Hello! This is my first post here, though I have been checking fairly religiously since finding these in my yard!!I believe the are P. ovoideocystidiata, but am having a hard time finding out much about them. I am pretty new at describing mushrooms, and hope my jargon isn't out of place! Any info is appreciated, and thanks much in advance for your time!Pictures are in my gallery, the only 4 there!
Habitat: Found in mulch (pine bark?) and grass at edge of lawn/mulch in the north facing flower bed under front porch (no gutters, gets pretty wet when it rains) Scranton,PA. Cespitose, and singular with 2 major clusters sprouting hugging the sides of a large rock. Gills: White/cream colored fading to dark tan/gray in maturity. Seem to be notched/adnexed
Stem: 4-8cm long, 3-7 mm wide.Shiny ivory colored and looks fibrilose, staining blue slowly or with age (remains quite shiny). Annulus closer to lower half of stem or absent, often tinged green/blue before stem shows color.Solid, though possibly hollowing in age? quite fiberous. Fairly equal, though usually wider near cap, also with somewhat bumpy irregularities near cap (though still smooth and shiny)
Cap: 1.5-6cm,starting out bellshaped to conical, tanish, with some remnants of veil (small white dots)on the margin of some specimens, margin inrolled, slight umbo. In age becoming broadly bell shaped and umbonate and developing a distinct (often dark)nipple on top. margin striate (when wet) and tinged blue/green at extreme edge. Caps staining blue, also some with blue dots that seem to emerge from (or be conjoined to)underside of cap. Viscid. Hygorphanous.
Spore print color: Dark purple/brown, drying a bit more black.
Bruising: All parts bruising blue. Other information: Found after some solid days of moderate to heavy rain. Mycelium clinging fairly tenatiously to substrate when removed.

what's a rule of thumb for the potency compared to other psilocybe species?

Roughly the same as the other potent woodlovers is my understanding.

Those are so conic, very unlike the broad umbos I'm used to seeing. Ovoids have a lot of variation.

Yeah. The acute umbo is weird. Weird lookin' shrooms! Nice find, Sourdough!
