Official N. CAlifornia, BAY AREA, (S.F.) thread *Fall 2008-Spring 2009* ((post your finds here!))

Long time no talk...
Sorry about that, I've been in transition. Anyway, I was on my way to the Mycological Society of San Francisco (MSSF) meeting last night and despite my doubt, I decided to just check up on one of my smaller patches from last year. Upon surveying the wood chips I was slightly surprised to see a pin. Considering the conditions I assumed it was a Galerina and hastily snapped the stipe and carried the mushroom inside of the museum. Inspecting the pin more closely, I was shocked to find that it was in fact the first Ps. cyanescens I had found of the 2009 Fall Season!
This was a pleasant surprise and after showing it around to a few members at the meeting, Alan and I did a more thorough search of the patch. I spotted 2 more pins and luckily Alan had his digital camera on him, so he was abe to get some habitat shots. We left the tiniest mushroom to mature, and I had already (unfortunately) picked another, but one of the three pins I transplanted and have relocated to Gron Labs and it seems to have adapted well using moist soil, eucalyptus shavings, and cardboard, in a cut-up, wax Dixie cup!
I will continue to water this mushroom and hope to see it to maturity.
This marks the beginning of the Fall 2009, Bay Area Mushroom Season!!! Once a few more reports have come in, Alan or I will sticky this topic. So lets get this shit started!!
It is good to be back..... I haven't had a computer of my own since I moved a few months ago, but I hope to be back soon.
These photos were taken with my rather inadequate 2 mega pixel, camera phone, but Alan has some better photos taken from their original habitat so perhaps he will post those shortly.

Welcome back, Kitten. You were missed, some were worried.
Now about this official thread business....
It's fine I suppose, but if every state or locale did that there wouldn't be room for the other, and more serious, ID requests. Normally, I put the creators of those threads on ignore to tidy up the place. But it's all good. I'll give this one a pass, maybe.

Senior Hongos, one of the reasons for labeling threads "official" is to indicate to members and moderators alike, that relevant finds or posts should be posted there. Furthermore, stickying official season threads for specific areas is so that the traffic during those seasons doesn't impede on the topics and general discussion of world wide members. It just gets too cluttered and isn't very fair for new comers who may be trying to relate to mycology more generally.
Notice that this thread is not yet stickied due to the scarce findings recently, but as it is an "official" thread or whatever, and stickied, people will know that it may be the best place for their post if they are hunting in the area. Also, it sets up a place for this seasons finds to begin being recorded.
Thanks everyone for the welcome back! My distractions will be leaving for a week or two. starting this weekend, so I hope to take advantage of the time and see what else is beginning to grow around here. I hope you will all start checking your patches shortly and maybe we can get a good estimate of when things will really get going.
