I wish I could get lucky like this. Unknown active Psilocybe in a potted plant, some people have all the fun 
Really though I bet they are ovoids as well. Do you dig them out of the plant? If so, are they still growing?

I have them in some soil to see if I can get them to maturity for further identification. I'll get some pics up if it works out. I had them refrigerated and the stems showed quite a bit of blueing today. They definitely seem to be an active.

I did take protective measures in case it's something different that needs further research.

I'm a little suprised. The specimens are recovering from the replant in soil and continuing to mature. I'll get some photos once they make it a little further. Keep your fingers crossed. I'm really curious what the final ID will be...

If they are active that must be a once in a life time find! Has anyone ever heard of this?

Likely to be P. ovoideocystidiata.
Looks like a lot of the other collections from the west coast with the wavy gills.
It is rare to see these turn up in house plants.

Howdy Alan, let me clarify. These were found in an oleander pot which is outdoor. The oleanders were just your typical outdoor nursery grown plants. With the good progress I'm having, I should be able to get some spores for analysis. They are being quite the troopers after being torn from their little pot...we shall see. Apparently there is enough of the hyphal mat left for them to draw from to keep growing. I'm sure spore production is most important to them after the insult. The microscope awaits. 
Thanks for jumping in on this Alan.

Also save the dried cap so we can get pics of the pleurocystidia and cheilocystidia.

No problem, I'll preserve them. I took some macro pictures of the gills and cap that may be helpful. Here's a picture also of the noticeable growth. The foil is for some spore collection if they make it that far. One of the gill pictures also shows some dark speckles, could be the beginning of spore production...? You'll need to view the image full size to see it.

Hmmm. they look like they might die soon! Still beautiful.. cant believe they havent developed spores yet. Sterile maybe?

I could be wrong, but they sure looks sterile to me.

If these do turn out to be ovoideocystidiata i wouldn't necessarily say they are sterile just yet.Ive noticed that alot of older mature specimens still have the cream colored gills and will not drop spores for at least 24 hours after picking,but thats just my experience.Awesome find for sure and the sub sounds perfect for em .
Example,


I ended up getting prints from all these mushrooms,but not until at least 30 hours after picking.

Thanks for the info man.. didnt know that, and after looking at your pics of ovoids i'd say it's a good bet that's what he has.

Thanks for the pics avidpicker...that's helpful for sure. These do look like ovoids to me. It looks like at least one will make it to maturity and sporulate...pretty cool. The gills have darkened slightly.
Here's some more pics of the progress.

could just be shadowing, it looks like it's already dropping spores near the apex...
pretty awesome in any case!
