Stamnaria americana fruiting on rough horsetail (Equisetum hyemale var. affine). First brought to my attention by @erwin_pteridophilos based this observation: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/35283155

Upon revisiting, I found thousands of infected stems of E. hyemale around this small kettle pond. Several hundred stems with visible fruiting bodies.
