ksandersonDescription
Still working this out. On coastal sand dune near Hudsonia tomentosa, Myrica pensylvanica and Ammophila.
Asci not amyloid. Looks like three oil drops in KOH. In Melzers its looks like the immature asci are reddish. Back smooth and same color as center. Crusty edge of cap, not sure if that makes it one of the eyelash groups? I thought it might have been Sphaerosporella brunnea, but the spores are ovals 16.5 x 5.3 um

Gymnopilus liquiritiae (?)- IMG-56
Caps - 2 1/8 - 3 1/4 cm wide, plane to shallowly depressed with wavy margins. Glabrous, sublubricous,
bright tawny-orange at disc becoming yellow at margins. Context yellowish. Margins not striate.
Gills - Adnate, very crowded, shallow. Straw yellow bruising darker when rubbed. Edges entire. Four
tiers of lamellulae.
Stipe - 4-6 cm long and 3-4 mm thick. Pale lemon yellow at apex becoming dingy ochre-yellow below.
Equal, curved, becoming 'lumpy' near base. Stuffed at first becoming hollow in age. Base with
some white tomentum and sparse rusty velar shards.
Odor - Mild.
Taste - Mildly bitter.
Spores - Rusty-orange, dextrinoid.
Habitat - Gregarious on a conifer stick at the Stimpson Family Preserve on Sept. 22, 2019.
Spores - Ellipsoid, thick-walled, verrucose; 8-10 x 5-6.1 microns. Q = 1,56.
Basidia - Clavate, 4-spored, 25-29 x 6-8.5 microns.
Cheilocystidia - Flexuous clavate at 20-29 x 7 microns and also filamentous capitate at 40 x 6 microns.
Pleurocystidia - Also filamentous - capitate. Rare.
Pileipellis - A cutis of thin radially parallel hyphae.
Pileal Trama - Also of parallel hyphae a bit wider than the pileipellis hyphae.

Gymnopilus "sp-IN03"
Going with this for now because there are other viable options.
DNA ITS
Gymnopilus flavidellus
Gymnopilus flavidellus
a member of Common Gilled Mushrooms and Allies Order Agaricales
Gymnopilus "sp-IN03" is Gymnopilus flavidellus. Confirmed by sequence we obtained (with colleague Allison Walker from Acadia University) from a Hesler-authenticated collection (see Hesler 1969, North American Species of Gymnopilus, Mycologia Memoir No. 3); all sequences of "sp-IN03" we've examined cluster with the sequence from this authenticated collection of G. flavidellus.
