nice. I have a couple places I haven't been to in years I wanted to scout the general area around.

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.

Is this in a planter of yours that you've been supplementing with moisture?

Found these this morning in the East Bay. I think they're Psilocybe allenii. Irrigated.

Can't wait to get some more rain up here in the bay! How are the irrigated spots looking so far?

Ps. allenii confirmed at eastern boundary of 925 in irrigated woodchips.
Sorry I don't have any good pics yet.

It might be good to compare this collection to Psilocybe allenii and maybe Psilocybe ovoideocystidiata.

Thank you both! I think the annulus is exaggerated in the photo...because of how tiny the mushrooms are in real life. I based my i.d. on the look of the smallest mushroom. See its habitat shot below.

A lot of Psilocybes look identical at a young age. I doubt very much that they are cyanescens. Cool finds though!

I've found that P. allenii lacks waviness in the cap when young. See the photos of my previous find in this thread.
