Yes, you should not enter the woods without a tackle box. It is the way to save your smaller collections. Larger collections should go in a basket, or in paper bags that are stored in a lunch box in your backpack.
Here is the correct way to use a tackle box. Actually not so correct, that collection on the left was deposited into the herbarium in XAL, studied by experts and found to be a mixed collection of Psilocybe fagicola and P. neoxalapensis, and now I do not know which photos from that day are from which species. The right way to do it is to take pictures of each group of mushrooms, write the photo number on your camera on to a piece of paper, and put the paper in with the collections so later you know which mushrooms go with which photo.

That's not a tackle box, that's a mushroom collection box. Here's mine:

Now, THIS is a tackle box:

I'M SO RELIEVED.
-------------------- "Shrub, 30-90 cm. Leaves 2.5-) 4-9 cm, sessile or amplexicaul, broadly ovate to ovate-oblong, obtuse or rounded to subapiculate or subacute, when crushed not smelling of goats." "The initial quake was a 6.6 but fairly shallow. I felt it as a prolonged up and down vibration followed by a jolt forward and then to the left, like square dancing."

What if you fill your tackle box and then find something cooler you want to put in there? Do you toss something out?

Then I use another box, or put some of the stuff into little paper bags.

Get a bigger tackle box.

Nah, I like small ones that fit in my backpack. I have 5 of them. Unfortunately all are full at the moment....

I have some half-assed immediate habitat photos for you. I'll try to snap the lay of the land next time I'm out.
The first three of the P. salicinus were coming out of..... woodpecker holes? This is only a few feet into a relatively spacious, normally dry forest. Outside of the forest is a large area of fields on one side, on the other; elevation dropping fairly rapidly. This area is comparatively poor for mushrooms variety. Thin soil, widely spaced trees, the majority cedars. It gets dry here quick I find a lot of xerulas here. We had significant rain, and also a significant drop in temperature may be noteworthy.

The fourth was found at same time a few feet away, growing out of the small branch that intersects the fallen tree (see below)

The pins-to-harvest "salicinus" are the result of 3 days watering pins, found 24 hours after the original find, just a few feet away. They were last photographed and harvested at midnight.
The "meaty cap ones" are from a different area, about 10 KM away. Slightly lower elevation besides a small spring/stream and very close to an inland lake. This forest is the recipient of a large amount of springtime runoff from surrounding elevation, and has dense areas in it which makes the springtime snow melt slow from sun. Here it is always great for mushrooms variety, even when everywhere else is dry and slow.
This looks into the habitat. It grows on in the shady area of this log. Many mushrooms co-habitate this log, including various pluteus. This is a dense cluster of small trees which little light gets to the forest floor.


This is standing at the area of the find, looking outwards the other way

This mushroom has been flushing up occasionally since july, in very wet conditions, from the same log. I've posted it a before. Here is a gallery from July. I failed to capture the bluing well, it can be tricky if you are hasty. All that is saved from july is spore prints, and a few caps. These smell the same as the "salicinus". If you want to see the July flush, click on this link for a gallery.

Sorry to do this to you everyone, but I've found a few more. These ones are different, yet again.Brown, small, tougher than "salicinus", and more symmetrical than then "P. meaty". Much lighter caps than any found before. Still blued, same smell. New forest.
The caps seems to dry a more familiar greyish tone.





The thin one resembled my "P salicinus" in how fragile it is, and how it was grey upon drying. It had a different tactile sensation than the 3 other brown ones, they were more "rubbery". This one had the most obvious dark spot on the cap.


This morning they were much more blue.

Nice!
Go team Pluteus!
I find many of the similar looking ones have a distastefull smell, sort of like a bitter vegetable smell. I find the smell to be quite pleasant on the ones that turn, it's my "A-Ha!" feature. The bluing takes time and it's easy to over handle them into a brown.
