first time picking, possible p. cyans?
    #19017461 - 10/23/13 02:37 AM (10 years, 3 months ago)





Habitat: growing in my buddies backyard, under hazelnut tree? from dirt  and moss on roots,close to the base of the tree with lots of decaying debris. (leafs, nutshells, twigs, some moss, and some sawdust).also under a holly tree with lots of dead pine needles and in the tall weedy grass around it. i am in snohomish county in western washington by the way
Gills: gills are cinnamon brownish some a little darker/lighter, atached
Color, attached/not, gills/pores, etc.

Stem: stem is slender, about the size of cyans in the pics ive seen, some were kinda tall, a few in. white on the older looking ones off white  kinda white with tan hue


Cap:caps are wavy in most of the mature ones some stayed kinda flat on the smaller matures a few mushies almost look like azures
Diameter, color, texture, conical/spherical, convex/concave, etc.

Spore print color: spore print looks black to me but in the lighter areas some look dark purple and others look brownish


Bruising: all of them bruis blue, some darker than others. the ones that look like azures turn damn near black just from touching them on most the edge of the caps bruise the easiest


Other information: some of them seemed to light to be cyans the caps were like a tan/yellowish to light brown in center and some were the carmel color i was looking for. this is my first ever find so i was pretty stoked but didnt know what to expect as far as variations go but they bruised blue and looked overall like cyans to me. thanks in advance for all the help :smile:

Some prints will be heavier than others, but they should all be exactly the same color, purple-brown.

Make sure you see clear blue bruising on every specimen.

Congrats on the find. They are indeed P. cyanescens. Fyi: for the most part, the ones which 'look like azures' are immature.

The tan/yellow color is what happens to them when they begin to die out. It is called hygrophany, and is a feature of this and other mushrooms.

Attn PWN hunters: If you should come across a bluing Psilocybe matching P. pellicolusa please smell it.
If you detect a scent reminiscent of Anethole (anise) please preserve a specimen or two for study and please PM me.

As Candid has said, Psilocybe cyanescens

I find Psilocybe subaeruginosa with that bleached look all the time, just starting to dry out.  It shouldnt affect the potency.

double check for bluing, and good to go :thumbup:
