Grey-brown convex cap, split with age. Adnexed to free gills, dark brown to black spore print.
Single fruiting body of a cup fungus observed under oak. Interior of cup smooth and light brown; exterior finely bumpy and lighter in color. Fruiting body lacks stem and is growing from mycelium embedded in the soil, visible in the photo. Photographs depict the fruiting body in habitat, and two sides of the fruiting body with a ruler for scale.

Sparse aggregation in moist redwood litter. Slimy bright red caps, 2.5-5cm wide, orange, oval-shaped waxy stalk, salmon-flesh colored sinuate gills
Shelf fungus on dead log in large overlapping groups. Leathery/slightly hairy texture when dry, concentric rings of contrasting colors.
Many clusters of some type of Coprinus near where I live.
Light yellow cap and stem, very flat yet conical cap. Slightly decurrent gills, seems different from the other species of Stropharia I identified.
Grey-brown convex cap, split with age. Adnexed to free gills, dark brown to black spore print.
Some of the samples auto digesting. Spore print was messy and hard to get because of black ink, so it is not included.
I'm having a really challenging time with this one. Another possible genus is Macowanites.
