Habitat: stump, maple but poss. oak.
Gills: yellow aging to burnt sienna
Stem: 9cm x 1cm, solid pale yellow inside not markedly bulbous at base
Cap: 7-8cm , deep yellow, texture dry, plano-convex,
Spore print color: orange yellow, raw sienna
Bruising: none evident
Other information: growing out of same stump as a clump of hypholoma sublaterium
about the 'microscopy' and i am wagging my fingers to put those lil quote things around that. my rig is a cheap kids microscope that my kids used when they were like 8... i had an epiphany of xmas past and dug it out of the basement so, its that with my phone cam balanced on the ocular, so i'm well aware of the crappiness of the pics. there's stuff on the lenses i can't get off, probably baked on by more than a decade of time. that said, i'm interested in what (if any) information can be gleaned from it, and trust me you won't be insulting me if you tell me 'no useful information from those bub, but nice try'.
what you can't see from the pics is that whilst they zoom about due to evap at the cover slip edges they kinda roll by sometimes and (one) can see the little warty projections as they come into focus. From my untrained eye they seem to be more on one end than the other, and somewhat almond shaped (knobbier at the widest part of the almond) (i think)
one other problem is that the occular is one of the multiplier types,with a handy plastic thread to turn so its not exactly at 1000x so expecting something to look ''so big'' at a precise mag won't help me here to guestimate size. or perhaps more importantly, you either. thanks for taking a look

Nice finds and nice job on the scope pics! Given you had only a kids scope and a phone lol, mad nice! I got fooled by some Pholiota today too...bastards! Lol
-------------------- I don't mind being ogled, ridiculed, made to feel minuscule. If you consider the source, it's kinda pitiful The only thing you really know about me is.....That's all you'll ever know!!!!

for the sake of argument i'll try to build a case against pholiota ( devil's advocate, i'm not entirely convinced)
1. link above - i'm only 100mi away and not in the same watershed, but still. we've had very little rain so any fruiting bodies are perhaps going to be a bit weak. Our indian summer is also 2 weeks late, we just had our first good frost/freeze.
unfortunately by the time i was able to photograph these, they'd dehydrated even more than how i found them (they were pretty pristine but dry, some slug attack but no maggots due to temps)
2. i swear to zeus those spores have knobs on em.
3. i've been religiously making prints of my local pholiota and these are def. much orangier and lighter than i've seen in sept and earlier before the frosts.
4. physically these were different, my photos don't bring out the Y shape of the gills to the stipe well enough, and they'd dehydrated as stated earlier, esp by the time i could take pics
against: 1. NaOH neg 2. seriously, i'm a noob.
