Why, hello, tiny friend. Long time, no see. Welcome back. Boy, it sure was nice to find mushrooms again, given our record-breaking dry winter. This Mycena sp. was growing on a very large, decaying douglas-fir trunk. I looked at numerous mycenoid pictures online with the off chance I could make a specific ID. No such luck. Most are nondescript brownish grey, but some mycenoids are gorgeous yellow, orange, reddish orange, and rose colored. I doubt I'll ever become proficient with mushrooms, especially considering I have zero desire to look at spore prints and haul out my scope. Plus, I worry about poisonous ones, and not knowing which are which, I have a general hands-off policy. Just as well, I end up leaving them just as I found them.
