Psilocybe baeocystis?
    #19090114 - 11/05/13 01:17 PM (10 years, 2 months ago)

Hey all.  I'm not even sure this is a Psilocybe.  I thought it might be a cyan at first, but the shape of the cap of the younger one made me think of the P. baeocystis photos I've seen.  Though it doesn't have nearly the same level of bruising that I would expect from a baeo.  Thoughts?

Habitat:
One of those manmade beds of native ferns and other shrubs in a park; substrate is a mixture of soil and wood chips.  Growing right in the center of a cluster of C. comatus.

Gills:
Same kind of brown as the cap.

Stem:
About the same dimensions as a cyan (which is what I thought it might be at first).  Stem color is lighter than cap and gills, i.e., off-white to light brown.

Cap:
Brown, 2-3.5cm in diameter, brown, flat in older specimens, "box-ily" convex in younger ones.

Spore print color:
I don't know yet

Bruising:
There is bruising at the top portion of the stem.  It looks dark blue-green to me.  Note that the black stuff near the base of the stipe is the C. comatus goo!

Check for a pellicule and and purple spores. Good luck, the last three images looks similar to P. baeocystis

Thanks maynard.  Hopefully I will be able to get one home intact and make a print.  There definitely seems to be a pellicule, though; I hope the photos below show that.  And there is some faint green-blue bruising.

:bongload::yesnod:

Take the print on aluminum foil in as clean conditions as possible so you can germ em on agar.

It might be bruising but could perhaps be traces of ink from the Coprinus. My eyes don't
percieve it to be blue enough, although I could be wrong.

I'd wait to see the color of the spore print.

Looks like some Coprinus, and a Deconica or Galerina.

Spore prints are in the works.  They're still faint but they look more purple-black to me than brown so far so I think I can rule out Galerina.

Also, I'm pretty sure there is blue bruising on these caps, thus ruling out Deconica (right?).  Or am I just seeing what I want to see?

That is a very interesting find, it is a Psilocybe species and has many macroscopic characteristics in common with P. makarorae, it is more than likely belonging in Section Aztecorum.

Maybe you could find more and make some more photographs.

Oh, you said native Ferns, can you identify those Ferns?

I looked for more, but alas 'twas was all I could find.  There were just two of these guys in the middle of a big schwack of shaggy mane with nothing but those yellow-orange conic Bolbitius sp. and Leratiomyces ceres in the vicinity.

Aztecorum family -- that would be interesting.  So that would make them baeocystis or quebecensis (or aztecorum if I were in Mexico) or ...?

I'm making spore prints and after that I'll dry the two I found.

I might be able to identify the ferns, were I to begin studying ferns and further elaborate my procrastination practices :smile:  You can see the fern leaves (if that's what they have) in pic 6 of the OP.
All I can tell you is that they were human-planted ferns.

I'd call them Psilocybe baeocystis if I found them, a second opinion never hurts.
