Went out for a walk in some new woodlands today, but it's been too dry ofr the past few days. However, found a smattering of fungi, first up yesterday was some Hydnum repandum in the same patch I found some H. rubescens last week:
  Hydnum repandum (Hedgehog mushroom)
The above all buttered up...:

Also found some Blushers:
   Amantia rubescens (The Blusher)
And a large cluster of Dryad's Saddles, but only picked the smaller ones... some say the bigger ones are good for making paper, which might be good for a it of art Might go back and get 'em:
    Polyporus sqamosus (Dryad's saddle)
Also found these which I thought might be a Pscilocybe cintulus after I did some research on them this morning, but pretty sure they'ye not...not at ome with my books but if anyone wants a guess... Printing at the mo, found at the base of an Alder tree near a very muddy pond edge. Ranging up to 10cm height, 3/4cm wide cap:
   Sorry for the low quality res, misatkenly had the pic quality on low 
Handsome little unknown shroom, didn't manage to take one home, but groing on deciduous & pine mix, appro 10cm tall, 4cm wide, slightly viscous cap:

Also found this little orange fellow:
  Haven't got a clue what it is...
Feel free to chime in with any ID's. The weather here is too dry for good cropping yet, but where I'm going soon it's been raining for a few days...
Happy hunting

Your possible Psilocybes look more like Laccaria.
The next one generally looks like a Tricholoma. A spore print would be important to verify the genus.
The last one is a slime mold, Lycogalla epidendrum.
Hydnums are great eating! Good stuff there.
-------------------- Happy mushrooming!

"Pscilocybe cintulus" is not an existing species. Perhaps you mean panaeolus cintulus--which your possibles are not.
Those hedgehogs look mighty tasty.

My mistake, Paneolus cinctulus.
Prints from the likely Laccaria have come out a pale gingery brown. Not sure I want to hazard a keyed guess at which variety.
I've not had a go at making the dryad paper, but it looks as if you just mush it up, and use like wood pulp. I've not found any good instructions yet, let me know if you do!
