Hey Alan.
Just thought I'd say hi since I hadn't written you in a while.
If you're in a photography mood, the 85 overpass at El Camino is full of all kinds of interesting stuff.  Nothing really tasty or sacramental, but there are _at least_ a dozen different kinds of mushrooms there, and several of them are rather photogenic.
Agaricus Xanthodermus (big ring of them)
Naematoloma aurantiaca (About a million of them)
Leucocoprinus birnbaumii (Some big beautiful colonies of them)
Agrocybe Praecox
Stropharia ambigua  (These really had me scratching my head at first. :)
Some large colonies of something that was the color of dried grass but very pliable and leathery.  
And lots of others.  It's quite an array.  Though I wish I could find even one cyanescens for Cyanofriscosa.  I have this mad idea about liquid culture, a super-soaker, and all those huge piles of woodchips the highway department is using for roads and parks around here.  Friscosas are probably better, I think, from what I've read, they deal with warm weather a little better.  Anyhow.  I figure as much as people tear up the beds of those mushrooms, it'd be kind of cool if someone went around and deliberately seeded some.
