Parasitized beetle larvae,
Tall, dark stroma sticking out of sand,
Growing trailside in Dunes
Spiky, brown top with white at base,
Seed shaped spores encased in thick gel inside,
On wood near redwood
Found and collected by Cameron Tavis.
Emerging from side dead conifer, possible Jeffrey pine.
Secotioid agaric with shape of squashed baseball. Cap slimy, orange-yellow with fibrillose reddish brown scales. Gills grayish brown, wrinkled, looking like meat. Stipe well-developed but squat; white with reddish brown scales. Thick partial veil, becoming separated in older specimens but cap margins still very close to stipe (not opening).
Odor woody. KOH+ pink.
Really unsure about this one - speculative ID. Particularly interesting how this had also taken over fern. Not slime mold, relatively firm. Rosette like form. Might go back to get this for sequencing. Primarily on alder (or birch?)
