It's the undescribed Psilocybe species that belongs in Section Semilanceatae, it is very closely related to P. serbica var. moravica but the former species lacks pleurocystidia.

I disagree, I don't think it is P. subaeruginosa at all but a few blurry pics on the internet are far from enough information to make a definitive identification, it should remain as Psilocybe sp until a lot more taxonomic information is added to the observation.

Either way it is a Psilocybe species, old and manky as you say

I wouldn't consume them, they are too old, you could thoroughly dry them and make a tea I guess but you are probably better of finding some fresh specimens!

Oh they look quite old and manky from me being a tad rough with them and they are three days old, they were picked fast and thrown into a bag but when they were growing in the mulch they looked quite nice,
Also another thing i want to know is, are bigger ones more potent than smaller ones ?

I am not going to add anything to this thread lest I add to my image as a cynical grumpypoop. Maybe I should join a forum where people eat potentially undescribed or endangered animals instead.

People have eaten worse looking specimens ... they look pretty borderline.
Do yourself a favour and scrape the black off before you eat them.

When asking strangers on the internet to identify your mushrooms it's probably not a good idea to hassle the moderator of the Hunting forum.
He's got over 14,000 posts, and has the ability to permanently ban you.
