Growing terrestrially scattered in grass adjacent to woodland edge. In close proximity to Cottonwood, red oak, ash, Elm, and white oak.
Found by Debbie Klein on a twig, likely Quercus agrifolia.
In flowerbed with irises, but near a very large pin oak. Smells mildly cheesy-nutty-mushroomy.
Spores were photographed under a microscope by Chance Brueggeman (cbrueg). He observed mainly 4 spores per asci, some less, and very few with 5. He observed it was dextrinoid in Melzer's Reagent.
Very small, the picture shows it embedded in a large-leaved moss. Growing on a decaying log of deciduous wood.
