Galerina subgenus Tubariopsis:
Single fruiting in moss beneath Western red cedar and Douglas fir.
Stem: heavily pruinose/frosted appearance.
Harvested specimen.
Removed a single gill and mounted in 3% KOH directly on a glass slide.
Cheilocystidia: Tibiiform, abundant along gill edge.
Basidia: 4 sterigmate.
Spores: relatively small, heavily roughened, thinner walled than semilanceata.
Dehydrating specimen for herbarium collection/genetic record.
My corresponding Mushroomobserver observation linked below-
Single fruiting body beneath Douglas fir and a young cottonwood. Deep pink spore print adorning upper stipe.
Cap: conical disc, striate margins.
Odor: metallic, sweet.
Harvested specimen.
Spore printed cap directly on a glass slide.
Spore print: Pink.
Mounted spore printed slide in 3% KOH.
MICROSCOPY:
Spores: distinctly angular, 5-6 sided. Many with long swooping tail on one side.
Dehydrated specimen and bagged for herbarium collection/genetic record.

Leratiomyces riparius/percevalii:
Fruiting in woody debris in woodland setting. Old weathered specimen.
Harvested specimen.
Spore printed cap directly on glass slide(slide#1).
Spore print: purple brown.
Removed single gill and mounted in 3% KOH on slide#2.
MICROSCOPY:
Cheilocystidia: long, cylindrical, needle/rod like. Not at all rounded.
Spores: long elliptical, large, thick walled, germ pore. Spores from slide#1 had a nearly sub rhomboid shape in a few sections analyzed.
Based on the slender cylindrical cheilocystidia, purplish spore print and spore information this fits well for Leratiomyces riparius. Stem bluing and cap discoloration are based on age/environmental factors.
Dehydrated specimen thoroughly and bagged for herbarium collection/genetic record.
My corresponding Mushroomobserver observation below-
Fruiting beneath Douglas fir, young grand fir and vine maple.
Stem: heavily pruinose.
Odor: slightly sweet.
Harvested 5 specimens.
Removed a single gill and mounted in 3% KOH on a glass slide.
MICROSCOPY:
Spores: very large, broadly ellipsoid to ovoid, germ pore, thick walled, slightly wrinkled.
Cheilocystidia: capitate, like compact Russian dolls. Small.

Dehydrated all specimens thoroughly and bagged for herbarium collection/genetic record.
Burn site Morchella. Controlled burn from Summer of 2020 above sand ridge trailhead. Dehydrated a halved fruiting body and bagged for herbarium collection for sequencing. Although this collection do have vertically arranged/ladder like pits, the pink cast/coloration and curved cap margin are not indicative of M. importuna. Plan to have sequencing performed in the future.
