Cortinarius c.f. rubellus-- about a dozen in a 3mx3m area, near spruce and salal. I collected two, recorded as LMRs-A and LMRs-B (companion observation)--these were then given the Mycoflora label MF33871 when labels became available. Spores and closeup of gills are from a third adjacent fruiting body, a 6-cm older one that had been trampled and which was not collected due to presence of mold (this observation).

MF33871: Cortinarius rubellus-- about a dozen in a 3mx3m area, near spruce and salal. I collected two, recorded as LMRs-A (4 cm; in moss and needle duff) and LMRs-B (21 mm with a 7-cm-long stipe, partially covered by a downed branch; in moss)--I had not yet received the Mycoflora labels. Spores and closeup of gills are from a third adjacent fruiting body, not collected (see companion observation).

MF33854: Cortinarius sp.; surrounded by Sitka spruce and a few redwood, and under salal; 67 mm wide; 8 cm stipe above the ground surface, another 8 cm below the surface; reddish KOH response on stipe and cap; no scent

avg L: 8.9 microns (8.4-10.0), avg width: 6.8 microns (6.2-7.9); N=32

Russula c.f. brunneola; the ones photographed are 3.5 and 8 cm wide; the smaller of the two was collected. Mild flavored; near Sitka spruce.
spore L: 6.8-7.8(8.2) microns
spore w: (5.7)5.9-6.7(7.0) microns
n=20
wart height averages 0.16 micron
Field photos from 6/29 and 6/30, collected 30 June 2018

50 mm tall; stipe width about 1 mm; dispersed group of about 15 over a 1m x1m area in moss under redwood; flexible: if you bend it to the ground, it pops right back up; this was the largest of the group; growth over a 3-week period was minor elongation of the branch tips

Individual combs were up to 4 mm long; taste is tangy and yeasty but not bitter; this was gone in about a week; it's completely effuse--no pileus present; margin is thin and white; pores are angular with dentate edges; growing on a Sitka spruce log
