Tiny Galerina growing with mosses on decaying Hesperocyparis sargentii wood. Pileus distinctly pointy-umbonate, ochre-brown to tan, darkest at umbo, striate towards margin, with whitish scurfy ornamentation.
Growing on mixed conifer leaf litter in riparian forest. Pileus light tan, ornamented in cinamon-brown dusty looking scales, colored like a snickerdoodle; often dimpled in the center and irregularly wavy at margins in typical omphalinoid fashion. Gills wavy, some shallowly crossveined, deeply decurrent. Stipe whitish at apex, fading to pinkish brown at the base.
Voucher collection 10549 has been sequenced. The ITS sequence indicates it is a unique species in the group of species centered around Entoloma rhombisporum . It was collected by my granddaughter Elodie Anderson from the forest on my property in Eureka California. It was solitary in the humus near coast redwood sitka spruce. Photos of the microscopic features of this species exist and the description of these features has been completed.

Gregarious on thick sedge debris over peat in wet meadow, under Carex and Betula glandulosa. Spores small, white, smooth, ellipsoid, inamyloid. Photos taken in dark conditions — see tackle box photo for mostly accurate color
D Miller says probably Cuphophyllus. Sending in for sequencing
