These were growing on the ground/debris under Redwood. However, as they were in a parking lot median, it's possible there were wood chips of some sort under the Redwood litter. Caps were viscid and up to 5 cm across. Spores were 8.0-9.1 X 5.3-6.0 microns, ellipsoid, smooth and egg-shaped. Copious amount of gill cystidia. The cheilocystidia was ~ 45-60 X 12-14 microns, lageniform and some with encrusted apices. Pleurocystidia was from ~ 70-85 X 14-19 microns and narrowly lageniform to nettle hair-shaped. Initially I thought they were our locally common P. velaglutinousa but the spores are too large and the cystidia does not match. So far the rather user unfriendly Smith & Hessler Pholiota tome has not helped.
