Port Bougainvillea, mostly fungi.

Just rained buckets last night and had a spare hour to do a quick tour of Port Bougainvillea. Lots of Mycena, several Lentinus detonsus, and some other excellent ones mentioned and/or described below.

antler fungus

GEN small shelf mushroom, on bark of dead limb
ST none
CAP branched like antlers, brown, silky hairy, strongly rolled under, K+ black
GILL reddish cinnamon brown
SPORE .

Agaricus abruptibulbus []

Young specimen with partial veil still in tact.
GEN med-small mushroom, on ground beside road
ST 50x10mm, solid, smooth, firm, flimsy skirt-like ring, abruptly bulbous base
CAP 35x25mm, white, smooth, min fibrillose, dry, K+ distinct yell
FLESH 5mm, whitish, firm
GILL free, 4mm, off-white but aging pinkish-brown
SPORE print ?, colorless, smooth, round to ellip, 5-6x4-5um, some sort of depression or hole inside
Too young to get good spore print, but the gills turning pinkish-brown with age clinch the genus, anyway.

Calocera cornea []

GEN tiny fungus, on fallen log
CAP gelatinous but v tough, v bright yellow, less tha 10mm long, rounded oblong to spatulate, rarely forked, growing straight out from log, dker around base, impossible to detach by hand
Doesn't look much like the one I recorded from the smokies on 20060715, but who knows...

Lepiota lutea []

GEN small mushroom, on hardwood limb on ground
ST 45x2.5-8mm, bulbous base, smooth, same color as cap, no ring (actually photo shows remnants of an evanescent one), hollow, stuffed with white cotton at base
CAP 25mm, conical, delicate, pale but soncpic lemon yell, shiny-smooth, min plicate, min lacerate marg, dker and sl granulose/pubesc knob?
GILL same color, v thin, clean, att?
SPORE print whitish, colorless, ovoid, 10-11x7-8um, dry rafts, cool bubble in back end, knob
Yikes! I keyed this one totally wrong I just happened to see it's photo while checking out my Agaricus californicus abaove...

Lepiota "tiny vinaceous orange" []

GEN small mushroom, in soil under hardwoods
ST 60x3mm, white, fibrous, somewhat hollow, inconspic cottony flared ring near top
CAP 30mm, flat, conspic umbo, fibrillose, peach-orange-tan-purplish drying much dker orange, streaked, v abruptly dk in ctr, split marg
FLESH 1mm or so, whitish, soft
GILL white, free, 2 per mm or so, 3-5mm deep, min conspic ragged edge
SPORE print white, 5-6x3-4um, colorless, smooth, ellip, min knobbed, sticking in dry masses, no texture at all
Don't know this genus yet.

Polyporus "hairy mori" []

GEN shelf mushroom, on hardwood stump
ST lateral and v stubby short
CAP 50-60mm wide semicircle, tough but flexible, thin flesh, creamy white, v d shaggy ab, esp hairy near stem
GILL huge hexagonal pores, decur, same color as cap, sl hairy, to 5mm long, to 7-8mm deep
SPORE print ?, colorless, weakly textured, oblong to bean-shaped, min conspic knob, 10-13x4-5um, sticking in wet rafts
Keys convincingly to P. mori, but in the description Arora explicitly says it lack hairs on the cap! Close but no cigar.

Polyporus fagicola []

GEN med-large mushroom, free-standing shelf on ground or buried wood
ST central but pores decurrent and it's not clear where it stops and ends if it even exists, stout
CAP 80-100mm, vase-like to concave, zoned, creamy to golden brown, smooth, dk varnished center from old growth
FLESH 5mm or so, creamy, rubbery tough, K+ lt brown
GILL pores, somewhat maze-like, 3 per mm, creamy, 2mm deep
SPORE ?
Geez, beats me.
