Found by Shellie Moubray while we were looking for morels: 10 to 15 growing in damp soil and leaf litter; not seen elsewhere. Cap smooth, radially fibrillose, hygrophanous, with slight depression in center; heavily pigmented concolorus flesh in cap and gills turning black on drying, margin dark brown /black. Gills dull orange matching cap and forked with heavy bloom of white spores, blunt, attached to stem. Structures between and at base of gills highly figured.

Stem translucent dull red-orange brown quickly becoming dull, hollow, basal mycelium white. KOH on cap 4 hours later – greenish. No record of a specimen of this species in MycoPortal.

Description

Found under pine. Fresh specimens smell strongly of almonds (or like "Panama Jack suntan lotion"). Older specimens have a hint of bitter cucumber rind to their scent (but are still almondy).

Stipes are long and tapered. Punctate to fibrillose at apex, smooth with some scattered fibrils at the base. Stems stain a bit yellow with handling.

The features are like a combination of Hygrophorus agathosmus and Hygrophorus pustulatus, so I assumed it was in this Section?

Description

Growing from soil on a vertical bank amongst moss and appearing to grow from pine needles that have fallen and gotten caught on the vertical surface but also seems to be attached to the moss as well? Surfaces are matte to the touch, not sticky. Specimens are damp in the photos from rain today. Measurements of collected specimens (5) 7-15 x 5-11mm
On cross section, interior is composed of a clear gelatinous material.

Under magnification it is apparent that these fungi are attached to the moss and debris with what appears to be sticky hairs and appear to be hyphae under higher magnification. (Photos 11-13 and 19-20)

Asci and spores are hyaline and inamyloid. Asci 8 spored, cylindric, and measure 160-180μm x 10μm
Spores are globose with no ornamentation, cell wall ~1μm thick, interior of the spores appear granulated.
8-9 (10) x 8.2 (10) μm Q=1 N= 30 Me=8.2 x 8.2μm Qe= 1
Paraphyses are filiform.

I've been seeing this button-like fungus (clear to tan in color) growing on pine branches for a while now. Their bases come to tapered attachment points--similar to fungi within the Helotiales order (and some within the Dacrymycetales order). The color is more similar to something in the Auriculariales order, however. They didn't seem to change shape or grow beyond the stages photographed here in the span of the month I watched them. I've never seen them any other shape but this. The largest diameter fruiting body was slightly under 1cm.
