Please compare the brown to have to something everybody might know. For example, is it darker or lighter than cinnamon?

Are the caps as slimy as they look?

What were they growing on?

At first glance they look like a Stropharia species.

Happy mushrooming!

Most likely Stropharia caerulea or Stropharia aeruginosa.  Some classify them in the genus Psilocybe but they're inactive AFAIK.  They look cool though :smile: .

will try with my english :smile: spore print a little bit darker then cinnamon - light purplish-brown i would say.
the caps is very slimy with blue-green gelatinous pellicle.
they were growing on leaf litter in a park.
i've checked some descriptions on stropharia and they quite match.
btw it says that they edible in Europe so may be i should just eat them :smile:
thanks a lot guys.

I wouldn't eat them...

From http://www.bluewillowpages.com/mushroomexpert/stropharia_aeruginosa.html
"Stropharia aeruginosa is listed as "suspect" and "not recommended" in field guides; however, Lincoff (1992) says that although it "has long been suspected of being poisonous . . . there is no evidence to support this belief" (726). I'm certainly not going to recommend it--and anyway, it's so slimy that I can't imagine it would make very pleasant eating."

They didn't smell good at all last I found some either...

Won't most guides list a psilocybin containing mushroom as being poisonous?
These look a lot like the tentative Ps. Caerulipes Ganja found last season ganjas caerulipes

Well, I referred to Psilocybin Mushrooms of the World as well, which says "Activity suspected but not known." then later "Analyses of specimens from Washington found no psilocybin or psilocin. I know of people who have eaten this species with no effects.  In Europe it is thought to be edible.  Since the consumability of this species is questioned, caution is advised until the biochemistry of this species is studied further".  I found some last year at a very large expanse of woodchips you have been to :lipsrsealed:.  Pretty positive they're the same species.  These don't bruise blue, they grow that color.

i do not beleive this species [or relatives] to be active at all.
i i have heard speculation that the enzyme suspected for ozidizing the psilocybian conpounds in acitve species may also be present in this species and merely oxidize other compounds to produce the blueing effect.

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.

Fair enough. I didn't mean to suggest consumption or anything just that they have such a psilocybe look to them. Do you know of any other active chemicals that would stain blue and have an appearance such as this?

Edit thanks concrete, I guess that'll answer it.
