Beautiful!!! It is even still hygrophanous! You should put it next to something familiar- like a coin, lighter, ruler, etc. We don't know how big your hand is.

Don't get yer panties in a wad. They were old. I threw them in the blender and dumped the water in the yard (::crosses fingers::). Howeeeeveeeer, I am going to check back in a week or so.
I was quite pleased, as I love finding mushrooms in unlikely spots out of season, and these were my first morel finds.

Soooooo yesterday I found two new patches. One small patch of Cyans as well as as a medium-large patch of Friscosas.
The Cyans were pretty typical. Woodchips, irrigation, a little sun-fried. They were mini due to the exposure of the patch.
The Friscosas however, were growing in a rather unusual place. The first one I picked rather hastily because I just didn't expect them there. I figured they were Tubaria or Stropharia riparia... But when i picked it, I immediately noticed the blue stipe. These were growing under THICK dead grass atop woodchips, under a pine tree. They were large, and the stipes are very twisted and long due to the tangle of dead grass they have to push through.
No habitat shots, though I should have some by next week.
First some Gymnopilus luteofolius.

Fatties.

Squiggly.

My favourite.

A rather dysfunctional family...

Split.

It's just like the story of the grasshopper and the octopus. All year long, the grasshopper kept burying acorns for winter, while the octopus mooched off his girlfriend and watched TV. But then the winter came, and the grasshopper died, and the octopus ate all his acorns. Also he got a race car. Is any of this getting through to you?

Actually, this is what I use them for.

I just cut the long one, so another two weeks or so and I should have a new photo that wasn't taken with a phone, to replace that one.
Mycoblitz tomorrow!!!! Who's going??

We had a bit of rain overnight here in the south bay and I have been reading up online and in my new copy of All That the Rain Promises so when I had a few hours to kill today the Intended and I went out to search for some fungus. This guy was first up:
 I hid in the bushes trying to stay quiet so as not to startle the joggers and opened the book. I was a little shocked to actually find what I was looking for and feel pretty OK with the ID. The area was littered with a number of Croogomphus vinicolors, called the Pine Spike in ATTRPAM. Also there in the duff was a Granulated Slippery Jack, or Suillus granulatas. cool! This IDing stuff is easy. Heh.
Down the path we went, under some California Oak and what should be there but:
 A crow flew between me and the sun and then landed on a black cat 20 meters ahead to ride him around in a few rodeo circles, I felt fear in my belly (or was that my liver?), somewhere far off in the distance an old woman cackled. The Destroying Angel, or Amanita ocreata had revealed itself. With a respectful nod we slowly backed away, thankful to live to hunt another day.
Not more than 100 meters away, pulses slowing, I noticed something on the ground that looked like a partially decayed chunk of shag rug that had been caked with the crumbs of a million Fig Newtons.

I looked up in the California Oak and saw a big yellow bunch of fresher looking shag hanging down. It is the Lion's Mane, or Hericium erinaceus. Apparently good for eating, it was alas too high and the tree was hanging over the neighbors kitchen. But I still might go do a commando mission by the dawns light.

We toddled on, kicking piles of woodchips, crawling under pine boughs, and being generally stupified at how much fungus is out there if you take the time to look for it. The only one here I could identify is the Destroying Angel, if anyone as some ideas on the others pictured here please let me know.
 I think top right is a type of Russula since it snapped like chalk. I returned home for vittles and the regal my mother with tales of the hunt. We didn't talk about it, but I could tell the Intended was looking at me with something new in her loving eyes. Something that acknowledged the acumen, scientific skills of identification and discipline I had learned and exhibited. Was that respect? Alas, no. An ability to put up with hours doing silly things is prerequisite to hanging with the Thirdwire and the look I had mistaken was simply hunger and maybe too much caffeine.
Later in the day I went for a second hunt and found what I believe to be a collection of Pluteus cervinus.



Still no actives but I'm not fussed, I have learned a bunch and look forward to continuing, there is no hurry and when the time is right the Cyans will make themselves apparent.

Hey thirdwire, welcome to the forum! Always a pleasure to see someone taking the initiative to do their own research. It shows commitment and interest, which is less common than you would expect (most people just want you to show them how to hunt actives or edibles).
Totally get that Hericium, they are among my very favourite edibles!!

Very nice. Good to see another instance of this, as there is rumour that redwood will kill a patch (due to the acidity or something). Obviously this is not the case.

the only thing that will kill a patch around here is me.

If redwood Is "supposedly" too acidic, adding some calcium carbonate into the chips might work if youre making the woodchip bed yourself.
This wont completely work because you cant put calcium carbonate INTO a woodchip lol. might help a little. maybe
