Park at Woodside Campground. The parking is $7. Then you take any trail going up the hill.
There are many different kinds of mushrooms growing there so bring a detailed book or just don't take any mushrooms that you are not sure of.
The best time to go is about a week after heavy rains, that way you're almost guaranteed to see some fungi!
Make sure to bring your guide to understanding the right mushrooms to pick safely.
