This same species was picked up a couple of weeks ago but not definitively identified. When I dig up the picture of that one I'll add it to the bottom. The surface cracking of this species and the j+ spores are significant early flags. The abundant gloeocystidia at first look recall Tubulicrinis, with their scattered but significant presence. While Ellis and Ellis only list two species, including this one, CNE runs to 9. Spore size and ornamentation help to nail ID, along with the clamps on the hyphae. Substrate was deciduous, probably Fagus.
