Lichenomphalia umbellifera
very small light tan mushroom growing from rotting log in Minnekhada Park. Notice how the gills are attached down the stem, which is hollow.
moist rotting log in the spring forest, Pacific northwest temperate rainforest.
Interesting notes about this fungus in Mushrooms of the Pacific Northwest by Trudell and Ammirati "Most lichens involve ascomycetes; only a handful of them involve basidiomycetes and L. umbellifera is one of those."
