I'm asking for an ID cause these are really pretty.

Those are cool, do you know the species? I

Not sure what they are, pretty sure I grabbed a couple so I could look at them later.

I'm assuming brown spores by cinnamon beige gills so my top suspect is:

Genus

Tubaria

Gills were more beige than cinnamon and spores were transparent under the scope. I wish I'd done a spore print but they shriveled up before I got home.

The shadow on the gills looks brown to me.

Also the general look of the gills (subdistant, beige slightly decurrent), combined with it being highly hygrophanous (based on the two-toned appearance cap photo and how you mentioned that it shriveled up really fast) makes me more confident in my suspect.

I'm curious what your suspects are.
