Stipe fibrils easily wash off and are removed with handling . It's not H capnoides or fasiculare so I just guessed the more likely Hyphloma , there's only so many in the PNW.

pleased to be able to compliment the author of it! the effort is to be really commended.
was there ever a sticky thread of 'great links' for this forum? if so, this should be included, if not... a good place to start one. a subsection for id keys would be sweet too, just sayin

I think I may have found some Basidium. I know pretty much nothing about what I'm doing so please go easy on me.


I think these might be cell walls or something.

You can see the nucleus of these spores.


So I just cut a super small piece of the gill off and kept cutting it into smaller section until I could do it no more. I mounted(?) it in water and I noticed the spores were shooting off the gill when I put it under the scope, never realized they did that.
Anyway, I sent out sample to Joust, Alonso, and one other person Alan suggested yesterday. So for now you can look at my shitty microscopy. It's hard to see anything other than spore without stain I think.

Looks like a mixture of basidia and basidioles in the first two photos. Nice! A lot of the "nuclei" you are seeing may be oil droplets.

I didn't use any oil, I just put a small water droplet under the coverslip.

The spores have oil droplets inside them naturally. Not sure whether they are actually "oil", but that is what they are called.

Those big blogs may be nuclei though like you said. I am unsure.

Is it normal for the Basidium to eject spore when you put water on the gills? It was really cool looking, I wish I had gotten a video of it, it looked kinda like mini-fireworks.

No, I have never see basidia eject spores.
The spores look about the right shape for P. silvatia, P. pelliculosa has longer spores and P. semiinconspicua has wider spores.

I've noticed that if I crush the sample under the coverslip I can see things much better. cystidia maybe 



The basidium look like they all have two sterigma

I'll try to get the micrometer and piximetre setup so I can start measuring stuff.

The cystidia maybe are basidia and basidioles. I see both two and 4 spored basidia in your last photo.

These were the photos I took of this species when I first found them. I knew they were strange and interesting, luckily I showed MJK and he assured me that we needed to document them and have them looked at.
They look like a different species in every pic.
