Herbarium specimen reported

Notes: Growing on dead branches, logs, stumps, in a coniferous forest. Found it in countless places today. Shorter-stemmed than what I was seeing a month ago. Odor the same—-slightly farinaceous. Stem always strong yellow.

Typical spores 9.5-10 × 6.5-7 microns.

Which of the numerous varieties of epipterygia this one is? Maybe we’ll find out later.
