Volvopluteus gloiocephalus.

The 5th picture is probably Lactarius.

Those are pretty neat mushrooms, I don't think I've ever seen one before.

They're pretty common here and not bad to eat. Care should be given to not confuse them with Amanita species though.

I don't know, I would not eat a Lactarius species without properly identifying it as an edible species first. Additionally I have not found any edible Lactarius species in the Sacramento Valley. Volvopluteus gloiocephalus is edible.

Edit: Oops, just realized this was not the Sacramento ID request, but from Redwood city.

Yes redwood city, borderline menlo park. So thank you all for your help, it is much appreciated. After searching up Volvopluteus gloiocephalus they do look very similar. Better pics were taken a day or 2 after. The reason I was asking is cuz on the news i heard of the spreading of death caps & destroying angels, this area is next to a local kids park so i had to take action. A huge thanx to u all, n please, any and all info about this is greatly appreciated.

You can tell its not a deadly Amanita species like A. phalloides or A. ocreata by how the stem base is not bulbous beneath the volva, how they do not have an annulus (This can fall or wear off in Amanita species) and how they do not have white spores. The last one is the easiest way to tell them apart. Once you gain more experience you should be able to tell them apart in the field with relative ease.

These are the pics that I took a couple days after the first set. I hope this can help people get a more definitive id on these.

There is no doubt they are Volvopluteus gloicephalus. Like Byrain said, they are very common here, especially in grassy areas.


Deadly Amanitas are pretty common too though, they will be fruiting under the oak trees like that Lactarius species. They were out in mass when I was hunting a couple days ago.

Outstanding! Thank you Byrain and everyone else for your help in identifying these. After hearing about the mass sightings of deadly shrooms in the SF Bay Area, these being right next to a park was a lil unsettling. But im glad to know there is no major danger around these. Again ty so much, your help is deeply appreciated.

Just so you know handing and even tasting deadly mushrooms is perfectly safe, the one thing you do not want to do is eat them. That said the amount of amatoxins is highly variable and there have been cases of people eating deadly mushrooms without actually getting sick. Additionally species like Amanita ocreata are native to California and form healthy mycorrhizal relationships with oak trees which in turn provide habitat and food for numerous organisms, they are worth valuing for this reason.

No kidding? Well thank you for sharing that with me. Im still sumwhat new to the mycology thing, there is no useless information. I totally understand what you are saying and i will have a better appreciation for those species, and all others for that matter. Again, many thanks.
