Summary: good call on that shroom base…

my eye picked out the fungal tissue, but Noah has an eye for good s—t.
god knows that there were plenty of moose dropping around, and looking again I can see where the fungal tissue kinda wraps around “digested and compressed plant matter.”

the dessicata for this one is “in the mail”, but must be by slow boat! I’ll post more info when it arrives.

thanks guys and gals.

BTW Christian, you’d have been right at home up there in your depicted “Caveman” photo…love your Battarea club!

Summary: that’s what I was thinking…

Summary: Could be Stropharia alcis

if it grows on moose droppings. The spores are smaller compared to semiglobata, and the cheilocystidia are a bit different too.
