Terrestrial, scattered on clay soil among dicot leaf litter in secondary wet montane forest.
Found by truffle dog Rye. Has a typical Hymenogaster aroma, cucumber-y to me. But I am uncertain on species, looks different than our usual finds of H. subalpinus.
Collected
Fairly deep in the soil, under a young fir. Aroma shares similarities with almond extract.
Exceptionally strong horseradish odor that convinced us we were about to find a white truffle. Likely a different Genea than the sharp odor one we’ve found all winter.
Strong aroma, similarly to horseradish and garlic. Found by truffle dog Rye. Spore photo at 40x.

Looked at some pieces under the microscope. Unfortunately I couldn't get very HQ pics, but I observed the following: 1-4 spores per asci, 3 being most common. Spores 20-40 µm in length, some subglobose but most ellipsoid. Yellow in color.
I can't remember exactly where I was told Lucky's buys their medicinal mushrooms but it was somewhere in the U.S., I think a grower in Arizona?

Thelephora penicillata? These are prolific in the area they're found. I've seen probably around 30 fruiting bodies this season.
Under ferns in mixed hard woods. Tilia, Fagus and Ostrya virginiana
Same species as this:

Taste is initially bitter then slightly spicy. Latex is creamy coloured and stains the gills a darker orange colour.
Growing under some beaked hazelnuts, with spruce, Tilia, Ostrya and Fagus in close proximity.
I think they're Inocybaceae. They'll be sequenced nonetheless! Growing terrestrially in mixed woods, closest to Fagus, Tilia and Ostrya
Revisiting today and thinking they're robust Inocybe subochracea. Awaiting DNA.
