I found these under tan oak on the sonoma coast. These were the only ones I saw. Cantharellus californicus

I found these chanterelles under Douglas Fir, also on the sonoma coast. There were hundreds, but I just selected a few. Cantharellus formosus

The black trumpets, Craterellus cornucopioides, are awesome because they hardly require any processing. Really tough to see, though.

I can speak about Alans spot without having seen it personally or knowing where it is...just from experience
that spot can indeed be wild, not planted. It's likely watered more than twice a week, which is more than most places that are irrigated. It is the second flush in an expanded area from the first flush a few weeks (month) ago, which is normal.
but the key in Alans spot is that it's heavily watered. Very rare to be in that condition this week with all the dry air. ( I mean, last Saturday it was 60 mph winds with 5% humidity - that's like a hair drier) That, in combination with all the other factors, makes it a very rare spot indeed
I'm guessing this is at least half right. I'm also guessing there's some green grass park, maybe golf course, just on the other side of the bush...I could further guess that Alan figured out how to beat the irrigation controls and turn the sprinklers on...haha
cause most places like that that are watered, it's maybe once a week, for an hour
my prediction...there will be a third flush, in a few weeks, but much smaller

p cyanesens iridescens
iridescence
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iridescence
from this past week, in more 'normal' spots that are not watered, but shady all day, small flush.
sometimes, the combination of drying out due to dry air, re-hydrating in the morning due to dew, then like that for a couple of days, produces a 'skin, a 'sheen' on the caps that looks like a multicolored butterfly if you turn it around against the light...It doesn't happen very often and you can only seen it if you hold it and move it around against the light...Maybe a video someday, but here's the photos closest to that, from this past Sunday
 
so just so you know, some psychedelic species of mushrooms really do have the ability to show a literal multicolored light show, under certain conditions....the physical light show, on top of the one in your trip
psilocybe cyanescens, san francisco, november 29, 2009
PS, they're predicting major changes in the weather next week, for the San Francisco Bay Area...there's still some time in this season...yep

That was not necessary this time however I am ready to reprogram the sprinklers if necessary.
