pink spored Fun video of spore release was also obtained Lycogala spp from encyclopedia of life: Conicum- oddly shaped, dark- scaled aethalia Confusum- also darker scaled aethalia, probably doesn't occur here, could be similar (little information) Exiguum- spore mass never pink Flavofuscum- very distinct, with odd gray phase and scaleless. It also has a buffier spore mass and smaller spores Fuscoviolaceum- spores tend to be just slightly larger and are more heavily reticulated. Cortex with irregularly shaped vesicles filled with yellow fluid (not observed). Apparently very rare. Terrestrial/Epidendrum (synonymous)- abundant, cosmopolitan sp, fits characters at different stages, imo. Spores same size as observation.
