symbiiotica's Identifications

Dean made the collection of this. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/233651511

I found 1 population while trying to wash as stick in the water and then found 5 subsequent populations headed north along the shore bank. All appeared within 20 cm of Sphagnum but weren't fruiting directly on it. Dean and Justin found even more populations along the shoreline when I brought them over to look at them.

each of the Corn Lily leaves are flags of the first 5 populations

UVF 365 nm = red

2024.08.08 Microscopy -
attempted to find cause of UVF365nm = red
no obvious signs of chloroplasts, algae or cyanobacteria. discreet fibers appear to have increased fluorescence under the ZOE imager fluorescent scope (400x) using Excitation: 480/17 nm
Emission: 517/23 nm

using 365nm on Nikon TMS not able to see any differentiated structures with fluorescence.

dried tissue still very red under 365 nm
