great thanks a lot ... just five minutes and already four or five new genuses (genera?) ..this is great
do you know if any are edible? the rhodocollybia (still in question) look fairly appetizing ...
also..the red ones which you thought were russula..is there a chance they are amanita species? Not really looking for muscarine mushrooms..just what I initially thought they might be

If they don't look like Russula underneath, then perhaps Gomphidius roseus?

god I wonder if these are ever active? do you see the small green spot on the cap of the one laying on its side? It is a psilocybe after all. Maybe the ones that were tested were not active but that doesn't mean that all patches are inactive, does it?

You definitely do not have any amanitas.
Psilocybe as it was defined for along time consisted of two genetically distinct clades. Only one of the clades had psilocybin in it. The inactive clade was split off in to Deconica. Members of Deconica will definitely not have psilocybin in them. They are not very closely related to the bluing psilocybes - hence the split.

ahh ok maybe not...am I to assume then that if I trip on them that, by definition, they are psilocybes even though they macroscopically are identical to deconica?

what about variation in species and genetic mutations? If they are the same genus that would mean that they share a common ancestor correct? I thought some active mushroom that in other locations were inactive.

psilocybe montana, in other words... even though I probably don't want to to take any..I am just confused as to how people come to a conclusion, especially on the internet about what a given specimen is...
for instance, is it more convenient to say that if what someone thought was a pan foe seems to cause strange enhanced light effects and strange mental impressions result without any other symptoms of poisoning or something, that they contain a psychoactive alkoloid, and it was probably psiloc(yb)in and (though it wasn't before) is now a pan subb

Deconica used to be called Psilocybe because they are macroscopically similar to bluing psilocybes, but they have no close genetic relation and the fact that they used to be placed in the genus Psilocybe is not a reason to think they are active.
Unless you suspect them to be a particular psilocybe species, you should not eat them. If they are Deconica montana (and I think that is a good ID) then there is no more chance that they will contain psilocybin than there is that any given random mushroom will contain psilocybin (and in fact probably less.)

They do not share a close common ancestor - that's exactly why they are no longer placed in the genus Psilocybe. Once we became able to do practical genetic testing on mushrooms, a lot of genuses were redefined.

don't listen to me I'm high, and I don't know what I am talking about I'm still new to this also. Don't eat them please, study them and have them tested, so when the next time you find them you will know if they are any good or not. Plus adding to scientific formation is pretty kickass.

This case is a little bit easier than pan foes vs pan subbs. Pan foes look an awful lot like pan subbs, but the specimens you posted do not closely resemble any psilocybin containing mushrooms that would currently be fruiting.

Ok..so if they do "contain psilocybin" which I don't have the equipment to determine, but they do cause qualitative mental differences and differences in vision, and thoughts which subjectively seem similar to what people claim the effects of psilocybe mushrooms are, are they psilocybes..that is the question
not that it is of much consequence ..sorry think I'm chasing a dying topic

if you go back and get a sample of them. take them to your nearest university mycology department and they can run tests on them.

Deconica are in Deconica precisely because they are not active but also I am not at all sure about the ID. I don't think you should bioassay either way, or trouble your local university to run tests. 
Don't know what Hygrocybes you have in Virginia but if I found that in the UK I would want to call it either H. insipida or H. laeta. It isn't one of the two mentioned in the post.
I agree with elprawn about the Russulas and about Rhodocollybia also, but something like R. prolixa. I found this key for species in NE USA if that is any help.

There are about 7 genera of mushrooms that contain psilocybin. The trait seems to have evolved independently several times.
Just because it has psilocybin does not throw it into the genus Psilocybe.

Frankly, i tried these after thinking they were safe and they seem to be what I would call active. stupid I know..but I trusted the people who said D. montana and thought that bruising (which is dark and purplish an a soppy, wet brown stem) might indicate psilocin or another oxidizing compound. When I say active, I just mean that there were different mental impressions, more light phenomena (perhaps just neural discharges..not forms other than bright perceptions light temporary headlight-like impressions, not strictly "seen", just perceived)..generally a weak version of what I imagine people experience from "active" mushrooms..but I only took 2 to 3 mushrooms..so I wasn't expecting much at all and the head buzz lasted 4 to 6 hours.

in the bottom photo, the mushroom split down the middle (maybe hard to see, but a pine needle is pointing at it), the color in the middle of the stalk is the color of the bruising..until they were handled/picked, there was a semi-dry membrane, sort of fibrillous that lightened the stalk color. Once handled, that membrane was pressed against the dark inner stalk and began to show through..not sure if that counts as bruising

basically just admitting to world that I rather inadvertently took hallucinogenic shrooms..but now they are basically rotted and some of the drier ones on the patch are a completely different color (basically indistinguishable from galerinas, to me) so I threw all those out
kept a few of them..

thanks - I was hoping to determine the edibility of 3 and 4 and it looks to be edible
might try a few because they looked appetizing and wikipedia says they are generally considered edible
