Help With Identifying PC
#19009313 - 10/21/13 04:25 PM (10 years, 4 months ago) |

Habitat: Where does it grow? Pasture, Arkansas, U.S. What does it grow on? On/in or around cow poop Gills: Black, when I pulled stem off the gills wanted to go off with it, gills
Stem: Thick, Short length 1-2 inches (maybe shorter)
Spore Print Color: Blackish- looks like a purple tint but it's hard to tell Bruising: greenish-bluish I believe
Other information: Smells like trippers I've taken before.





Not sure what these are below, but I would like to know any identification.

I've looked a lot for the white-cream colored mushroom with the black rim on the around the top edge of the cap. Haven't found it anywhere. Help is needed and appreciated. Thanks for your time!

Given the pictures, I have no advice other than try to keep the mushrooms in one piece for ID. And never use plastic bags.

Thanks for your input. Your advice will help me next time. The bags were just for convenience, since I didn't want to carry a basket or whatever. I tried to take pictures before I pulled them, but failed to do so with the ones I believe are Ps. Cubes. I got a spore print which I am going to try to grow from. I'm pretty convinced they're PC considering the smell and looks. I could be wrong though.

Print doesn't look particularly purple for either of 'em and I personally don't see any bruising, so I'd say not cubes, but it's hard to tell in the state they're in. You can probably tell better re: colors than we can though.

If anyone could tell me whether it is toxic, poisonous, etc. That would help a lot. Thanks.

Can you get a clearer photo of the bruising on the first ones?
The second ones are neither a common edible or a hallucinogenic mushroom. That's the best I can do there.

It is hard to tell what they are, and I do feel your pain. The little chunky things in your hand in the other thread right? I was toying with Stropharia coronilla if you want to compare.

I do remember seeing a kind of black veil around the stipe, that's what I related to seeing some pictures of PC and the color is similar. Thanks for your speculations!

I would say Leratiomyces percevalii for the second, except you're in Arkansas???

I'm not sure if either of those are it, but they do have similarities. Mine was a young specimen, and it had a black veil with black spores, and it looked greenish-blue to me when I bruised it. But then again I don't know for sure. It could be poisonous for all I know, but the smell just smells like some dried mushrooms I've ate before. I hope this helps in identification:

I am beginning to think I was just excited and I may have overestimated what I thought they were. I went ahead and trashed the Paps as I saw the black goup stuff that they turn in to.

Yeah, I'm in Arkansas. These were found in woods by a cow pasture where the cows were able to graze in the shade. An old area for the cattle, as they have been moved elsewhere.

I am seeing the blue in the cap. But I am not the guy to ID cubes.

The white-cream ones with the black rim were found around wood chips that's one thing I do know for sure. It was like a busted log from where a four wheeler had ran over it. It was on the side of a trail. There were a few of them, but only in that one spot. I didn't find any in any other part of the woods I was in.

Neither am I. I probably could if I were in a pasture when there are plenty of them. There were two of the one's I think are PC's. They were growing together, and weren't in an area with a lot of sunlight. They were growing in the edge of the woods by the pasture. Thanks for helping me get further identification. Every bit of advice goes a long way in helping me. They have a choclatey-mushroom smell to them, and the smell isn't bad at all. Almost like I could just eat em now, but that would be foolish right? I have plenty of patience since I have learned that a reckless decision isn't the way to go in shrooming, unless of course they're grown, and known by myself. I think I'm just going to resort to growing them myself. I'll start with a kit until I can get the supplies I need to cultivate them myself. Then I can get all the spore prints I need for when I do get the goods required. I'm getting a microscope soon which will help in further identification of my uncertainties.

Those are better shots for sure. I also see some signs of blue bruising. I think perhaps your hunch was right. Wait for some cube hunters to weigh in, I do not have the privilege of picking them where I live.
Check that field again before it gets too cold and see what else you can find.

I will check for sure when I get back around that area. I have another pasture that I'm going to be checking as well that is more north from that area. I'm wanting to see how large of a variety I can find around here. I can't find much on magic mushrooms around here, and there are many that I certainly can't find in pictures. I usually find Amanita Muscarias from now until the end of December. Last year I found some, but I never tried them as I didn't know a good method of drying at that time. I can tell amanita muscarias for sure though. That was the first magic mushroom I've found. Whether they're magic or not, mushrooms are definetly beautiful in every aspect. And truly interesting and amusing as well. I think I'll find many more this coming summer/spring/autumn and I'm going to do some looking around this winter to see what other kinds I can find around that like the cold climate as well as snow.

Does anyone else know anything about these mushrooms I posted a picture of? Maybe someone will be able to identify better with the other shots I took.
