mycenoid mushroom ~ 02/10/14 ~ Stevens Creek
Why, hello, tiny friend. Long time, no see. Welcome back. Boy, it sure was nice to find mushrooms again, given our record-breaking dry winter. This Mycena sp. was growing on a very large, decaying douglas-fir trunk. I looked at numerous mycenoid pictures online with the off chance I could make a specific ID. No such luck. Most are nondescript brownish grey, but some mycenoids are gorgeous yellow, orange, reddish orange, and rose colored. I doubt I'll ever become proficient with mushrooms, especially considering I have zero desire to look at spore prints and haul out my scope. Plus, I worry about poisonous ones, and not knowing which are which, I have a general hands-off policy. Just as well, I end up leaving them just as I found them.

ps 09/03/11 - I originally posted this in another initial post. I'm making a general guess as to the moss species. For a cool Norwegian moss ID site, check out Kristins Lav Og Moser. Also, check out California State University, Northridge's CA bryophytes page.

Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
