of stipe also make it a great match. Specimen collected for DNA analysis.

cheriecornmesserDescription
We managed to relocate some of the larger ones to a deeper pool and dug some of the mud put to enlarge this one. Some were dead already.
Update 10/30/22. Rain has refilled the creek. Hopefully things improve for the fish going forward.

pittshroomDescription
Pores blue slowly but within 30s, blue resolves to a brown/gray in stem (pic 3) after 10m. Larger caps were more tan than red; younger caps were fairly red and pores were much more vivid yellow. Doesn’t seem to exactly match bicolor or olivaceus; but leaving as pallescens because of the red streaking (almost shallow netting) and yellow margin.

pete_woodsDescription
This observation is for the yellowish amphipods, not the brown ones. The brown ones are included for comparison. These photos are of 2 individuals, which were found mixed in with a large population of brown ones. I don't see any obvious differences except for the color, so maybe they are all the same species.
Collected from a limestone spring.
