Mushrooms at El Dorado Park Nature Center

Hi All,

Following some strong rains a couple of weeks ago I took to the trails at El Dorado Park Nature Center (Long Beach) looking for mushrooms to photograph. I found plenty, this cluster being an interesting one. I found a telltale swirl of fallen twigs, and when removed, this below. I'd appreciate all you mycologists out there letting me know what type of mushroom this is. I didn't try to eat any.

I took this shot hand-held with a Fuji W3 and frame sides for phantogram processing. As the shot measured around 8-1/2" x 11" I didn't need to use any macro devices.
