Similar to Microglossum viride, but I am told it is an undescribed species.
@sigridjakob and @malacothrix have specimens for sequencing
Scale photo from my friend @bwelko. After I found the first one, we cleared out some leaves and found many more.

Found by my friend @graysquirrel. Thanks Krissa!
Second photo is a fruiting body from another log in the same location. I'd put that log in a moist chamber after collecting it in the woods.

Cortex C+ orange, K+ yellow, CK+ yellowish
per tom_carlberg:
1) Leconora phryganitis: cortex should be P-, K+Y, KC+, R-O, C+O
or
2) Cladidium bolanderi: cortex CK+Y, C-
seems to be #1, as C was definitely +

This deep water sea star was found in the gut of a rockfish! Observation by Eric Austin Yee, who was cleaning a boat belonging to J&M Sportfishing. This species is found 150-1000’ deep according to Smithsonian echinoderm researcher Chris Mah, who stayed up late helping me with this ID. 🙏 Unfortunately the sea star was thrown overboard in 100’ water after its photo op.

And yes, it looks like a Cheez-it.

On Pertusaria sp. (TBD) on scrub oak bark. Appearing black but actually dark brown overall. Capitulum 0.25mm wide by 0.18mm tall. All parts K+? (second to last photo). Some violet reddish color but not intense, maybe pigments bleeding? [EDIT: confirmed K- (last photo)]. Stalk disintegrates in K (photos). Stalk prosoplectenchymatous, 0.29mm. Ascus cylindrical, ~39-45x6µm. Spores dark brown, subglobose, ~6.5x5.5µm.

Still need to work this lichen out. At first I thought it was Hypogymnia, but the thallus isn't really hollow. Abundant soredia on the lower surface of the tips.
K, definitely stumped here. Soredia on the lower surface of the tips might suggest something like Physcia or Heterodermia, but I'm not seeing great matches in either of those genera. Clearly on bark. pale lower surface, rolled thallus lobes, no apparent rhizines or cilia.

Echinodontium ballouii wasn't seen for 100 years until Larry Millman found it in an Atlantic White Cedar swamp. Larry took me to the site, (which I can't say where it is) and we found about a dozen of these again 4 years after the first visit.

This observation is part of a long-term project examining plankton biodiversity in the nearshore waters around the Hakai Institute's Quadra Island ecological observatory. A COI DNA sequence from the organism has been deposited in the Barcode of Life Data System (BOLD). Photo license and credit belong to the Hakai Institute.

Found parasitizing Upogebia pugettensis. I assume the larger one is female and the smaller a male of the same species.

Extremely small 1mm squamules growing on soil that was probably mostly degraded "baked" volcanic rock. Seems like they were not fully attached to the substrate so I'm going with Placidium over Acarospora schleicheri, and leaning toward P. squamulosum, though I don't think there's enough info here to go through Brodo's Placidium key.

Chirping Giant Pill Millipede (Sphaeromimus musicus) is restricted to semi-humid habitats, such as gallery forests, of southwestern Madagascar. It can exhibit an unique black pattern on orange-reddish basic colour.

Swarming behaviour of the world’s largest giant pill-millipede species.
Probably juvenile individuals.
Geotagging only approximative.
Identification after : Wesener, Schütte; Madagascar Conservation and Development, Vol.5(2), Dec 2010.
This species seems to be the only species in the order Sphaerotheriida with swarming behaviour.
Madagascar, Andasibe-Mantadia National Park, October 28, 2005

I have finally seen this confusing millipede and am no closer to figuring out what to call it. I strongly suspect it's the same as https://www.flickr.com/photos/squamatologist/4165070380, though.

Female, broadcast spawning; several males releasing sperm nearby (separate observation). I am especially curious why some, but not all, of the eggs appear to be stuck together with a halo of tiny spines on them; if you know the answer, please let me know!
This is earlier in the year than expected: "In California, spawning occurs from March to May" (O’Clair and O’Clair 1998, Cowles 2005).
