Under conifers, Duglas fir dominant. Close to snow banks.
Lyophyllum species. Flesh stains slowly blackish. I suspect could be Lyophylum infumatum, that has been observed multiple times in this area, but it is new for me.
Microscopy hasn't been helpful, because the spores are immature.
I found 1 spore that it was sub-rhomboidal and of the proper size (pic 4) . Most are eliptical or roundish, really small.

In the same forest area with many of the smaller branched Phaeoclavulina that do not stain. See last posting.
