Psilocybe Subaeruginosa (Golden Top) Identification Confirmation - Req'd
#21616528 - 04/30/15 07:13 AM (9 years, 20 days ago) |

Habitat: I found these guys on some thick woodchips in the front yard.


Gills: Dark, attached.

Stem: Length ~40-60mm, diameter ~8-10mm, color - whitish, turned bluish when pinched.

Cap: See image.
Spore print color: Dark (See image)

Bruising: Bluish after 10-15mins

I've seen them before but only when they were dried and smaller ones in cow dung some time ago. As i live in Canberra there are lots of toxic mushrooms (mainly white gilled types) to be aware of. I feel ok that these are Psilocybe Subaeruginosa type but i would really love some extra opinions plus information on anything relating to this as i'm a bit of a new mushroom enthusiast, i've also heard these can be confused with a toxic mushroom 'Genus Cortinarius' but i've never had the oppurtunity to compare the two.

Yeah! Thats what I'm talking about! Very beautiful mushrooms.  Very excellent ID request too. I am from Florida and we don't get this species, but they are pretty distinct. It brings me great joy to see other people finding actives in their own yard! This is like the third time I've seen someone find an active in their own yard not counting my self

UPDATE I had a further look in the yard and came across these beauties!!!
All the information i've learned so far suggests to me these are of course, Psi-Subs (Group C). I found Sample-A&B however at the university and about 300mm apart, Sample A however does not bruise nor have that unique glow that the other golden tops have so i'm interested to know what it is exactly as the spore prints from eye look almost identical, could it be the 'Genus Cortinarius'? does anyone know?

Sample B & C are subs, not sure about your sample A. Print looks alright, stem doesn't. I'd personally chuck it, If in doubt chuck it out. Saves a trip to hospital.
