Beautiful swirly patterns in a well decayed oak log (probably Quercus velutina judging by the tiny amount of bark that I could see). The green staining is caused by a fungus in the genus Chlorociboria.

I did not recognize this one in the field until studying the exsiccata months later. It was found in a stage between anamorphic and teleomorphic. Perithecia are imbedded in a soft, white context, globose and very papillate, all of which are sterile.

Spores:
(5)5.7-7(7.3)x(3.3)3.5-3.9(4)um
Q=(1.4)1.5-1.87(1.9);N=30
Me=6.2x3.7um;Qe=1.7
Ellipsoid, smooth, amyloid.
Print: White.
Basida: Clavate 4-sterigmate, clamped.
Hymenial cystidia: Not found.
Pileipellis: An epitheium of chained spherical cells.
Clamp connections: Found in all tissues
Ecology: Growing terrestrial through moss under spruce.

blue corticioid/crusty/lichenous looking thing covering ground at base of white pine tree. seemed odd because I have never seen a corticioid fungus on bare duff ground— they are usually on logs/rocks/something more contiguous

hello yes bad at posting things but i would like more perspectives on this one semi quickly for reasons

teleo and anamorph? on unidentified xylariaceous thing erumpent from a smallish downed aspen in a bog
