Wild onions and huckleberries are beginning to bloom... Iris and forget-me-nots are beginning to take off. Lookin' like spring here on the coast!
Tons of beautiful Boletus zelleri about! Wish I had taken some time for photos.
Probably about every type of Agaricus out there lately, too many to count.
Both Lactarius rubidus and Lactarius camphoratus is relatively abundant right now... but not a single fragilis, even though I have found tons of them from the same areas...
Big difference in the aroma, I was only able to smell L. rubidus hours after crushing a bunch in my hands.. my hands smelt of maple by the time I got home.

Lots of different Amoeboid Mycetozoa on the move, feeding and producing fruiting bodies.. I have encountered 4 different species of Stemonitis in this past week alone.
-Looks like I have a pet Blob in my garden... Ive seen him a few times this past year.. keeps getting bigger  :um:

I was on the hunt for some specific mushrooms, so all these photos are a bit rushed.
So many skipped photo-ops... I wish I had more time in the day... when the camera comes out, time slips right on by.. so the camera stayed in the pack most of the day.

wicked stuff! Is that a Pholiota coming out of that pine cone? Whatever that blob is, it's freaking gross and needs to take a shower, and freshen up a bit.

Nice pics! I really enjoy the cool slime mold finds.

Did you find a name for mushroom on the pine cone? It reminds me of pholiota velaglutinosa.

Nope. Already figured that out :grin:
Likely Stemonitis fusca.
I also have a pic of whats likely Stemonitis axifera, posted it a few weeks ago, blurry as all hell though.
Been seeing lots of this stuff lately, at least 3, possibly 4 different species.
Stemonitis are Amoebozoa Mycetozoa, same with the Fuligo septica & Physarum polycephalum.

I see these slimes entirely different after learning that their distinguished from the Fungi Kingdom all together.
My old Audubon book still refers to them as fungi. lol..
I was flippin' through all my newer books and not finding these slimes in there at all...
- then it clicked.. "They're not mushrooms!"...

I referenced them and found they are single celled organisms with a simple intelligence... Now the P. polycephalum experiments make alot more sense. 
They are stuck somewhere in between Amoebas and Fungi, officially put in the Amoeboid Protozoa group.. really interesting stuff!
-Kinda makes me think of Jellyfish, divergent from Plankton.... makes me think of what these slime molds might have in mind for the future. . . . I keep picturing Land Jellys of the future :rofl:

From Wiki:
Quote:
It appears (based in proteomes) that the amoebozoa form a sister group to animals and fungi, diverging from this lineage after it had split from the other groups.

Right? :laugh:
Kinda made me Nervous... but its really interesting to observe...
I laid next to it and watched it move... reported to creep around 1-2 mm per hour...
-But I could see it moving more like 1 mm every 3-5 minutes.
I read reports of this slime moving several feet in a day.

I was thinking Amanita franchetii... Which I now just learned is the European variety...

Amanita augusta is the West Coast North American designation,  Mycorrhizal with Bishop Pines and Doug Fir... Sounds like a perfect habitat match!

Taxon Information sure is Shifty! :tongue:

So yeah, I think your right!
:grin:Good call~

I didn't find what I was looking for... looked like things had already been picked over pretty good from the weekenders...
-Disappointing, but took it as an opportunity to try a new mushroom.  :smile:

I have yet to ID that one... but it was one of the most abundant mushrooms on my hike that day.... probably encountered thousands of them.

They kinda look similar to Pholiota lubrica, pholiota velaglutinosa and Pholiota spumosa.. but not entirely.
Also look similar to Pholiota nameko in appearance, but not likely.

They were typically gregarious, spread out and grouped, but none tightly clustered. Growing from pine logs, cones and presumably buried debris in the pine duff.. None had and sign of scales on their caps, even when young they were shiny and smooth. Very Viscid at all stages. Stalk was minutely fibrillose, particularly the lower portion. Veil appeared to be evanescent. Gills where whitish young, maturing to a ochre-yellow color.

NOOOO.... it got a shower and that might be why its so big. lol :tongue:
