under a slight shrump in the decomposed grantie like sand was a large fruiting of this mushrooms making a half circle around a Chamise plant. Manzanita was ~5 m away, otherwise it was all chamise. No scent. very viscid cap with a slime veil extending down to the stem, stem had large ridge on it making it slightly flocculus. cap had a grey hue to it in situ, but it may have been due to it being past sundown
UVF 365 nm = dramatic blue
Rodent digs found throughout the area exclusively under chamise. Manzanita also present, and interior live oak within 100 feet, but digs were only under chamise. Digging revealed that the mycelial mat that truffles were found in and smelled the same dissipated with distance from chamise. Melanogaster also mixed in and more abundant. Parts of the mycelial mat smelled like Melanogaster and parts smelled like these -- distinctly of oil paint. Woodrat nest about 8 feet away.
Diminutive solitary fruitbody growing under salvia and chamise; there was an oak on the other side of the trail about 40 feet away, more or less. Video showing the habitat: https://photos.app.goo.gl/bmwpQFsUpivQSTH78
