Yes, it's a very rare species, I've been waiting for someone to rediscover this mushroom, it's an exciting find! The species name literally means "strong smelling", it is supposedly close to P. zapotecorum but with larger spores. P. aucklandii is very similar to P. zapotecorum also but with narrower pleurocystidia and slightly wider spores. inski

Psilocybe graveolens (Peck)
Description: Cap: (10)20-30(40) mm in diam., convex to subumbonate, then expanded with a slight umbo or sometimes depressed at the center, glabrous, even but slightly striate at the margin when moist or when dry, hygrophanous, brownish fading to creamy white to subalutaceous, or pale orange brownish, with some dark greenish tones. Gills: adnexed, somewhat close, yellowish brown to chocolate-brown, edges same color or somewhat pallid. Stem: (20)40-60 by 2-5 mm, equal or somewhat thick towards the base or subbulbous, bluing, in dry conditions with dark violaceous tints, stuffed to hollow, white to brownish, silky fibrillose with white appressed to floccose fibrils from the veil. Base subhypogeous like pseudorhiza, covered by soil. Veil as arachnoid white fibrils, forming a very evanescent annulus in young stages.
Microscopic Features: Spores: (7)7.5-9.5(10.5) by (3.7)4.5-5.2(6) µm, ellipsoid or subellipsoid both in face and side view, yellowish brown, thin walled, with small apical distinct germ pore. Basidia: 21-26 by 6-7.5 µm, 4-spored , hyaline, subventricose or subcylindric. Pleurocystidia: 26-38 by 6-8 µm, hyaline, but some are pale brownish or yellowish brown, fusioid-ventricose, some with a short neck, or mucronate. Cheilocystidia: 12-22 by 5-8 µm, abundant, hyaline, sublageniform or lageniform, neck 2.4-4 µm broad somewhat flexuous. Habitat: Caespitose or gregarious on marshy soils in meadows. Fruiting in November. Known only from the type locality, collected around 1913. Distribution: U.S.A., New Jersey
Comments: The name means strong smelling. Close to P. zapotecorum Heim emend Guzmán but with larger spores.
Unlike the mostly subtropical/tropical species in section Zapotecorum, P. graveolens is a northern temperate species that fruits in November. The only other species in this section that fruits under similar conditions is P. aucklandii from New Zealand. Both species have nearly identically sized spores, comparable cystidia and the carpophores are described as similar in size, form and coloration. The only significant difference seems to be that P. graveolens has somewhat larger pleurocystidia of which a few may be brownish or yellowish.

I hope there are more in PA that just have to be found. The Ovoid find isn't even 10 years yet. And I vow to continue that search till the day I can't walk no more but maybe I'll just crawl then.

Keep looking and planning. Youll find something new eventually. In the past two years I found two species that were previously undiscovered in NJ (ovoidiocystidiata and nematoloformis)... imagine what else there is to find!

I will and I am recruiting other hunters. The crazy thing is my partner doesn't eat them and I rarely do anymore. We just respect the magic of all mushrooms

Same here, I rarely ever eat actives. Im very into collecting them though...im forming a collection of rare spores and tissue samples, and working on a few other projects as well...i guess for me the hunt is more about the trophy than the feast...unless we're talking about edibles

Dude that's awesome!!!!!
I live in NJ too and through the years I've occasionally heard people mention that there's "some active mushroom that only grows in them marshes up north" but I've never actually seen one.
NICE WORK!!!

I fully agree We have feasted this year for sure on edibles from Lion's Mane to Honeys. We just missed out on morels this year. The only one we didn't find that we were looking for.
