Panaeolus alcidis, a rare species on moose dung (updated Feb 21 with microscope photos) 3

This is what I think is Panaeolus alcidis. Growing in huge numbers from moose dung in Sweden. Only known from Scandinavia and Canada.
See http://www.jstor.org/pss/3793340 for references and http://www.myra.nu/SmyraSG-3180.html for another photo.

Whatever those are, your shots of them are stunning!

The one in the first post. hmm.. or is it.. I don't know.
BothHands:
I don't think they ever have been analyzed, but I don't think so, because they are close related to the inactives.
Thanks for the vote I thought I had a rare enough photo there (claviceps purpurea stroma) to have an easy victory, or at least top 3, but it's often photos with colorful mushrooms or blurry photos (macro with low f-value) that attract peoples feelings and get more votes... I'm not complaining now, just making a note of users behavior.
I didn't think I would get nominated for this.. is highly random, not predictable. I thought this one of my c. cyanopus would get nominated, but apparently everyone missed it

Thanks. No, I and didn't collect any samples. If the interest is great enough from the community, perhaps I'll do it and mail it.

It just depends on people. There were some beautiful pictures there, and I had a hard time making my choice. In the end, I voted for the claviceps for the reasons you mentioned. But some of the others were "prettier." The one that did win was also an incredible picture, and it was my second choice.

Here ^
But I'd probably be a bit sore if I lost with that claviceps picture too. It's something that might never come around here again. It was definitely a worthy picture.
But psylosymon's picture was also amazing, and he won a fair vote. It was also a picture worth winning.

psylosymonreturns: No, I'm not dissing it. I actually liked it very much and was about to nominate it (or another picture in that series) but saw that someone else already did. but I voted for Psilocybe caerulipes by The Thinker and vjp because that was an unusual psychoactive species and a beautiful photo.
I'm just making a a note about what gets nominated and how people tend to vote... Not angry, not sad, just observing.
jet li: Haha, yeah.. they are pretty huh? And they are worth money even without mushrooms on them. There is an urban legend from when I was a kid that you could pick them, dip them in lacquer and sell to Germans for about $1 a piece. I don't know if it actually ever happened but I know that german tourist in Sweden, traveling with their motor homes often have stickers of moose on them and seeing a moose on their vacation is like the best thing that could happen, and during the summer many moose warning signs along the roads get stolen by people loving this (for them) exotic animal. Moose dung might be an attractive souvenir...
*looking around a bit with google*
Oh... It's not an urban legend. Here is a key ring with moose dung http://files.marianova.com/files/imagecache/normal/files/3272/a519d3f698b4068178840983943a7d7c.jpg and why not invest in paper made from it? http://www.cariann-of-sweden.com/paper10_.html or this pair of lovely ear rings (not from Sweden but I read it is popular as souvenirs also) http://www.unforgettable-jewelry.com/columbiaSC/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/moose-poop.jpg
