Probably an Agrocybe. That would be the darkest brown Agrocybe print I have seen. If you can get access to a microscope check that the spores are smooth and lack a germ pore.

*Flinchs* I'm sorry! *Slinks out of room*
Should I make a new thread like this for each species, or should I put everything I find in one day in one thread?

Everything for each day in a thread works well.

I found this earlier, and I was wondering whether it's P.Subaeruginosa or not. It was found growing on some woodchips, under a Eucalyptus tree. The spore print looks as if it has a faint purplish hue to it, but I won't be sure until I can look at it under natural light. The photos aren't particularly great, but hopefully they'll be enough.




EDIT: Also, I found these about a week ago, but was only taking pictures.

hmm the stem definitely says sub judging by the blue. spore print looks spot on as well. the pictures aren't great, but i think it looks pretty good to me. the ones growing in woodchips look like subs as far as i can see as well. be sure to go back there and pick some more

Awesome, my first magic find ever.
Yeah, I was held up before I went hunting, so by the time I got there it was getting dark and I didn't have a torch.

The first one is definately P.subaeruginosa? The stem bruises very dark blue (darker than most of the stains I've seen on here) and the spore print is dark brown with a slight tinge of purple. Is there any possibility at all that it could be a Galerina of some sort?

i was under the impression galerina's had a rusty brown to light brown spore print, and a flimsy stem.

I think you're right, also Galerinas don't bruise blue, It's definately very dark blue, and I'm just going to wait for a trusted identifier to say I'm right before eating it.
EDIT: Actually, I'm certain that it was psilocybe Subaeruginosa after all, but the cap had atleast one maggot in it, so I'm not going to eat it.
