Oh crap, just found the answer before I was done posting.
I'll let people guess what it is.

So what are they?, my guess would be some kind of gym, but your knowledge i'm sure is well beyond mine. Let us know!

its really close to a galerina, but it lacks the shroud of Galerina marginata. not sure exactly, i can tell you it is not active, and it is not a P. Cyan. if your looking for cyanescens look for a very similar color in the cap, but a WHITE stem (bruses blue) that is a little meatier. good luck

Tubaria species. furfuracea maybe, from the marginal viel remnants?
if so, we're in luck. good indicator species for cyans and seemed [at least last year] to appear just before the actives and many of the edibles.

Yes.

These were from the place that has one square kilometer of wood chips.
I also found some Agrocybe praecox and a Psathyrella there.

Damn, that's a lot of woodchips.
I went looking yesterday and found lots of Psathyrella on woodchips as well as some false chanterelles and Stropharia aurantiaca. Are these indicator species?
I also found lots of yellow-staining Agaricus - these seem to fruit year round in soil.

So this mushroom is a Tubaria furfuracea ?
Great picture and detail. Your thread rocks. Best of luck.

I will post some habitat shots. I believe every city has an area like this, the power company has to cut all the branches that get near the lines, chip them, and leave the chips somewhere to decompose. Its a real mix of different kinds of wood.
It is my goal this year to ID every mushroom that comes up there so brace yourself for a shitstorm of ID requests.
> I went looking yesterday and found lots of Psathyrella on woodchips as well as some false chanterelles and Stropharia aurantiaca. Are these indicator species?
David Arora told me that Stropharia aurantiaca is an indicator species for P. cyanescens. They fruit both before and after the psilocybes in the same habitat.
> I also found lots of yellow-staining Agaricus - these seem to fruit year round in soil.
A. xanthodermus.
> So this mushroom is a Tubaria furfuracea ?
For sure. The other Tubaria's aren't as common and lack veil remnants on the cap.
> Great picture and detail.
All I did is use the automatic mode on my canon a640, turned the flash off and macro on.

Indeed!
Other good indicators which show up in the wood chips a little before the cyans are Psathyrella gracilis and Stropharia aurantiaca..... All three species have begun to fruit in Marin!

the latter two are making thier appearance in that friscosa spot i took you to a week too late last season.
sadly, the wood by late afternoon has been still rather dry, though the soil beneath is damp enough. 'nother week or so i figure, before things get interesting, if the weather holds the way it is, though the fist active find could come any day now.

Yeah... after that dry spell, the water is just filtering right down through the wood, and into the soil. As you said, if the rain keep up like this, the chips will begin to stay damp, and that is the ticket!
Everyone is out checking their patches lately, so it won't be long now.

first bet will probably be the grassy patches, as they retain the moisture better. i'm going out today just to check no things. also hoping the lactarius are fruiting, as they don't need much rain.

You're going out to check no things?? I know what you mean, but it confused me for a second.
Which Lactarius?? I am looking forward to the Candy Caps!!! Recently I have found a lot of L. pubescens growing alongside Leccinum scabrum, both mycorrhizals of birch.

yes, i went out and checked on nothing...
L. rubrilacteus and L. deliciosus, which i still enjoy if they are still young. the last time i saw some was in San Jose almost a month ago, though they had been sitting a while and smelled of bad, bad things.
