Growing in ridgetop old growth redwood forest along the fog drip line. Pileus dark grey, lighter at the margins, flat to slightly dimpled. Lamellae grey, widely attached. Stipe grey, with white basal tomentum.
Growing from grassy wet meadow. Pileus tacky, golden-brown, striate, secotioid with a small amount of velar tissue attaching it to stipe. Stipe yellow, slightly scurfy. This doesn't seem to have the character of a Psilocybe, I feel like it has Bolbitius energy @warren_cardimona

Growing around wooden sign in irrigated lawn of developed land. Unfortunately a lawn mower or weed whacker apparently decapitated them recently and I was able to only find one older small specimen fully intact. Rhizomorphic growth in soil down to some well decomposed wood that seems to be coniferous. Gills pale but becoming slightly darker in age on a few of the clipped heads I found. Stipe shows blue staining. Gregarious fruiting of ~ 10 stipes
