On cut end of old weeping willow log in shade. Not sure if green is lichen and peachy spongy bits are a fungi or what is going on exactly?
Very tiny, on damp rotting wood chip. One photo shows part of my fingernail for scale.

N. cf. pseudotrichia, I am not aware how many synnemataceous species of Nectria there are.
On bark of fallen Falcateria falcata, and erupting from bark. Up to 2.5mm tall.
Holomorphic - both asexual and sexual present.
KOH = Unchangin
UV = Synnema heads are purplish, the rest unreactive.

Smut found on florets of Carex eburnea near campsite.
Long, melanated, unbranched conidiophores; seemingly producing two types of conidia
Growing on Rosellinia or close, Quebec, Canada.
Conidia 4,6-5,6 x 2,1-2,6um.
In a Thuja/Betula/Tsuga forest the day after heavy rains. On Thuja twigs, roots, leaves, and a fallen trunk
Merismodes? Rectipilus? Woldmaria?
Growing directly from wood
Tiny - maybe 1mm
Will upload micro pics soon

Growing on Coprinus comatus that looks a lot like Entoloma abortivum aborted stage. Grassy lawn. Last picture a week later.

A weird one..
Microscopy showed a somewhat typical perithecial ascomycete, but the surface was composed of a thick mat of conidiophores, some of them crystalline
Spores were uniseptate, biguttulate, hyaline
Cap width is about 1.5cm

A couple growing out of a decomposing log
Substrate: dark of sappy downed tree, smell of pickles and yellow latex, same as others? 5-15 cm diam

Photomicrography and molecular data forthcoming
In gallery of Xyleborinus in Rapanea. Xyleborinus beetles carry two simultaneous primary ambrosia fungi: species of Raffaelea sensual stricto in the R. canadensis complex in their elytral mycangia, and species of Dryadomyces (closely related to D. sulphurea) in the gut. These conidiophores match those expected of Dryadomyces rather than the Raffaelea canadensis complex.
Thinking this may be the Bay Polypore in a specimen without the dark color.
Thinking that this is bay polypore based on the shape and color, and a specimen without the darker color.

Photos are a little rough. I have realized that this specimen was from foliage that overwintered under snowfall.

Growing on a lawn under Pinus strobus.
Growing under Pinus strobus. Taste mild.
Growing on the underside of a Phellinus s.l. (Fuscoporia?). Fairly dry already when collected.
Substrate: Dead branch attached to live Ilex mucronata
Habitat: Old growth (never cut) Picea rubens, Thuja occidentalis, Pinus strobus, Betula cordifolia, Acer rubrum forest. Understorey primarily of Ilex mucronata, Viburnum lantanoides, and Rhododendron groenlandicum, Rhododendron canadense in exposed areas.
Description: Coelomycete. Stromata erumpent, pustulate-hemisphaerical-short columnar, the upper layer supporting a botryose arrangement of pycnidia, ~500mu tall, 350-550mu wide. Stroma hyaline-light yellow, basally composed of textura intricata-porrecta 2.5-6.0mu wide, becoming textura globosa-prismatica just below the pycnidial layer, cells 8-17.9x3.7-8.1mu, with the outer layer of cells becoming pale yellow. Pycnidia black, globose when young, becoming cupulate at maturity, 100-115mu tall, 195-220mu wide, with a purple brown peridium of thick-walled textura globosa-angularis-prismatica readily turning green in KOH, 4.5-11.9x3.6-6.8mu, walls 0.8-1.8mu thick. Epihymenium of pycnidia encrusted with non-cellular, yellow debris readily dissolving in KOH. Conidiophores branched, septate. Conidiogenous cells, hyaline, cylindrical, phialidic, 8.5-64.4x1.4-2.4mu. Conidia hyaline, 0-1 septate, long cylindrical, curved to sigmoid, 50.4-60.0x2.4-3.0mu, lacking appendages or mucilage.

Not sure on the ID given how old and junked up this was, basing it on the inrolled margin and large pores.
