Sweet find!
The size seems a little big and the appearance doesn't seem right for Psilocybe naematoliformis. Could be ovoids...Can you give us more info on habit and habitat? Any more pics? What color do they dry?

Too far south to be Psilocybe ovoideocystidiata I would think.. They dry white. Also subbulbous. In a low area that stays wet most of the year near a small creek. We just got a good amount of rain. They were in small clumps and alone, the ground was very very saturated

This is seriously an epic find. If P. ovoidcystidiata does extend this far south, this interests me as I am directly in the range.

The season and the annulus point to ovoids. This would be the first find from GA that I know of.

The annulus almost goes away as they mature, the photographed one was the only obvious annulus I saw. They do look very much alike though...

That's about right for ovoid annuli.

I drove with the paper bag they were in open as well as the windows.

Not ovoids. Ovoids don't grow in GA. P.weilii have so many different appearances. They literally come in all size, shape, and color. Furthermore.. they can, and often do look very very similar to ovoids. If they were ovoids, that'd be cool, since it's in GA.
But I think it's just an early Weilii .

Spores are very strong and can travel far.
Well I'm definitely going to be searching by creeks more often as I'm in Whitfi3ld Co. This is a good day for Shroomery.

I don't know. It could be as they have been found at this time of year, but I'd love to remain hopeful and potentially add another species to the list in this state. As soon as some microscopic work on the gills and spores gets done, the data will point in one direction or another.

Hrmm good point weiliigod! Still would like to get the spores under a microscope just to be 100%
