LateralUndertow's 2012 Finds and Identification Thread (Morels, 6/8)

Hey guys! This being my second full year of mushroom hunting I figured I would start my own thread and continually update it as the year progresses. I have many forays planned this Spring and Summer and many locations too, including the Pacific Northwest, if not only for a few days, California and rural parts of Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland and New Jersey. Forays are also planned for Manhattan and the outer lying boroughs as well!
So to start my thread I figured I would take a walk around my neighborhood after a night of thunderstorms and constant rain, which was extremely heavy at times.
Generally going to post my pictures first and ID them as a group or try to make suggestions myself using my purchased guidebooks and field identification books.
Pictures from today, 5/25 are printing now, as of 9:15 EST. Couldnt take habitat pictures as if was raining a bit and my camera phone doesnt like water.
Local Variation:
1.

2. These I found to look like p. Cinctulus/Subbalteas. Maybe a look-alike (again)

3.
4. These were growing in woodchips, in a very well kept lawn, gregariously. I mean there had to be about 3-4 hundred of these bad boys.

Alright, first photo dump complete! Thanks in advance for all your help with identification and learning this awesome hobby! Going to post spore prints as soon as they look nice and complete!

Update from a quick little stroll: Found a rather large, single stinkhorn protruding from a neighbors garden, really cool, fresh specimen.

Also spotted what look like P. semilanceata look-alikes. Can anyone ID?

Yup, the ones that you said look like liberty caps are Conocybe. You can tell from the conical cap and orange/rusty gills.

Get ready for grey skies and rain

To forgive, learn, share and express. This is the only thing a man such as myself can ask for.

In the San Fransisco area today, came across a few agarics a fairy ring of mushrooms and what I believe to be a patch of P. cinctulus. Any ID help is appreciated. Pics to follow as well as spore prints. While preparing caps for printing my fingers were COVERED in black spores. I have found P. foenescii before and believed they were P. cinctulus, after handling these specimens I believe they are different.
Habitat:

1.



Haul:




2. Fairy Ring

Those are Psathyrella close to P. conopilus, recently moved into Parasola.
If you need a microscope you can go to 2169 mission, they have scopes there you can use 24/7.
Also there are some oyster mushrooms growing there that really need to be picked and eaten.

They dont seem to be good eats as they are quite small and a few smaller ones are already dry from the lack of rain.
