No distinct odor. Cap 2 - 3.8 cm wide, underside minutely hairy. Stalk 3 - 8 cm long x 3.5 - 7 mm wide. Paraphyses clavate, tips 4.8 - 7 µm wide. Asci with 8 spores, 255 - 318 x 17.5 - 20.5 µm. Spores uniguttulate, (19.1) 19.4 - 23 (24) x (11.7) 12.1 - 13.1 (13.6) µm, Q = (1.5) 1.6 - 1.78 (1.8), N = 30, Me = 20.9 x 12.7 µm, Qe = 1.7.

Helvella albella has smaller fruitbodies and the underside of the cap is close to glabrous in age.

Nolanea holoconiota(Entoloma holoconiotum):
Two mature fruiting bodies beneath Douglas fir and Western red cedar.
Stem: Pruinose/frosted.
Gills: coated in dense layer of pink spores.
Odor: none detected.
Harvested both specimens.
Removed a single gill from largest specimen and mounted in KOH on a glass slide.
MICROSCOPY:
Spores: angular, 5-6 sided. Medium sized.
Basidia: all basidia 4 sterigmate in this collection.
Dehydrated both specimens and bagged for herbarium collection/genetic record.

MICROSCOPY:
Cheilocystidia: abundant! Long, slender with rounded ball shaped apices.

Fruiting abundantly on two Douglas fir cones. Partially buried cone had fruiting bodies with longer stipes attached through covering needle duff.
Harvested an entire cone and part of the 2nd buried cone(left remainder to continue spreading spores on forest floor).
Removed a portion of cup and crush mounted in 3% KOH.
MICROSCOPY:
Spores: elliptical, smooth, very small.
Asci: 8 spored.
Paraphyses: very slender, whip like, filiform, aseptate(lacking septa). Slightly swollen tips.
Dehydrating collection attached to host/substrate for herbarium collection/genetic record.

Fruiting in soil/duff/needle litter/debris beneath Western red cedar and Douglas fir.
Unusually large/meaty fruiting bodies.
Stems/lower portion dark coco brown contrasting the all black caps.
Harvested 4 specimens.
Analayzed exterior with my Apexel macro lens attachment. NO SETAE=Geoglossum. Also not viscid.
Removed a portion of exterior tissue from multiple fertile cap points and crush mounted in Lugol’s solution and drop of 3% KOH.
MICROSCOPY:
Spores: 7 septate(with 8 sections). All analyzed are 7 septate and slightly curved.
Asci: 8 spored.
Paraphyses: long, thicker than any Geoglossaceae I’ve analyzed. Swollen/curved/curled tips. Extending longer than Asci.
All features match for Geoglossum umbratile.
Dehydrating specimens for herbarium collection/genetic record.
