Growing with Libs
    #13291951 - 10/05/10 02:56 AM (13 years, 4 months ago)

I was out picking Lib-Caps this Sunday, I saw a different species of mushroom growing amongst the Libs and I wondered what it might be.  These cream coloured mushys were very slimy and sticky they’re shown in the pictures next to three Libs for comparison, the spore print is blackish with maybe just a slight hint of purple?  I wonder what they could be?

those look like Psilocybe fimetaria

when they have dried out a tad [when the color has started to fade] inspect them for bluing.

from where i'm sitting, the print doesn't look anything like black. it looks like dark purple.

If you detect a scent reminiscent of Anethole (anise) please preserve a specimen or two for study and please PM me.

Stropharia semiglobata.
The glutinous partial veil is a dead give away.

I searched the forum and it looks like they might be Stropharia semiglobata -apparently an inactive shroom :frown: such a pity though because there was tons of em, could have filed a carrier bag, they are a very pretty looking little mushroom too I think.  Yep I’m convinced there’s a touch of purple in the print canid.

Look like semiglobatas to me too. You can eat them if you want - not toxic but pretty pointless. Eat some Parasols or Boletes or Puffballs or something if you want edibles.

Agreed on the ID, the thread title sounded like it was about a really cool documentary.

Sorry to disappoint Joie lol.

Funny you should mention Boletes Lanceata! I just been out cycling, and as I passed an area of waste ground where loads of silver birch grow I saw some people walking about with plastic carrier bags full of something or other, I suspected ‘mushrooms’, I seen folk doing this before, so I asked what was being searched for; the bloke showed me a big brown mushroom, I think it was a Boletes, I said don’t you collect the Christmas Mushrooms too? he said in a foreign sounding voice “NOOO to sweet” I laughed and said “mind blowing as well I bet”.

I’m sure these Boletes were being collected to be sold as gourmet food or something, I wish I knew where they get sold and what the price is.

i know you're a TI, but i'm not sure I agree. The color doesn't look right to me.

This is a good learning opportunity - any psilocybes with the same feature inski? spore print would be pretty much the same given the similarity of the species so how does one differentiate? Most semi's that i've seen have yellow caps, and that's why I'm confused on this one. The more caramel color I see makes me think P something...

davide the pics dont show how yellow these mushys actually were, light creamy yellow in fact... it was also a dusky cloudy evening when we saw them amongst the Libs we was picking; looking at pics of mushys online I can see how difficult it is to do an i.d this way and then there's the unintelligible names the individual mushroom species have and how similar some are to each other, still fun though :smile:

regardless the TI saw the same pics I did and saw stropharia, and so I want to know why given the color (he didn't see yellow either) and how one would differentiate. What would be the closest Psilocybe and what features would delineate?

Inski?

I don't really have much faith in the colour portrayed in a lot of images I see on the computer so I rely on shape and texture more often than colour, as I said, the glutinous partial veil and overall glutinous texture of the fruit bodies is what convinced me, plus I've seen this mushroom enough times to be able to be confident about identifying it from photographs alone, there are a few Psilocybe species that resemble S. semiglobata in shape but none that are glutinous.

The most recent deprecated synonym is Psilocybe semiglobata.

Thank you Inski! Can you define/describe "glutinous" for me?

Yes, glutinous refers to a sticky glue like substance.
