overwinter like this. I checked out MO and found the following similar observations at similar latitudes in NA in spring and even winter.

What I also noticed by going through the record is that these observations included similar observations in November and December and then almost complete lack of observations in these lattitudes for Jan and Feb, and sometimes March, first appearance in this state being April. I am guessing its because of snow cover.
Anyone know if this tougher darker form is to help L. epidendrum overwinter?
found during March in Michigan, there should be evidence of mature spore distribution.
for keeping my/our cavalierity in check. (Earnest thanks.)
I can return to site and puncture. Will also look for any more specimens in the area for variation in color. Thank you for all of the information and discussion.
