   Things are very dry in Shenandoah Valley, Virginia.  Despite the   
   dryness, I found Gymnopilus, Armillaria, Lycoperdon, and a Hygrocybe   
   growing next to a spring.  The first 3 are able to obtain moisture from   
   dead tree trunks wicking moisture from a deeper ground strata, or from   
   moisture still bound up in fallen trees.  The Hygrocybe was growing next   
     to a spring, one of the few flowing water sources away from the   
   streams, which are running pretty low.  Any guesses on what the   
   Hygrocybe is (H. appalachianensis?)?  See:
