WEll as usual I was not looking for mushrooms. Saw a new lawn on Capital Hill and found this loan P. baocystis in it.
I did not have a camera with me wo I went to the copy shop and placed it on a scanner. Thus the image below.

I do not know much about P. baocystis, maybe you could fill me in. Looks active to me... am I wrong? What part of the country do you live in?
Thanks

P. baeocystis otherwise known as 'blue fuckers' are a potent northwest strain that was originally discover in Eugen, Oregon in the middle 1940s.
When fresh two shrooms approx four inches tall in grass will fry someone, they lose over 1/2 to 2/3rds their potency in natural drying.
Once it was thought that this shroom was the cause of death in a six-year-old boy so many books labeld it as toxic/poisonous and/or poisonous/hallucinogenic.
Furthermore an alleged look-a-like speciies was erroneously identified as Psilocybe strictipes and as of now is was really a synonom for Psilocyeb callosa and looked nothing like the P. baeocystis.
For many years it was misidentified and described as a dangerous mushroom and the cause of Breathing difficulties in those who ate them.
In the summer months from June-July until September, this shroom which is also found in pastures (rare) can be abundant in some lawns and/or a few mixed in with hundreds of P. stuntzii and P. fimetaria patches.
In the later part of the season the P. baeocystis appears in woodchips in garden bed boxes and iin mulched areas in parks and publisc places in the PNW.
It loves Rose bushes and often has a symbiotic relationship ith certain vascular plants. AS do P. cyanescens and several other PNW woodlovers. ALder that is.

Nice find MJ, would you say that baeos live in about the same habitats as stunzii or what would the differences be?

Very cool find MJ!! I have never seen a baeocystis on a lawn let alone a lawn in the very late spring. Odd it fruited that well after our big heat wave. Keep up the good work. That cap color looks a little tan to be a baeo but i will take your word on it.

When the rainscome there should be some shrooms popping up. baeos can be found in well manicured lawns or new lawns in the sod. Usually they can be a few baeos iin a lawn of stuntzii. SOmetimes one can find a baeo lawn where there are nothing but baeos. I had a small one four years ago. Turned about three people onto it and they cleaned it out on me by bringinhg their friends to it.

The weather is hot enough now for a good three day rain tobring up blue ringers somewher einthe region and also possibly some Baeocystis. More common now in suburbs than inthe city, although they are here. Two years ago I went shrooming with a fellow formthe shroomery. We atualy went out about 12 times. drove hundreds of miles in and around the city. Found nothing. Drove to his house in Kent and parked and the condo next door to his was loaded with blue ringers.
Hehehehe.

If you are in Seattle ther eis no need to go to Oregon which is 175 miles south of Seattle. There are 18 species of magic mushrooms int he Seattle area. By my book, Magic Mushrooms of the Pacific Northwest.
It has 12 colored photos and 35 black and white.
