However the next day I found ones ~5-8 m away that didn't seem associated with those roots
Growing in rich exposed soil in a Darlingtonia californica meadow. Pileus blue-grey, frosty textured, with a distinct umbo, turning lighter and more brown in age. Lamellae off-white, narrowly attached. Stipe whitish, fibrous-twisted, growing crowded.
Collected at PNW Key Council spring foray, 2017

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”.
I’m assuming the items are unrelated, but proximity is interesting
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.
This was the first time we saw this species. We found about 30 plants in this location.
Four day follow-up of these plants is posted here:
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/221172761
John Marquis wrote me about where to find this species back in 2010, and he got a photograph of these same plants in full bloom on 20 August 2010.
@leptonia independently found these exact plants 14 years later, growing at the bottom of the same rock! See:
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/220832091
In all our surveys at SnJt, we've only found this species in three spots, all in the same general area.
Scaly-fibrous zonate slightly hygrophanous (?) cap, squared/flat stipe, single fruitbody could not find others in the vicinity
Cap viscid stem dry. In wood chip landscaping. Taste moderately farinaceous.
Something's causing these leaves to swell up and turn pink, like some rusts do but I couldn't find obvious fruiting bodies.
First seen and photographed by Felix Collins.
Brian Patrick said I should put up this record as there are no observations of bat-winged fly on NW!
San Vicente Redwoods- Mixed hardwood/conifer forest that burned in the 2020 CZU fire
Growing on the side of trail in burnt soil in an area of high severity burn dominated by early successional Eriodictyon californicum and Ceanothus
Rusty orange, strongly hygrophanous pileus. Lamellae light orange/brown becoming darker in age, finely serrate, narrowly attached to notched to broadly attached. Stipe becoming slightly enlarged at base, fibrous, twisted in some specimens, covered in delicate white fibrils that easily come off, giving it a "frosted" appearance
Taste and smell indistinct
Brown KOH on pileus
Burn scar of CZU fire, in live oak & madrone woodland. Found underneath the bark of a fallen oak log
Found amongst mesquite woodland. Possibly/probably transported here by humans but bears and bear habitat are not terribly far from here and a starving/sick animal may have wandered onto the desert to die
Growing on mossy bank of road in redwood forest. Pileus light blue, velvety-scurfy, domed. Lamellae not yet mature, whitish. Stipe light blue, with slight soft scurfy to granular ornamentation.
