Found by @samzanita at the base of a blade of grass on the underside of a log. Same specimen as this observation https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/199743127
The specimen was collected by Nate Dube and will be examined by them under higher magnification.
It was actively raining that day hence the shiny wet surface of the specimen.

This is throwing me. Doesn't seem quite like Ramalina, Bryoria, or Alectoria, at lease based on photo comparisons. Growing in small tufts among the Trentepohlia on cypress branches. Actually Ramalina thrausta looks pretty close, but it's out of range...

An unusual find -- the two Didymium are growing atop some maturing Physarum. See the second photo for the insides of another of the Physarum fruiting bodies that was originally in front, and I opened it to see what it was.

Numerous black ascomata on a dead twig, about 300 microns in diameter. Sections show a hymenium partitioned by dark columns and numerous asymmetric hyaline spores that are unisepate and about 18-20 x 7-8 microns, eight per ascus. I did not see any clear-cut photobionts, so I am now thinking this is a non-lichenized ascomycete? In addition to this dominant finding, I'm also seeing some more elongated multiseptate spores or conidia. When I section the whitish dead wood layer looking for photobionts, I found chains and clumps of rounded 8-10 micron brown spores (?).

ericclark2003Beskrivning
I am a photographer and I saw this animal at the parking lot in Fort Funston in San Francisco yesterday. It was small, the body (without the tail) maybe six inches in length at most, it seemed that it might be a juvenile? It was hiding from ravens under the cars, the ravens were very interested in it. It ran under that wooden walkway that leads to the lookout platform on the cliff. I posted the few photos that I had managed to take of it on Facebook and someone commented with an article about a sighting of one of these in the Presidio in May 2022. iNaturalist was mentioned in the article - so I'm posting one of the pics of it here.

Possibly C. laeticolor, but MD provides so many alternatives that seem to be distinguishable only by the spores that I can't really be sure.
