Yea they are cool, almost perfectly round, with a stem on one side where it was connected to the basidium.
Cantharellus californicus









Psathyrella candolleana

Cheilocystidia on the tip of a gill edge shows interesting encrustations

Spores ellipsoid-truncate with a large germ pore, 10.8 micron divisions

Melanoleuca sp.

Interesting harpoon shaped cheilocystidia


Ornamented spores

Agaricus albolutescens - These are really common under live oak right now. They smell like almonds and taste great.





Amanita ocreata (destroying angel)
Based on the survival rate, these are a whole lot more potent than the death cap

Note the solid stem!



Psathyrella longipes

Albino P. longipes:


Plectania sp.

Nolanea sp.

Hygrocybe singeri



Amanita constricta


Habitat:

Lactarius argillaceifolius var. megacarpus

Agaricus semotus
These smell strongly of almonds



Phyllotopsis nidulans


Panus conchatus

Stunning photography work.
I could smell the Chanterelles just from looking at the photos. And the Amanita ocreata stem was amazing!
POTM material there. If no one else nominates one I will.

Very nice work. It's like mushroom pornography!

Yes. This is coast live oak, it looks really cool and has lots of edible species growing with it including grisettes, Amanita velosa, chenterelles, and Agaricus albolutescens.
I got some good Agaricus albolutescens prints if anyone wants to try to grow it.

nice photos Alan!!!
Those Grisettes and Chanterelles are huge.
Coastal Live Oaks are amazingly beautiful and peaceful, and is becoming my favorite tree.
