Seemingly associated with or decomposing dead material of Polytrichum juniperinum
Similar to Cordyceps tenuopes but has an orange stem rather than yellow
Maybe? Polytrichum beds in recent clearcut

UV
Found on underside of log in moist forest. Fruiting bodies: Synnemata: cylindric, attenuated, 2-3 mm long x 125-200 um diam., consisting of parallel multiseptate longitudinal hyphae 2.5-4.6, smooth, becoming wider and verrucose toward ends. Conidiophores: greenish white to pale green, 80-120 x 6.5-9.0 µm at base, forking from arched hyphae that are distinctly verrucose and prominently septate; terminating in a swollen vessicle 7.8-10.1 µm diam. Conidial head 33-50 µm diam. Metulae: broadly obovoid, 5.7-10.6 x 3.4-6.2 µm. Phialides: cylindrical to narrowly clavate, 6.5-9.0x2.1-2.5 µm. Conidia: cylindric to fusiform, 3.0-4.4 x 1.4-2.0 µm.
Maybe, I can't seem to find evidence of any insect either in the fungal mass or in the ground below it
Fungus covering a western yellowjacket. Found under a log.
Growing from under bark of cedar tree. Very small - specimen in closeup pic #5 measure 8mm x 5 mm. Possibly similar to Cordyceps spp?
Smelled to me like watermelon rind. Growing plentifully in restoration wood chips.
Really pretty gills. Bad pictures, started getting hungry and shaky.
