Thanks! I will keep searching! I should probably wait for the weather to warm up a bit.

well it is pretty cold right now, we are in the heart of winter. maybe once the weather warms up a bit i will see more. I saw a much bigger variety of mushrooms when I first moved here and it was late summer.

Could #4 be Mycena cyanorrhiza??? They leave a white spore print and are pretty translucent and grow on wood. This species is also said to be in my area. Could this be a match??

I am finding a very large variety in a cloud forest on a mountain next to my apartment. Problem is, a lot of the mushrooms I have found and IDed have never been recorded in Chile before and are species that have only been found in N.America and Europe, so it might get a bit tricky trying to find actives.

There are many interesting active mushrooms in Chile. A cloud forest sounds like an ideal place to look. Which elevation are you at?
Check The Genus Psilocybe by Gaston Guzman, he will list some semi-exact locations in Chile where his material that he studied came from.
For example, in the entry for Psilocybe zapotecorum, it says:
Chile: Colchagua, Pumanque, La ViƱita, Lazo
It says Psilocybe carbonaria is found in Valdivia, Cordillera, Pelada.
To find the rest of the locations look up the actives that grow in Chile (http://www.shroomery.org/8461/Which-psilocybin-mushrooms-grow-wild-in-my-area) and look each of the Psilocybe species up in The Genus Psilocybe,

Thanks again Alan! Do you know where I can read up online about exact locations by him? There is no way for me to get his book... Books are rare here, shipping is expensive and to find a book in english is almost impossible. As for elevation: 16m, 52' is what I found.

So you are right at sea level?
That is too low for most of the really interesting species (derrumbes), however you can find things like Gymnopilus, Panaeolus cinctulus and dung lovers everywhere.
