Largeish brown mushroom, U.K. Could anyone ID?
    #14482670 - 05/20/11 03:30 AM (12 years, 9 months ago)

Second time I have been out looking for mushrooms, more out of intrigue than anything else as Im not a fan of eating them :P

Was found in a wooded country park growing out of a log, next to some puffballs.

Here are some pics, hopefully quality is good enough:

Any info would be great, as I have absolutely no idea what this is!

Thanks.

A spore print would help. But at first glance, I'd lean towards pluteus. I only find pluteus sp. in late summer and early autumn though.

I agree.  Likely P. cervinus.

Thanks guys, doing a spore print now. I wikid the genus you suggested and it stated that some contain psylocybin so I bashed the stem about a bit with a spoon and left it on my windowsill to see what happens :P How long should the blue discolouring take would you say?

You do not have a psilocybin containing pluteus.

Pluteus salicinus is the species you read about but it is not common and not very potent.  Your mushroom looks like Pluteus cervinus.

Panaeolus cinctulus, which has a long season, is starting to come up on lawns and manure although they might want another week or two getting ready, but generally it is not the right time of year for magic mushrooms.  In the autumn you might find Psilocybe semilanceata in the sheep fields, or if you can find it Psilocybe cyanescens in wooded areas, both of which are strongly active.

This is not Pluteus salicinus. They aren't "largeish", they are small.
There are  thousands of species divided into hundreds of genera. A handful of these species is active. Stumbling about hoping that the random mushrooms you find are active is a futile endeavor.
Find out which mushrooms can be found where you are. Study their characteristics, study their habitats (some will only be found in forestal areas, some only in grassland), then go out, look for and eventually find them. That's how it works.

I wasnt actually looking for mushrooms for the psychoactive properties, just walking in the forest in the morning looking for different kinds of fungi because I think both they and the forest are very beautiful.

That's the spirit! :thumbup:
I love the forest, main mushroom season or not. Especially after a rain, when everything smells earthy and fresh.
I found a Pluteus yesterday, myself, by the way, right out in the open behind my garden gate, which is very strange, because it's been super dry and much too warm for the past three months and it wasn't even in the shade.

Any pic of the log-puffballs? They'll probably be Lycoperdon pyriforme, but they should not be growing there in spring.

They might not know that, though.
