cool deal, hope you get a print IDed confirming it.
Question; in the pics the habitat looks partly shaded, are these "marshy meadows" like clearings in the woods or more of a marshy field that borders the woods or something else(near river or lake etc?) Just want to try to pin down some potential areas.

More specimens more pictures... Wish I had time to write more. Notice that the specimens found growing directly from sodden marsh ground are olive green. They almost appear to be a completely different mushroom from those that are found growing on reed clumps 1 foot or more above water level. It should also be noted that the marsh ground is so wet and...marshy?...that If i were to step foot on it I would sink to my chest (that's saying a lot because im a big fella. Also notice what appears to be a salt deposit ring on the macro shots. Im finding that as the deep marsh specimens dry, most are developing this ring...absolutely amazing in my book!

You are an incredible hunter and this is a unique find. Why? How many people go mushroom hunting in a habitat like that? Not many. Not to be a wet blanket but this doesn't excite me too much, not nearly as much as your other rare finds anyway. We have a lot in common.
Still mad props to you. You certainly deserve them.

Me too, haha.
Fucking incredible find man, I too was under the impression that this species was extinct. Proves the resilience of mushrooms in the face of habitat destruction. Really really fucking incredible!!!
No less than a couple of years ago, magic mushrooms hadn't been found in this state for who knows how long, but as of late, NJ is really starting to become an active mycohaven...I'm fucking psyched!!

Thanks guys. Mr. Mushrooms, I agree that the find is so rare in part because of its habitat...its not only hell getting to them, but they are ridiculously hard to spot when you're there...however; i wouldn't be surprised in the least if you understand what I mean when I say my brain has learned the pattern by which to scan for them .
Workman and Alan are working on the identification.
I think that the other rare finds Mr. Mushrooms was referring too are the NJ ovoidiocystidiata (around 2 years ago) nematoloformis (around 1 year ago) careulepes (around 4 months ago) and some other cool finds.
Im holding back on any specific/potentially revealing info regarding the habitat for now.

that's how i feel about P. pelliculosa and others. though in my case, my soaking wet hands and knees learned the pattern aswell.
i wonder how many of the hikers/joggers/dog-walkers who have passed me by assumed i had lost my mind. most i hope.
-------------------- 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.

I hope you'll change your mind on that, at least in a general sense. It would be nice to know exactly the type of habitat that this species thrives, and apparently is essential for it to even exist, since it seems to be so rare. At least from my perspective. I understand your reservations though, I think a species like this is best left alone for the most part, except for those who are truly seeking it.

Just think of how cool it must be to eat something that hasn't been knowingly harvested in almost 100 years... in New Jersey...
...of course some have to be sacrificed for the sake of science but I'm talking about the leftovers

Thanks again for the props guys; Im not planning on eating any for now, its way too important for me to make sure that I have a suitable amount of samples...plus im not sure if these are even active, as ive come to the conclusion that the bruising that I thought I saw was an illusion- none have bruised since. to be honest the consistant lack of bruising is the only thing making me doubt that these are in fact graveolens.

Yes, I am referring to those mushrooms. There are many types of mushroom hunters. Some are "lookers." They go to the woods like they're out to see whatever they can see. Sometimes they actually find unique mushrooms, mostly by accident. Some are hunters that hunt for mushrooms. They may be on a specific hunt for a specific mushroom and sometimes they even find them. Others are "finders." They look for a specific mushroom until they find it, even if it takes years. Everyone has a different level of skill.
From the unique finds you've made and your approach to hunting I'd say you're one of the best hunters we have.
Thanks for all your contributions to mycology and the Shroomery.
