Decorated granite moth?


Possibly Digrammia decorata or decorated granite, although it looks nothing like the one pictured here.  This is a common moth here in Fullerton

Photographed early this morning, in a sheltered spot on the side of my house.

Unidentified mushroom



This specimen was about 2.5 in/6 cm across with brown gills; it was found growing under a pine tree.  We tried to make a spore print to aid in identifying it, but it was too dry.
