Official Pacific Valleys Actives and Thread, winter 2013-2014 1

[This thread will cover those of the major valleys between the Sierra Nevada/Cascade Ranges and the Coast Range, where we have so little of the moisture which make the PWN and Bay Area so friendly to our mushroom friends. If this is you, and you are finding actives, Please, join in. We will have this thread each year.]
I was out shopping again and I spotted these:

My, said I, it looks quite dark and cavernous in there.
I approached:

proceeding further, the seasoned explorer saw more forms of life appear:
At the far end of the cavern, a guardian blocked the way:

Knowing the answer to his riddle, I was allowed to pass, and emerged back into the light of the surface-world.
The very cheesy end.

I'm a little miffed though. I have a 3rd party app which gives me manual focus, better exposure and image correction options and depth of field control, but it kills my battery insanely fast.
I'm working on an external battery-pack/emergency-charger which would render that point moot, when/if I don't mind lugging around an extra 3lb.

I would like to think we can extend this thread to anybody valley-stranded between the sierra nevada/cascade and the coast ranges across the pacific states.
What say you, shroomery? [edit: too late, I did that biz anyway :P]
San Joaquin/Sacramento, Umpqua/Wilamette, etc.

Ps. cyanescens from last week


Ps. allenii pins from last week

To my surprise they matured nicely through the dry windy days


Lots more babies out there too!

Not at all. Most of them are underneath some very low bushes, so I guess they're somewhat protected from the sun/wind. And there is definitely no shortage of irrigation in this spot, it stays wet most of the time.
Only problem is it's a high traffic area, I was trying my best to rush my pictures and not look too long in one spot.

I find since I am taking only pictures that I'm less concerned, but I do still worry that business owners or city crews would try to destroy the colonies if they caught on. It's a shame, but I've seen one university trying to do so in the past, though that university would have to eliminate every last scrap of landscaping to ever be successful. The maintenance worker in that case was shoveling mulch and mushrooms into yard bags like mad, seemingly unaware that the many thousands of pounds of contiguous mulch adjacent would just take up the slack.

For me it's about the hunt, and despite my low level of skill, the photography.
I do eat some of the good edible species I hunt, but even then, it's mostly about getting out with my camera.

great finds you guys! those are huge fruits, truly beautiful. I am so psyched to go hunting, i have been hunting for 7 years and have found little but this rain is giving me a lot of hope despite the fact that all the spawn and butts i planted were replaced with rocks or didn't take due to our lack of moisture..
anyway, i'm up at 2:30 and want to hunt right now! hahaha

Last night it rained a little bit in the central valley, hoping to go searching for fungal friends today! Anyone see anything active this season in the area so far??

Yes, of course! Just none from the Central Valley. I'm speaking of central Fresno area by the way, and the San Joaquin River Valley trails. The only places I can see anything growing is on the side of the highways under eucalyptus patches and hidden in wood chip mulch throughout parks and neighborhoods, but I haven't found a single active! Only the usual suspects and some honey mushrooms growing rampant in an apartment complex. :/

I have a lot more confidence after this rain we've had. A couple days of light showers here and there will greatly increase my chances of finding something! I'm getting a camera for Christmas so hopefully I'll have a bunch of pics up by next month.

5. Do not make threads or posts discussing or reporting the weather. This includes complaining about the weather, asking if the current weather is "good for shrooms", or how long to wait after rain fall to go hunting. As a general rule of thumb, if it has rained within the last 1-10 days, and the temperatures are correct for the type of mushroom you're looking for, and the time of year is correct then it is very likely that the mushroom you are looking for is growing.

Nice photographs Ran-D.

You won't find any actives in areas like that, along the rivers. But I have found lots of variety, usually a bit later in the season after more rain, among the groves of oak trees that are along the rivers in the area. Even if most of the mushrooms are relatively common, I still have fun getting out there and finding a bunch of different mushrooms within an hour.
I went out around my area yesterday looking for actives and to see what's poppin' up, found a few indicator species and that was it. I didn't see a whole lot of mushrooms in general. Checked my patch that was fruiting last year for the first time, it's an irrigated area, nothing going on there yet but noticed that entire area has been loaded with a new layer of wood chips.
About to head out for a bit to check another area.

Well I found hundreds (maybe thousands) of untouched woodlovers. Cluster after cluster, it was unreal. Check out the massive set in this first picture, you could literally lay something down on top of this solid bed of caps.
 Sorry the pictures really suck. I didn't want to spend too much time paying attention to one type of mushroom, too many people around. I want this patch to continue untouched like this so they can spread those spores far and wide for everyone else to enjoy

Do allenii have hollow stems? I looked around and couldn't find anything on it, but I think I may have found my first patch. And Ran-D, I'd definitely be lying if I said I wasn't jelly.

If the stems are brittle and hollow you probably have a Psathyrella or something. The blue bruising should be pretty obvious if you found allenii or cyans. Anyway, just post some pictures and we can tell ya!

Nice man!....Some motivation & encouragement right there .
I've covered a decent amount of area in the past few days. Have only seen a few indicator species (like literally only a few of what I'm assuming are dried up Leratiomyces ceres, here and there), other than that everything still seems way dry in every area I've "hunted".
I have found lots of prime areas that I'll be scoping out through the season though.
.....and not to go on about the weather, but if we were to get a cold snap before the moisture gets here, would that pretty much put an end to everything?

Not really a place where I can take the time to do those shots. I didn't even pick one to be able to take a gill shot.
Other then that, I don't really understand what you just said.

I just gotta say you guys have me obsessed with making an actives find in the tri-valley. No luck yet, but I feel my spidey sense growing sharper with each lunchtime stroll through the woodchip landscaping.
North sides, shade, cover. Overzealous irrigation.

Bingo. Some pics here:

Took me a week of spending an hour or two a day, but seek and ye shall find, I guess.
It seems like a pretty good challenge to make a find here in the tri-valley. Not only does it have to be woodchipped, you're kind of wasting your time if it isn't also heavily shaded, irrigated, with wood chips that look a bit weathered but not so old that 2/3 of them have blown away.
