ID Request - rural San Diego

Found these a day after a good rain in a seasonal creek bed that flows through our property. They were growing out of natural wood chips and sandy loam. We're at approx. 700' elevation.
The spore print is as white as snow.
I've attached the images inline below, but if it's easier for the fora mycelium to see attached images, please let me know! 
Thank you in advance and once again, a Happy New Year to all!

While I can't answer that per say, I can tell you they were growing through rotted wood debris but out of a substrate of sandy loam in a recently flooded (and now water-adjacent) creek bed.

Thank you for the ID and the kind wishes. From what I can see, it appears as if it is barely edible as well - at least they get to remain where they are then. Have a Happy New Year!
Cheers DF

My wife and I went walking through the same seasonal stream bed on our property today and she spotted these growing out of rotted wood. Biome includes palm, scrub oak, pine, ash, euc, and fig, as well as grasses. We're at approx. 700' elevation.
We had our first good rain a couple weeks ago, and it has been warming up to the high-60s to low-mid 70s during the day, and dropping into the mid-upper 30s at night.
The mushrooms themselves are only approx. 1 cm in height with caps no larger than .5cm. I did not pull any to collect a spore print, as I do not know whether these have just sprouted or if they are full size.




Thanks (again) in advance!
