Growing on burnt stump in the 2021 Caldor fire burn scar, Eldorado NF
Large, hard fruit body with hundreds of tiny holes on exterior, dissimilar from pores. Internal flesh tough and leathery clearly layered with internal tissue pinkish and external white/yellow with a darker band of zonation. Exterior tissue pink/purpleish and tender when young, white/yellowish and becoming harder in age.
Smell of blue cheese, taste extremely bitter
Red KOH, better seen on young specimen 2nd to last photo
Interesting UV rxn seen in 4th to last photo
Couldn’t find spores under the scope, just hyphae from the interior and exterior tissue, seen in last 3 photos
Found and collected by Cameron Tavis.
Larger fruit body growing from soil, smaller one growing from Salix catkin. Found under Salix sp. by stream, Warner Mountains, Modoc NF
Funnel shaped and a pinkish spore deposit. Silvery tomentose concentric rings on pileus. Decurrent lamellae
Smell slightly sweet to farinaceous, like sweet bread

Brown pileus with a wavy margin. Lamellae white to cream colored, anastomosing, subdistant to distant, broadly attached to subdecurrent. Stipe short, fibrous, off-center
Smell indistinct
Growing on pine cone,possibly Knobcone pine.
Magellan's Peatmoss Sphagnum magellanicum is the reddish colored moss growing up the hillside.
I believe this is the same species as another single specimen that I found rather nearby 3 years ago.
Stumped and delighted. What are these CONFECTIONS? The largest fruitbodies were 2mm to 2.5mm wide.
Note that the upper surface of the pileus has a dingy quality with fine hairs on top, At first glance they appear not to be stipitate, but there is clearly a stipe on many fruit bodies.
