Agaricus perobscurus
While driving down a dirt road I spotted this mushroom under a cypress tree. Agaricus perobscurus ( the Princess ) is only found in San Francisco bay area and closely related to Agaricus augustus ( the Prince ). It smells like almond extract and is very delicious. It is an odd find for August (Edit: acutally not really, it is apparently most common in late summer), but if the conditions are just right, mushrooms will take advantage.

Late October here, the same area has Augustus popping up. Darker cap and less yellow staining.
