I saw pictures of a whole cluster P.Semilanceata fruiting directly from some animal poo. It was a thread about it in a swedish forum back in 2012. And it was Psilocybe semilanceata, im 100% sure of it having picked thousands of them. We thought it was odd it fruiting directly on the poo like that.
In fact i have always thought P.Semilanceata has some connection to dung. Where they grow in suburb areas over here they tend to grow grass lawns who has been newly laid out or grass lawn sown previous year. Then they grow on these for a few years with declining numbers. Just if they use up the nutrients or fertilizers in the soil. And they always use animal poo of some sort as a fertilizer. So P.Semilanceata is probably a dung lover, at least partially.

Intresting.
It wouldn´t suprice me if P.semilanceata has a few different sub varietys and that P.semilanceata and similar psilocybes are just same base mushroom that evolved to do well in their growing habitat. How much must a mushroom change/evolve to be considered a new one?

So if for example a mycel of say Psilocybe Cubensis variation Maztapec were grown on the same agarplate as Psilocybe Cubensis variation Golden teacher, the two would not form a barrier when they meet and mix smoothly as both are Psilocybe Cubensis? They have probably grown separatley for many years and had time to adapt/evolve a bit of ther own. But this should not matter then and no barrier form, that is intresting as it can be used as a tool to differentiate 2 mushrooms, just as you say.
Too bad my myco refridgerator has broken down, maybe i try this when i get a new one. I think i have some spores of both P.semilanceata and P.hispanica.

But mushrooms evolve, change, adapt with time and environment. So at some point they must have changed so much a new mushroom is developed. Or it has at least changed enough to make a barrier on the agarplate. Is´t that how every mushroom has allways been created?
