Here we go again! I sure appreciate everyone's help on these.

  BEST GUESS: A beige Catriona rickettsi (looks like this one photographed by David Behrens: invasions.si.edu/nemesis/calnemo/SpeciesSummary.jsp?TSN=7...)

EVEN MORE photos, for the truly dedicated, are on Flikr: https://flic.kr/s/aHsktBR2c1

UPDATE 2/2/2016: "Probablys" from Brenna and Jeff Goddard. ;-)

Dock-naturalists will appreciate the humor in this sea hare's attempt to cram itself into the minimal shelter of this curve in the dock.

• Mottled
• Squishy
• Parapodial flaps joined halfway to tail (yes I looked, and you can too in the second photo!)
• Didn't check for ink since didn't want to stress it.

Growing under redwood canopy in redwood duff, directly off of concrete path. No immediate plants. Further Nearby plants: bay laurel, coast liveoak, bracken fern, annual grasses in clearing/nearby development.

I was pretty confused by these. They sort of look like what some people call “Stropharia aeruginosa” under oak around San Diego, but the gills looked too light (reddish-brown), and they were rather clustered.

Under Bear’s Breeches (Acanthus spinosus) in woodchip mulch.
