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.
