The pale ochre to whitish underside has me puzzled. The closest match seems to be Stereum subtomentosum but the spores are far too small, averaging 2.5x3.5 microns. Habitat probably an aspen stick but conifer twigs (mostly spruce also in the area
), though the stick looks like a hardwood and still has thin bark
Under aspens with spruce and other conifers as well a shrubby species on boggy ground Hebeloma palustre seems to be a reasonable match
A very good match to Cortinarius olivaceopetasatus. The spores were 11.5-13.5 x 6-7.5 microns.Very slow pinkish reaction of cap and flesh to 40% KOH. Darker brown under uv
