Hypholoma fasciculare, "Sulfur Tufts"
 
Mushrooms wear hats too...


Some GIANT Stropharia ambigua!
  
Armillaria sp., "Honey Mushroom"

Tricholoma fracticum (= T. batschii [?]) I was too focused on the mushrooms, I didn't even notice the trash in the background!

Great finds and great pictures. And Galerina pics are always good to see. Your cyanowhatevertheyare pics are great too. Love seeing Psilocybes. We just had our first freezing night last week, and the weiliis have stopped popping up. I was finding a surprisingly good number of them despite our horrible drought.

xmush said it: great finds and great pics!
These are some giant hypholomas btw, I never find them that big. The cap margings look a little wavy on the second one and general appearance is a bit dark, definitely some old ones. Did you taste them? I often feel the urge to confirm my fasciculare id and to exclude h. capnoides.

Thanks guys!!
Yeah, I like the leaf hat Stropharia as well. 
koraks, I didn't taste them... I don't normally taste mushrooms for identification, because too often, my tongue suffers from the experience. I've tried some "peppery" Russula and Lactarius, and it felt like a chemical burn- very painful for a few minutes!! Pretty sure these are not H. capnoides, as these ones were flourescent green/yellow, consistent with H. fasciculare. H. capnoides tends to be a mild yellow colour, lacking the striking green colour.

H. fasciculare has a bitter flavour. H. capnoides, is not bitter and is edible.
Gymnopilus do not taste bitter to alan... he has a weird sense of taste.

Great photos, CC!
Bitter flavors are weird in the way they vary among different people. Some people are hypersensitive to them (I'm one of those), and others can't taste some of them at all (Alan, huh?).
My rule for tasting mushrooms in general is that I don't bother unless the flavor is a specific feature for differentiating between possibilities. I make an exception when I'm writing a description for the herbarium, as flavor is potentially a important feature (you never know what will be important in the future). The last ones I tasted were Chlorophyllum brunneum, which had an outstanding, pleasant mushroom flavor.
Happy mushrooming!

Yeah, I'm hypersensitive to most flavours, particularly bitter ones! I don't even bother with grapefruit, because 9 out of 10 are too unpleasant to eat.
Alan didn't find Gyms to be bitter, but I am not sure if the lack of sensitivity spans to all bitter things, or just Gyms. I'll ask him tonight if he doesn't respond before then.

Neither of them look much like Galerina marginata to me, but I definitely see Tubaria furfuracea on the right in all three photos.
It looks like Tubaria confragosa and Tubaria furfuracea. I would expect a Galerina stem to be a little more fibrous and have veil remnants. Hard to tell, there are hundreds of species which look like that.

Most gyms taste bitter to me, just not G. luteofolius. I have never had a problem tasting bitter in the past.
