Group of fungi growing on moss and were moist and striated. Cone shaped, underneath a Big Leaf Maple.
Note the tiny flecks on the cap, which give it its name.
There were a ton of these entirely covering a log just off the path in the forest.
This is a future Sonoma County Regional Park. About a year or two away.
Same lawn wood-chip pile as the great big Parasol Mushrooms, but much smaller -- caps 2.5 cm across. Think I've got an ID on these. Fits with the info at www.mushroomexpert.com/coprinellus_micaceus.html.
Surrounded by conifers, salal, maple leaves, and bryophytes
