LBM ID...Psathyrella or Psilosybe?

#1081046 - 11/24/02 04:28 AM (10 years, 5 months ago)

Here are a few pictures of some mushrooms growing in my back yard. They can be found all over the lawn. Some rather large patches have come up where I chipped some fir limbs two years ago.
They are mostly small 1/4-1/2" caps 2-4" tall some 1" caps.
Stems are hollow.
Spore print is very dark black or purple/black. spores under 1000x scope are smooth and almost an apple seed shape. Appear brown under the scope back lite.
Caps and stems do not bruise blue.
Location is SW Washington. Every where I have gone I have found these, they are very common. Someone must know :smile:

Sorry I know it's kinda a lame question but I am interested and the ID is driving me nuts. Nobody I know is interested in mycology or shrooms. Show a newbie some mercy!!!

Any help would be great!

Not a psylocibe, probably a psathyrela.

Thanks for the replys. I was leaning toward the Psathyrella because of the smaller caps and the lack of any blueing. From what I have reasearched Psathyrella is edible, though they are almost too small to bother with.

Hope this may help others in the area trying to ID this one!

Lol They grew like crazy in my lawn last year, then I left them to dry in the sun, with some white agaricus, someone threw them away. To me they looked like libs a little bit, (without the nipple of course)
