Pholiotina cyanopus in Maine!!! 1

I just found this in grass a few minutes ago and I'm pretty pumped since this would be the first record of it for Maine AFAIK. It definitely bruised light blue at the base of the stem. I'm gonna try and spore print it. Here are some pics:

I'm printing it right now. Couldn't find any aluminum foil so I'm printing it on paper. I'm definitely gonna check for more later.

Thanks! Do you guys think that these could be grown using techniques for Panaeolus species?

what made you decide on cyanopus (which hasn't been observed in the east) when Conocybe smithii should be in Maine? I advise caution. Many mushrooms look like they bruise blue that are not active. That isn't quite the blue I usually see on active species, but for the locale, I'd take smithii over cyanopus anyday

I also think that smithii is a more likely than cyanopus. They look a lot like the Pholiotina (Conocybe) smithii that I've found on the west coast. Isn't cyanopus supposed to be taller and larger?

I guess you won't be throwing these down the hatch too soon, you could save at least some for further inquiries and thus get to the bottom of it.

I once found what I believe to be Conocybe cyanopus. They looked exactly like this pic.

Shouldn't a species with "cyan" as a name be oxidizing a lot more than just a very light blue on its base ...?

Pholiotina smithii and P. cyanopus have both been reported from New York, but I really just guessed to decide which one to call it in this post. It definitely bruised blue though. The pictures I took weren't very good. I don't plan on eating this since it's important as a voucher specimen and I don't have enough to trip.

I guessed since I wasn't sure what macro features I could use to differentiate them.
Here's a link to my MO observation for this if anyone wants to vote on it.

Cool. Will do then. Do you still have the same address? I've been planning to get the microscope you recommended last time and I'm probably gonna get it in September when I'm back home.

I assume I found Cyanopus since it was listed as a Colorado active. Very small patch on grass but the surrounding trees might have provided leaf debris etc. that they found a good habitat.
And, yes, there wasn't much...but enough to micro-dose and get a good state of mind.

Nice find!
The active pholiotinas seems to be hard to grow. You're lucky to have them in your (?) yard.
