Three ID's plus a surprise <3

Went on a little walk through the santa cruz mountains as I waited for my laundry to dry today. Only had 45 minutes to sneak around but I had a VERY interesting experience.
I first found a fort or hovel or something:

---------------------- SPECIES "A"
Found these in a gregarious cluster, they had already been uprooted either by an animal or a hunter. I say they were picked approximately 1 day ago. Found in thick forest on soft soil around green plants. Possible baby gymnopilus?

 -------------------------------------
Species "B"
Found at the base of a large redwood tree.


-------------------------------- Species "C"
Found in a large group of non-gregarious single-mushrooms in medium height wild grass outside of the woods. Didn't have the camera at this time so I brought one back with me to photograph. Possible inactive Pluteus?



-------------------------------------- most exciting part of my day:
BANANA SLUG!!


and big lizard!

Oh, and the interesting part was that an obvious crackhead or otherwise crazy homeless person found me and tried to sell me what he called an "albino earwig", then went on a huge rant about radioactivity and chem trails and all kinds of cooky stuff.

Good call. Mykoweb says the only macroscopic difference between them and cervinus is a slightly grayer cap - i looked at some pics of pouzarianus and im not seeing it. Conifer duff is a definite tell though.

That's an alligator lizard.

Yep, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Alligator_Lizard - Elgaria coerulea.
Curecat caught one the other day, it bit me and made a cool mark on my fingernail. She says they can draw blood.
