I definitely recognize these. They look very similar to the ones I found. We learned at least two things:
1. This mushroom has a wider scope of morphology than previously thought. 2. This mushroom can grow in mulch.

Sweet. Your contributions to the macromorphology of this species is appreciated.

I've found caerulipes that have the same morphological qualities as each of those on workmans page, all within a few hundred feet of one another. My impression is that humidity and temperature play a major role in the features of individual fruitings of this species. Its cool that there have been so many findings this year...id like to add to the list of things we've learned about them...it seems as though their growing season is wider than previously speculated...I've found even amounts of them from July until the last time i went to my spot, which was less than two weeks ago.

Mr. Mushrooms said: Average temperatures for the area right now are in the low 40's at night to the mid 60's during the day. The last photo is interesting. The mulch appears to be pine added more than one year. The needles indicate it might have been White Pine, Pinus strobus, the largest tree in Eastern North America which sometimes reaches 230 ft. in height. The acorn is probably Black Oak, Quercus velutina. Also the other leaves are interesting. I take it this is a very beautiful area.
This probably isn't a residential area. It looks very "park-like." The chips were created with a commercial shredder, not the kind most people have at home.
Gotta say, that is some forensics.

When i hit the BLAST Sequence it comes up with Stropharia rugosoannulata as a close match..hmm, that seems odd. Does anyone know how to decipher this stuff? Oddly enough, these blue-footers are growing in my wine-cap patch..

I've come to believe wine caps are a weed mushroom if they get ahold of an area. Very aggressive, eats lots of substrate and produces few mushrooms. They can get gigantic though.

That is exactly what it shows. Makes me question the P. caerulipes sample they had, its likely that a small Stropharia was deposited in the herbarium as P. caerulipes.
None of the other Psilocybes that I have run through blast showed that all the close matches were in another genus.
