Habitat: To generalize this post all of these specimens were found in a clear cut wooded area.i would say it was cut roughly over a year ago with hundreds of different varieties of fungus thriving under the fallen branches and broken bark i will just refer to them by numbers seeing that i am new to this and am just looking for clarification as to possible strains i may have.
Gills: #1 gills are maple to hazel brown close up pictures included for further details. there were hundreds some growing in in clusters connenected by ryzhome some growing alone but always near eachother i could of kept picking for hours had i had enough daylight.
Stem: Length maybe 1/4-2" tops. hollow stipe.inside color just a touch lighter than outside caramele to hazel color, seemed smooth but not slimy
Cap: dips in it some much wavier than others those being the more mature ones.
Spore print color: caremel to light brown spore print, that same of the cap color
Bruising: no bruising to be seen

Weak stipes (stems) + lack or bluing + caramel colored spore print = Not Psilocybin, possibly poisonous.
Alan (previous responder) is an expert mycologist in Northern California fungi, I will defer to his judgement.
I have a quick question for you; Has it been raining at all in Mendocino during last 5-7 days?

Damn. I should’ve spent more time. Looked like a Galerina to me but not marginata based on stem. What was the immediate tell?

My guess was Galerina as well. I frequently get Tubaria and Galerina mixed up, so dont feel too bad

That question can be answered for anywhere in the USA using this web page:
https://water.weather.gov/precip
You can look at rainfall in the past 24 hours, past week, past two weeks and past month. It looks like the last rain in that area was more than a week ago but less than two.

Galerina marginata is the only Galerina in the USA which can get that large, and it has a much more interesting stem texture/color, and the cap changes color differently when it dries out. Tubaria has an overall more watery/floppy look and feel, the cap turns much lighter in color quickly as it dries, and the stem lacks ornamentation and dark colors.
Habitat is another thing to look at, as Galerina is usually on well decayed wood which has plenty of moss on it, and likes undisturbed forrested areas. Tubaria prefers wood chips or fresher woody debris in disturbed areas, and is rarely found growing from mossy wood.
Taste is another thing to look at, Galerina will have a cucumber taste like Psilocybe while Tubaria will have little to no taste.
