Summary: yeah, mollis wasn’t a comfy fit.

it was the gelatinous coat when wet, as described in Arora, that led to me think that.

it showed slightly brown/yellow spores (poor sporedrop in this saturated specimen). I can scope it later, see what the spores look like. it had a slightly fruity smell, too.

Fun to watch Noah collect it on a living oak branch above our heads!

Summary: yea

Cap surface doesn’t look right for Crepidotus mollis, and if it was brown spored the gills would be brown by this stage of maturity.

Summary: Erin is right

With tufted gelatinous cap surface and yellowing gills, it could turn out to be a Hohenbuehelia.

Summary: spores

It would be good to get a spore print… The gills looked really pale, even the brownish one that Noah jumped up and grabbed was actually covered in some kind of myxomycete.
