Diminutive, light brown mushrooms growing from mossy soil in Pseudotsuga menziesii and Notholithocarpus densiflorus forest. Pileus light brown, striate. Lamellae widely attached. Stipe long and thin, both stipe and cap ornamented with fine granules.
Very slimy/sticky cap. Very delicate, stipes start to buckle under the weight of the cap with the slightest disturbance. A few were yellow but most were whitish beige, color seems not necessarily correlated to maturity.
Growing in ultramafic fen creek with Erythranthe linearifolia, Darlingtonia californica, Cirsium douglasii, etc. Pileus conical, red-orange, staining black, dry. Lamellae free, yellow and black. Stipe fibrous, light colored, blackening
Stipe texture and pileus shape of younger ones made me think Mycena but probably not. Xeromphalina? Fruiting from soil in streambank with Abies magnifica and Pinus jeffreyi nearby. KOH brown. Odorless. Chrysomphalina aurantiaca and Galerina sp. in close proximity. KOH brown. Odorless.

Growing from grassy wet meadow. Pileus tacky, golden-brown, striate, secotioid with a small amount of velar tissue attaching it to stipe. Stipe yellow, slightly scurfy. This doesn't seem to have the character of a Psilocybe, I feel like it has Bolbitius energy @warren_cardimona
Hidden in rotting Madrone log
Fuzzy white ascos growing on evergreen Huckleberry leaves trailside
Maybe E. coelestinum or close? Leptonia. In dense litter of Adenostoma sparsifolium. Ceanothus present nearby also but wasn't noticed in duff composition.
Yellow with a green tinge, found among redwoods and by a creek
Mill creek trail, under redwoods, quickly bruised bright blue then green. Working on a spore print. Does indeed have a very distinctive odor, could be described as “mouse-like”.
First two photos are at mature stage. The remaining photos go backwards to immature stages.
Brown immature plasmodium and forming fruiting bodies is unusual; usual this species is white or yellow when immature.
Thanks to @malacothrix for finding these.
Pigmented smooth ellipsoid spores. No germ pore.
Found growing terrestrially?(possibly from buried dead Aspen) next to the Truckee River near the West shore of Lake Tahoe in Tahoe City, CA. Appear to be Cerioporus squamosus or similar which are not supposed to occur this far west. They do not appear to be one of the Polyporus species which do occur here.
Growing under Pinus ponderosa, Pseudotsuga menziesii and Pinus lambertiana. Head rich red-brown, wrinkled, folded and infurled. Stipe pinkish tan, slightly wrinkled.

Growing on very wet, decayed wood (tanoak I think) along Zayante Creek
finally found some, was raining super hard and my pictures aren't very good. If I had recognized how small they were I wouldn't have misidentified so many other species

LAMS24-209
On Alnus, sweet anise smell, UV light blue on gills
Coprinellus 'PNW 04' growing completely submerged in flowing water on various small pieces of wood. I have no reason to think the water level here has recently risen, in a spring and summer long stream of snowmelt directly below a culvert in a considerable current, we haven't had any significant hot streak that would have raised the flow.
Overmature and mature clusters collected. Bases of the stipe seemed to have a "holdfast" adaptation at the base similar Vibrissea, see pictures. (I know they are in a different order, more of a visual metaphor)
Burned Quercus/Pinus dominant woodland (now shrubland post-burn), just west of Knoxville road near Lake Berryessa

Growing from mosses on rocks in live oak and Umbellularia forest in hillside ravine. Pileus dark blue with nearly black scurfy scales. Lamellae light bluish white, sometimes forking, narrowly attached, darkening and becoming covered in pink spores in age, UV+ bright bluish white. Stipe smoothly fibrillose, lacking cottony white base.
