Unusually close to shoreline
60m from road. Flat sandy area. Full sun.
Growing on a rocky outcrop, near an active quarry. I only saw this species in this one spot.

Insect? Fungus? Infection on bromus marginatus
2206
Rocky alpine tundra. Elevation 2,370 m. The last image shows the base of a leaf petiole.
Found near dolomite rock in flooded meadow.
In sandstone cliffs.
This may be a hybrid between M. gracillima and M. intertexta, both of which were found nearby. Leaves lanceolate to ovate-deltate, dull gray-green in color. Pinnae segments appeared flattened, with no false indusia or sporangia. Scales on abaxial surface of costa long lanceolate, intermediate between those of M. gracillima and M. intertexta. Abaxial surface of pinnae segments covered with branched hairs and threadlike scales.

?? Leaves seem odd, and plant is large
Fern gametophyte, Pellea andromedifolia and Pentagramma triangularis around. But the farina in the sporophyte makes it seem like a pentagramma?
This is the locality where L. C. Wheeler collected Myriopteris intertexta in 1934. UC Riverside Specimen number UCR143039. See https://ucjeps.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/new_detail.pl?UCR143039
No reproductive structures, and the thallus-only key seems to get microscopic pretty quick (air chambers?!). Still, this one was weird: kind of aquamarine, growing on very exposed soil in the dryest part of the chaparral, and those weird little Y-shaped channels at the ends of the leaves. Leaves were almost entirely sessile.
If I make some assumptions in the key, this might be R. glauca: whitish-green thallus, central groove narrows and disappears proximally. However, Doyle & Stottler say both like "slow-to-dry habitats," but I've only ever observed this in the shaded margins of chaparral. Wet patches in dry places.
Observed in Las Trampas Regional Wilderness, Contra Costa County, CA, USA. visible area ~3-4 cm.

"Smiley liverwort"
Revisit ID- growing in rock cracks as well as in patches on floor of Ponderosa forest
This one’s for you @ choess!
rust with smut on Arrhenatherum
This is Ustilago spegazzinii on Stipa pulchra. I guess inat does not recognize this name

This plant is being scooped out of the water in the rice terraces. Is it cultivated, or does it naturally occur?
Trackside by stream.
On heteromeles
Lake Helen, Lassen Volcanic Park, CA.
There was quite a lot of Elymus/Leymus along the creek here. I assume it was all one species, although some plants were decidedly bluer than others
Not sure. Rounded tips, and possibly oval sori. 800 m, beside Lindeman Lake, Chilliwack Provincial Park, BC, Canada.
Growing between boulders in riprap. Pier 2.
In rocky drainage below Helen's Dome, North Slope of Rincon Mountains
