Santa Cruz
On Saturday, I went to the North Campground of Henry Cowell, Fall Creek (also in Henry Cowell), and then Quail Hollow Ranch from 12:00-5:00.
I had dropped by the North Campground of Henry Cowell on my way to the fungus fair last week. There were some large Fly Amanitas along the road. This time, I was surprised at how nearly all the mushrooms I had seen last week were gone and replaced by a whole new set of mushrooms.
Fall Creek was recommended to me by some hikers when I had visited Quail Hollow Ranch, and today I finally got to visit. The creek is beautiful, and there were some interesting mushrooms. However, it was quite cold and dark, and Quail Hollow Ranch was a refreshing change of scenery.

Nice pix of a productive day of mushrooming! I wonder how close we got at the Santa Cruz Fungus Fair......I was there, too!
Thanks! Yeah, I wonder how close we were to actually meeting. The fungus fair is the place where I've met the most people from iNaturalist.
Did you also go to the 2017 Santa Cruz Mycoflora Foray? I was pleasantly surprised to meet @pdvmushroom there.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to attend because of another event I had that conflicted.
