No no no no no. You cannot ID a mushroom from a picture you took of it. Did it grow from the stump or near it? what else was in the area, what was at the base of the mushrooms, did they grow singularly or in groups, did you see them in a number of different phases (unopened and opened). This type of mushroom, so far as I know does not grow on stumps or live trees. Furthermore you don't want to ID the thing after it has been dried but immediately, in the field. Double check when you get home if you don't like carrying around the larger books.

Ok i'm going to give this my best shot.
I found them a few days ago in the northern mnts of Cali, growing very titly together, out of the side of the base of a cut down tree stump, there were what apeared to be mature and younger looking ones (altho the younger ones seemd to b separated about 2 inches from the older ones) I would need the pictures to explain more. But after drying them they turnd out black.

Don't eat them, throw them away. Log what you found and where, with pictures of the surrounding area as well as the fruit itself.
Cap 20 -50 mm. Broad, convex to broadly convex to plane in age with an eleveagted and undulating margin wich is, in turn, traqnslucent-striate. The cap surface is smooth and viscid when moist to form a separaqble gelatinous pellicle. The color is caramel brown, fading to yellow-brown to straw colored from the center. The gills are attaced in an adnate to adnexed fashion, dull brown with whitish edges. The stem is 60-80 mm. long by 2-5 mm thick, fibrous and enlarged toward the base. Its surface is smooth or powdered. The stem color is whitish, silky and becomes blue where injured, with rhizomorphs progtruding about the stem base. The partial veil is cortinate, leaving little or no trace on the stem. It's spore print is dark purplish brown.
What kind of tree was it?

wrong color, should be tan brown with a purple brown spore print.
