Description

ID a decent fit.. But I cannot find if the hairs on the underside are consistent with this genus/species. Whatever it is - it's Somewhat common on fallen logs. Olive green to yellow tones peeking through in aged specimens, along with micro and a similar sequenced obs has me thinking this genus.
