Found in a small clump, multiple clumps in the area. Thought it was a Black trumpet at first, but texture on the underside and time of year threw me off.
On elk dung. Spores 14.3-16.2x 7.4-8.3, asci roughly 95-100 x 17-20
Flesh strongly amyloid. Pores 3 - 4 per mm. Spores 5 - 6.3 x 2 - 2.5 um. Growing on a conifer log. Although the name implies it, J. Ginns from Polypores of British Columbia does not mention that this grows on charred wood.
Coast live oak leaf litter. The oaks here burned and came back but don't have much litter. There's also a ton of invasive grass here.
Found growing in shady, moist shelf above a flowing creek. I think it was growing straight from the soil but unsure. Growing just to the left was a larger cup fungus and I’m not sure if these are the same species.
