Growing on burnt wood in chaparral. Ochre, hydnoid-resupinate fungus with a wrinkled edge.
The velar remnants and stipe texture remind me of a Pholiotina.
Spores 8.5-9.5 microns (some smaller, some up to 11 microns long).
Ochre brown in KOH. Germ pore present.
Cheilocystidia sinuous-cylindrical, some distinctly lageniform. 40 microns long.
Caulocystidia scarce, cylindrical, in clumps, arising from center of hypha or subterminal on swollen hyphae.
Clamps present fairly easy to find.
Pileipellius a hymeniform layer of round cells, scattered pileocystidia cylindrical, some clamped and septate.
Substrate: old Populus trichocarpa log.

Alder. Kept hair ice stick moist in boot room. Thin skin of Exidiopsis showed up 3 weeks later.
No more than 5mm. On moss and granite terrace wall. North West facing.

Update: Fruiting from a decaying coniferous log in a moist micro-climate of a steep, dry, seasonal streambed in mixed Pinus, Pseudostuga, and Abies forest.
8-spored ascii. Spores ellipsoid, smooth, hyline, eguttulate, and averaged 17.4 x 10.8 microns. All macro and micro features are a good match for C. vernalis

In a small stream, growing on saturated wood a few inches above water, around 1800ft elevation. Spores smooth, 20.1-21.3 x 9.2-10.3.
The largest apothecium is 15mm.
Ascospores measure in H2O
(17.1) 17.3 - 18.5 (18.8) × (11) 11.4 - 11.8 (12.4) µm
Q = (1.4) 1.5 - 1.6 ; N = 17
Me = 17.9 × 11.6 µm ; Qe = 1.5
Found under Corylus on twig of the same. Not many spores present, but averaged 13x7.5 microns.
Found by @leah_mycelia on still attached Pseudostuga twig (!!)
cf. Gills lighter than cap, stem slightly pubescent? On mossy ground.
Found these lively, tiny mushrooms on the bark, in the moss and lichen of our magnolia. They are 1/8th of an inch at best and most are far smaller.
