Madison Heights, mushroom.
Agaricus xanthodermus []
From planter above sidewalk just S of California on W side of Euclid. In hard bare dirt under mixed ornamental trees. Thought they were Agaricus bitorquis due to developing underground, but stain clearly and immediately deep yellow.

Trametes hirsuta-group []
On El Molino, going down hill south of Glenarm, on E side, at base of ancient gnarly jacaranda. Well peed-upon judging by the foul odor permeating my dining room the morning after ugh!
