warren_cardimona's Identifications

Found by @debk in snowmelt area in a conifer forest. @alan_rockefeller did microscopy, and determined spores measure
(9.1) 10 - 12.4 (13.7) × (3.5) 4.2 - 4.8 (5) µm
Q = (2.1) 2.3 - 2.9 (3.1) ; N = 15
Me = 11.3 × 4.5 µm ; Qe = 2.5

My friend @debk found these on a twig in the Tahoe National Forest at about 6500ft elevation. The first photo is from the day after it was found found; the second photo is different fruiting bodies on the same twig, about two weeks later and drier.

Each fruiting body is about 0.5mm across.

Each photo is a focus stack of about 60 images, taken with an extreme macro lens.
