I found about 100 today 
I only had the mobile phone camera available (except the last two) unfortunately, but I think I got some good photos anyway. Today, I came to the conclusion that smelling the mushrooms are best for identification. The smell is even stronger than liberty caps, but the same odor.
I have sent samples to Jan Borovicka now. It's will be very nice to know if this really is P. medullosa. I still have some doubts (P. pelliculosa or some Deconica is IMO still possible after reviewing a lot of photos).

With some liberty caps:

I think the ones on the right are some other species

Same with the one on the right here... probably the same species I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, no smell:

A nice collection. The last two shows the difference before/after drying 5 hours:

So, what is this? A Galerina?

I think I identified this species now. Galerina stylifera. What do you think?

Galerina ID's to species usually require microscopy.

Knarkkorven, how's the weather in Sweden? Your photos made me think that I should still check my spot. Estonia weather is +10c day and 0 or below at night.

Between +6 and +10. And we finally got some rain, October was very dry in Scandinavia (and I guess you had the same in Estonia?). The Stockholm region had the lowest recorded rain fall since the measurements started in 1786.

Some P. medullosa from today:

Here is a comparison with the Galeria (bottom row). The similarity is scary:

It was really wet today and I managed to get a photo of the very faint pellicle, it breaks after just a couple of milimeters, not like the libery caps that can be stretched more:

Good work and great find. They look tricky. Mature specimens look easier to ID as a Psilocybe species with the darker gills.

I'd like to find those. They come up thick in a small area. Photo 2 with the three mushrooms reminds me of darker specimens of P.alutacea I'm finding. Any news about potency scientific or otherwise?

Me too. I'm hardly likely to find them in my region though.They seem to better like the eastern inland parts of my country.
But - optimistic as ever, the hunt goes on... and KK's find is extremely inspiring.

ST1R from Estonia who posted some photos in this thread told me in a PM that:
Quote:
my friend ate 10g of p.medullosas. He said that the trip was weak. I think 20g of P.medulossas equals 2g of p.semilanceata.
...which is pretty weak, just as we speculated in this thread. But we will know for sure when the potency study is completed.
