When: 2007-09-08
Collection location: Diamond and Crater Lake, Douglas and Klamath Co., Oregon, USA [Click for map]
Who: Douglas Smith (douglas)
No herbarium specimen

Species Lists:
Species of the Oregon Cascades (35)

Notes: Ah, these guy were cute, I hadn’t seen them before. With the wrinkled stipes, I was wondering if these were a basidiomyte at first, like a weird Craterellus or something, where the cap is very inrolled. But I didn’t know what that was.

Then after bit I realized they looked like L. lubrica, and then thought, ah, Asci.

Funny little guy, grew in big clumps of a few hundred each. I guess they don’t grow in CA, but are common in Oregon.

I would collect them under Sitka spruce in the coastal zone near McKinleyville, CA. I’ve seen them from the Bay Area only once in twenty years.
