'tis the season for Macrolepiota (or at least it would be if we weren't in drought.) These guys are a choice edible, and pretty easy to ID. Look for a moveable, double-sided ring, 'snakeskin' patterning on the stipe, and white to pale pinkish spores.

HM.
What do we HAVE HERE. M. griseoviride is supposed to have a Melzer's reaction at the tip of the asci and the specimans from OH that we did micro on are NOT reacting to Melzer's regent
Gonna need to dig down this rabbit hole a little more

I had a meeting with a local herbarium today to discuss accessioning some fungi there and to look at the small fungal collection that was donated by a former professor's widow and like...
I thought it'd just be a personal collection.
I didn't expect dozens of holotype splits.

One of two American Chestnuts of appreciable size that I'm aware of in our parks system (there might be more.)
And by appreciable size I mean like... 10 inches diameter. It isn't big. But it looks healthy.... for now.
I'm going to cry when it starts showing obvious blight.

Is it a small Inocybe with a brownish cap that looks a right mess?
Probably Pseudosperma friable.
But in all seriousness, I should have figured this one out without sequencing WHOOPS.

Cleaning up photos for iNat obs sometimes is just 90% getting rid of blurry dragonfly photos.

The amount of humidity has been crazy here in NEO; at 8am absolutely everything in this field was covered in a sheet of dew, my shoes were completely soaked through and I never stepped in water.
