Please Help Me ID these California Mushrooms
    #11024392 -

Hello, all -

I've been reading these forums for a while, this is my first post. I collected these this past weekend and am wondering if there's any chance they're actives (although I doubt it). Thanks in advance for any help.



Habitat:
In redwood forest in south SF bay area; growing in wet mud next to a waterfall.

Gills:
White or beige - see picture



Stem:
1-2 inches, very thin, white and smooth. - see pictures





Cap:
Small, the largest no bigger than a finger tip, about 0.25 to 0.5 inches. Tan, beige or light brown (one cap was nearly white), conical, convex. Mostly smooth with some light peeling.








Spore print color:
I did my best here, removing a cap and allowing it to sit for a few days, but it didn't drop any spores. Others that I had allowed to sit on their side seemed to drop some spores, although not in a pattern. The color is a purplish tinge of brown, which isn't captured that well in the picture, unfortunately.





Bruising:
No apparent bruising.

Your mushrooms are Inocybe and/or Psathyrella.

Thanks, guys - I thought they may have been psathyrella just from looking at other pictures on here...

From what I understand, both may have some active qualities similar to aminitas but are pretty toxic aside from that and therefore inedible, is that right?

And thanks for the kind welcome!

Neither Inocybe or Psathyrella are active like Amanitas.

A few rare species of Inocybe contain psilocybin, most are toxic. 

Psathyrellas are nontoxic and inactive.

i think you are confusing muscarine [a nasty toxin found in many Inocybe species and others] and muscimol [a compound found in the psychoactive Amanita species].

i don't know where you got the idea about Psathyrella.

Attn PWN hunters: If you should come across a bluing Psilocybe matching P. pellicolusa please smell it.
If you detect a scent reminiscent of Anethole (anise) please preserve a specimen or two for study and please PM me.
