Summary: About those great eyes…

Yeah, well, it was the Hygrocybe that I saw and I didn’t notice the Clavaria until I was setting up a shot of the Hygrocybe with my camera. But thanks!

Summary: I like!

That little Clavaria is a kick. You must have great eyes to have seen such a tiny but beautiful specimen. I also agree with you that this is not an Alloclavaria purpurea (name changed since Aurora), unless it was found in extremely sandy soil conditions, which it doesn’t appear to be.

Summary: .

Good call, Nathan. It was confusing to see a little Hygrocybe labeled Clavaria!
The pretty rose-colored strap fungus was not obvious in the small photo.

I have never seen rosea before, but purpurascens is often clustered and pointed at the tip. Here is an image of purpurascens from CO, a few years back, that I just posted on MO…

Great sighting, Deb!

Summary: Observation for the Hygrocybe as well?

You should put one in. Note that you can select ‘Reuse Image’ rather than ‘Add Image’ after you create the observation to avoid uploading the image multiple times. This will also cause the image to list both names in the title.
