Northeastern Alabama ID Request (#3)
    #20555830 -

Specimen #1:

Habitat: Found Growing in a cow pasture in Northeastern Alabama, USA.The altitude is approximately: 900 feet above sea level. It was found living in grass taller than the specimen in question. (Grass estimated 2-8 inches.) The substrate would presumably be the fertilized ground from a cow patty once laid, due to no trees being too close to the area of finding.


Gills: The gills looked like a mixture of black/purple. The gills are attached to the stem. The gills are seemingly adnate.


Stem: The stem was a faded, cream color. It also had a purple colored skirt. It's diameter was an estimated 1 centimeter at most, and its length was around 6-7 centimeters. (Including the part that wasn't cut in the field.) The texture of the inner stem was string-like. The specimen seems to have a hollow stem. It also appears to be rather thin.


Cap: A golden color residing at the center of the cap, then fading to a darker hue as you look toward its perimeter. Other than being slightly slimy, the texture had no notable features. The cap's diameter is approximately 5 centimeters. The cap is seemingly convex/flat.


Spore print color: Presumably, a black/purple color.


Bruising: The mushroom's stem bruised blue very shortly after it was damaged/injured.

Other information: It was found on Thursday, September 11th, 2014. It was found and picked around 10:30 P.M. It also rained the day of finding. I also should note that there was a slightly farinaceous odor produced from the mushroom. (The best way I can describe the smell it that is was 'earthly' and 'natural'.) This specimen was also found growing solitary.


[Pretty sure that this specimen is a possibly over-mature Psilocybe Cubensis? Haven't came across a Psilocybe Cubensis that has resembled this particular specimen; however, this is only my third I.D. Request, so help would greatly be appreciated!]

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.
