Growing around wooden sign in irrigated lawn of developed land. Unfortunately a lawn mower or weed whacker apparently decapitated them recently and I was able to only find one older small specimen fully intact. Rhizomorphic growth in soil down to some well decomposed wood that seems to be coniferous. Gills pale but becoming slightly darker in age on a few of the clipped heads I found. Stipe shows blue staining. Gregarious fruiting of ~ 10 stipes
