These images are the relatively small 640 pixel versions. The full ten megapixel size versions can be downloaded from http://mushroomobserver.org by copying the image url and changing /640/ to /orig/.

Tubaria furfuracea:
Amanita magniverrucata:
This species is supposed to only grow under pine and it was found under Oak, maybe it is something else.
The stem bases on these Mycena were slightly blue
Peziza praetervisa
Its much more purple in real life than this photo shows
Cortinarius
Agaricus albolutescens
We fried these up, they were good!

--------------------
Along a path I walk this night, clear to no other eyes than mine.
In faerie circles perchance I might, hope Elven honey bread to find.
Over stream and tangled root I leap, o'er bough and slumbering badger's keep.
Under hoary oak and willow I bound, to find such groves as can be found,
the sating mushrooms; spring's delight, as gifts from figures of the night.

Are you ok with it if I upload it to a folder in my files, which indicates pics are by others, in order to nominate this for POTM?
Some nice pictures you got there

We never did really settle this. What, in your mind, constitutes an exact location? An 1,100+ park, an intersection, a photograph, what?

That's a very nice set of pics, Alan! It's good to see that someone is still finding mushrooms  It's very slim pickings indeed around here with the recent frost close to the ground.

Nice foray. The Omphalotus shots are exceptionally nice.

I will confess something that should be quite obvious, CC. I love mushrooms, i.e. fungi. I really do. I am talking about a strong feeling, i.e. emotion, for them. I think they are beautiful. I even dream of them.

True, but Mushroom Observer gives the right to others to use photographs downloaded to the site, including Alan's.

These are the rest of the mushrooms that I found in December, 2008:
Pluteus salicinus, Huddart Park, Woodside, CA:
I found this mushroom while digging for another, much larger mushroom. It seemed like it just dropped out of the sky but it was probably growing on a twig on the ground.
Omphalotus olivascens:
Lactarius rubidus (a candy cap), Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park, Santa Cruz, CA:
Psilocybe cyanofriscosa, 01/01/09, Mountain View, CA:
Leratiomyces ceres:
Caulorhiza umbonata (redwood rooter)
Boletus eastwoodiae (tempus950 collection, huddart park, woodside, ca):
Bolbitius vittelinus
Hemimycena sp.
A very small saprophytic mushroom that I found inside the the bushes in the parking lot at the ********* library. The maximum cap diameter was about four millimeters.
Gymnopilus luteofolius
These are the first active mushrooms I found. After five years from searching I located them ten feet from my front door in the spring of 2006. The wet winter was not kind to the plant, it was huge and after it died way back the Gymnopilus appeared to eat the roots. The first fruit was obviously staining blue but was only 1.5 cm tall. Took 6 months to ID because I had to wait for it to fruit again. Even though I had written the wikipedia article on this species, I didn't know what it was and captain garden ID'd it. They continue to fruit about three times a year. When it fruits I put sawdust under the caps which turns orange with spores, then I bury the dust in the dirt. Every time the fruits are larger.
A couple days later:
A couple days later
The next day
After a few more days
I call this Conocybe filaris but some people call it Pholiotina rugosa. Those people are either extremely smart or crazy.
Apparently its not a good idea to eat every mushroom that shows up in your plants.
December 28, 2008. Psilocybe cyanofriscosa in Mountain View, CA:
Hydnellum sp.
sk00byd0 and I found these Tricholoma magnivelare today at Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park in Santa Cruz, CA. They smell really strongly of cinnamon. I have never found them before but I have smelled them at fungus fairs and have always been really suspicious of them.
I made two soups from them and they are really good!
They taste slightly mushroomy, and strongly of cinnamon and pine.
This is the Japanese style soup:
It is extremely easy to make and tasted amazingly good.
Ingredients:
Water (two cups per serving)
Salt
Matsutake (1/4th of a fresh mushroom for each serving)
Cilantro (a small handful for each serving)
Bring the water to a boil, salt until you can start to taste it, then added thinly sliced matsutake and boil them at a rolling boil for 2 minutes. Then take it off the heat and added chopped fresh cilantro and serve it immediately.
Its one of those clear Japanese soups, tasted strongly of cinnamon, somewhat of pine, and actually really good.
I also made a matsutake soup that has a whole bunch of cream and chicken broth other stuff in it, its pretty good but the simple one is ten times faster and tastes even better.
Conocybe filaris, deadly
Cortinarius
Ramaria botrytis
Ceratiomyxa fruticulosa
Mycena oregonensis
Coprinopsis ephemeroides
Gymnopilus spectabilis
