Large patch with at least two Hygrocybe spp. under Rhus integrifolia and Heteromeles arbutifolia. Another patch nearby was under exclusively H. arbutifolia suggesting that that might be the important leaf litter association here. Stands out from other Southerb California Hygrocybe observations in that no bay laurel was in the area.
Up to 5 inches tall. Pale yellow, pileus conical when fresh becoming planar-convex retaining a slight umbo. Blackening. Gills white into maturity until blackening. Stipe yellow fading to white at bottom, bifurcated in some fruitboedies.
Under Pinus monophylla.
Caps 2 cm broad, tan/cream color, gills similar color, short, medium spacing. With persistent white cortina. Stipe white, base tapering.

@natvik steve what is this and do you want it?
fruitbodies small, caps also small (1.5 cm across), round-conical when young, more plane in age. Caps red and orange with yellow tones towards margin. Cap disk darkening to blackish, stipe blackening slowly when bruised, gills becoming grayish and then black. Growth in grass among Panaeolina foenisecii.
