 PLEASE HELP....Possible P. azurescens in florida???????

Yesterday I was in the woods.
Low and behold I find these brown, caramel capped mushrooms already dried but still intact growing off some rotted woodchips and wild mulch. They werent very big but the stems were bruising so I though to myself maybe I have a different psilocybe strain here. I have pics but no software to upload them correctly (Im using a friends PC)
The closest I could come up with online is the fact that they look EXACTLY like dried P. azurescens.... I mean very similar. The gills (underneath the cap are a chocolate brown color. The caps are the same with a little dark bruising on the edges and a little dark yellow near the center. The caps are pointy at the edges from the drying process most likely. I'm sorry I have no pics but can anyone point me in some sort of direction here?????????

If you are using an Iphone or ipod then email the pics to yourself. If you have a camera than just mount it as a disk drive and pull them out of the folder.

Dude, you can't find P. azurescens in Florida. Sorry man, but it's just not possible, unless you find them in somebody's fridge growing in a tub or something. You guys don't get cold enough temps, and it's totally the wrong time of year anyway. I'm guessing you found some Psathyrella, or some Stropharia. It's also a SPECIES of Psilocybe, not a STRAIN. Strains are for people playing with cubes in closets.

I hope by hatch you mean trash. Do not eat these please. It makes me highly uncomfortable to think you are going to eat something you don't know the name of.
Blue can be present on a fungus and have nothing to do with being an active. Some species with blue colorings can poison you or make you very sick.
Find a way to post pics.

 I hope he was talking about the trash too, or a garbage hatch. Eating random mushrooms is like drinking from random barrels of chemicals. Only a matter of time before you accidentally drink some Potassium Cyanide.
The more I think about it, I picture them being a species of Agrocybe in the praecox cluster. Kinda makes sense with the mulch habitat Since the user is offline, there really is nothing we can do except hope they were not consumed.

Wow, don't do that buddy! I would hate to read of a mushroom poisoning article involving you. You did good coming here and asking for an ID, follow through. There is some pretty good information on Shroomery.com as to the states specific mushrooms grow, and even info on the seasons they are likely to be found in.

You've been a good poster up until now. Don't be consumed by idiocy and just chow down on unidentified mushrooms. Besides, if you truly found Psilocybes growing on wood in Florida then you may have something incredibly rare. Take spore prints! Save dried samples! If you can plug your camera into the computer via USB then I don't think you really need special software to get the photos. Just navigate to the camera in Computer or My Computer.

And if you have a phone with a microSD card (smaller than your fingernail) you can pop that into a microSD to SD adapter card.

The images in your gallery are not a species of psilocybe, does your camera have a macro mode? It looks like a flower. With the gills being the color that they are I would guess a galerina or gymnopilus species. For your life's sake please don't eat them until you get some better pictures up or maybe someone with magical identification skillz ( ) will come by and help out a little more.

Maybe some old, nasty Gymnopilius. Regardless of what they are, they don't really look in any condition to eat. Pics are too blurry to really identify. Please don't eat them.

So the stems weren't bruising blue, they were just bruising? If you could retake the photos with the mushrooms further away from the camera that would be ideal. See how your hand and arm are in focus but the mushroom is blurry? It's much better to have the mushrooms further from the camera and in focus than it is to be super up close and blurry  Definitely not a Psilocybe species, but does look like it may be a Gymnopilus.
