Oak-loving Elfin Saddle (Helvella dryophila)Observer
mishroomDescription
Growing with Quercus agrifolia.
This is similar to Helvella dryophila, but with very uniformly saddle-shaped caps as opposed to the normal completely convoluted cap that is familiar with this species. I believe that this may be an undescribed species.

The only thing concerning is the lack of obvious striations on the margin of the cap. I am assuming this is due to age.

Growing with Quercus agrifolia. Could this be A. sponsus or simply A. novinupta var. alba? The button seems to bruise brown, characteristic with sponsus, however.

Greenfoot Webcap (Cortinarius glaucopus)Observer
mishroomDescription
Alan mentioned that it could be C. glacopus or C. alboviolaceus. The color, I felt, matched up with C. alboviolaceus, as well as the abundant Cortina remnants. But based on sheer likelihood, I decided this was more likely C. glacopus.
