@Teresa How do I make a herbarium specimen? This is growing in pot of orchids. Not sure it's good for the orchards but the yellow fungus is growing in the same pot. Leucocoprinus birnbaumii (Plantpot Dapperling)

I do agree that it looks very similar to Psychopsis insolens (& I setup that taxon category for a different sighting just this morning). This sighting has subtle differences though, so I’d rather not Verify it to Species-level just in case an undescribed species becomes described or photos become available for another species within the Psychopsis genera😊

Image 1 appears to be a species of Nostoc, a cyanobacterim, often appear after recent rainfall.
Images 2 & 3 have the appearance of knobbly development of a fungal species.
These do not appear to be a myxomycete at this stage but I hope you will continue searching, many thanks.
