NOTE: I am not a trusted verifier. Nor am I an experienced verifier. I am a mycology noob who is looking to expand his knowledge.

A agree with vjp. It is an armillaria sp. Based on the conditions and that you found it in LA on a tree stump makes me think it is Armillaria cepistipes. Armillaria tabescens, maybe?

It's not Armillaria tabescens, which doesn't have a visible ring like these do. I'm not at all sure about a species level ID.

Hi Noiso, 

Thanks for all the helpful information.  I appreciate it.  In looking at both Armillaria Tabescens and Cepistipes the comparison is greatest to the Cepistipes.  Your ability is growing, Alan confirmed that its Armillaria. 

Cheers,

Adrian
