Agaricus approximansObservador

Agaricus sp. growing in piñon/juniper/Ponderosa pine/Gambel oak habitat. Rapid yellow staining when bruised, esp. in stem. This evolved to a distinctly brownish color after 10-15 min. Had a phenolic "band-aid" odor. Taste not distinctive. Specimens air-dried and sent to Terri Clements for sequencing.

This collection was a curiosity because of its unusual substrate - a thick, soft, multi-year mound of rotting juniper berries at the foot of a very large, old shaggy-bark juniper (commonly known as "cedar" in this locality.) Could be a Utah juniper (Juniperus osteosperma/J.utahensis).
When I heard of an Agaricus growing in the piñon-juniper forest, I stopped by to photograph and collect it, thinking it might be the rare Agaricus pinyonensis. I showed the images to Arora, who believes it to be too small to be that species, and moreover there are no piñon pines within at least 100 feet.
It has a typical pleasant mushroomy Agaricus smell and taste, with no phenolic or almond components. A faint but stable pinkish tinge is observed when the flesh of the cap is cut, but no appreciable staining is seen on the pileipellis or stipitipellis when crushed or bruised.
A voucher specimen was collected and dried, and will soon be sent to Terri Clements for possible sequencing.

Ringless Amanita with peach-colored pilipellis demonstrating a few patchy remnants of the universal veil and a striated cap margin. White, floppy volva approximately 2cm in length. Internal surface of volva is peach-colored, closely matching cap. Free white gills. No noticeable odor. Growing under aspen, Populus tremuloides.
This is believed to be Amanita "barrowsii" nom. prov.

This ascomycete cup fungus is posted on behalf of Trevor Ian Patching, who discovered it growing on the weatherbeaten, mossy ash-wood trim of his old Morris Minor "Traveller" estate wagon in the south of England. These vehicles were produced from 1953 to 1971. They were the last production wood-bodied cars in the world, powered by a 37 hp flat four and known for good handling characteristics.

PILEUS: Funnel shaped cap about 6 cm diameter, whitish in the central depression and light yellow brown elsewhere on the pileipellis. Margin slightly inrolled, but could be an artifact of desiccation. No staining. Scattered tiny squama of 1-2 mm, minimally elevated, sl. darker than the rest of the cap. Context white, non-staining, thin but relatively tough and flexible.
HYMENIUM: Narrowly spaced, non-forking, decurrent light yellow-orange gills of shallow (<3mm) depth. Many lamellulae of random locations and lengths in the most peripheral 30%. Gills are resistant to tearing or detachment. No staining or bruising.
STIPE: About 5mm thick and 30mm long. Firm, resistant to tearing, flexible. Even from top to bottom except slight bulge at base. No well formed annulus or volva, but slightly shaggy at its upper 30-40%. Very light yellow color of stipitipellis at apex decreasing to off-white at base. Context completely white. No staining.
SENSORY: Relatively desiccated with little scent, but a faintly floral odor is noted. No noteworthy taste.
SPORES: Unable to assess in absence of microscopy facility. Too desiccated to throw spore print.
HABITAT: Growing from a weathered softwood log of unknown species. Tropical atoll less than 1 m above sea level. Heavy rains 2 days ago, mostly sunny and warm since.

The blue staining of the cut flesh can be seen here:
https://vimeo.com/137893789
No visible spore print; specimen probably too old. [CORRECTION: Spore print faintly yellow overnight.]
Spore microscopy will be performed later and this observation will be updated.
Growing under Populus tremuloides and Abies concolor.
Pores and all parts of the flesh stain blue with bruising/cutting in 15-30 seconds.
A portion of the dried specimen will be sent to David Arora for sequencing, and the remainder will be put in the Gilbertson Herbarium at the University of Arizona.
At the time of creation, this was the most westerly and southerly observation in North America on Mushroom Observer, and according to Arora, it may be the first collection west of the Mississippi River.
ADDENDUM 9-6-2015: Spore measurements were performed. Description: 7.8 [8.0; 10.3] 10.8 × 4.9 [5.1; 6.1] 6.2 µm; Q = 1.38 [1.46; 1.77] 1.90; N = 60; C = 95%; Me = 8.9 × 5.5 µm; Qe = 1.61

Found in the Porter Spring area north of FR 96 on the San Juan Fire, which burned in May/June 2014. On a slightly north-facing slope under partially burned Pinus ponderosa and Pseudotsuga menziesii, amidst moderate pine and fir needle duff.
Hairs on stipe exceeding 200µm were seen on microscopy, with brownish colored walls in KOH. Spores oval, smooth, of variable size but average 20×12 µm.
This collection and one other of the same species were made during an outing of the Arizona Mushroom Club. David Arora was a guest, and discovered and identified this collection. The first picture in the series is his, not mine.
Air-dried specimen in possession of Christopher May and available to anyone interested.
