This collection of Macrotyphula juncea (Macrotyphula sp. ‘IN01’ [Provisional]) was found in October. Gregarious. Hundreds growing in mixed woods along two sides of a trail. Up to 10cm tall and only 2-3mm wide. Stem base has white, thread-like rhizomorphs. Grows from leaf litter and woody debris on the forest floor. There are several former names/synonyms including Clavaria juncea, Clavariadelphus junceus, and Typhula juncea. Taxonomy of this fungus is still a little fuzzy; see link to MushroomExpert.Com below. And it is probably more complicated than Kuo describes, because there seems to be several mushrooms going under this name in North America. I counted ten (10!) different temporary codes for Macrotyphula collections at iNaturalist with the same morphology as the fungus featured here.
