Cyanopus acervina in mossy area.
Hypholoma/neomola on rotting log. Could be fasticulare, but not showing the greenish expected.
Lactarious species. Orangish moisture at cracked edge suggesting orange latex, but not ozing likely due to dry conditions. Minor green tones at cat top where cut marks are present. Not greening like L. delisosa. Mixed conifer mostly spruce area in moss and grouseberry veg. Russula is possible.
White cap polypore. Smells like anise.
Russula brevipes ( multiple). Still looking for lobster mushroom. None found yet.
