Hi all,
I'm probably wasting your time since the season here is long gone, but I found these guys and wondered if they were anything. Any help greatly appreciated. Cheers!
Habitat: Grass, in a park.
Gills: medium-dark brown, attached.
Stem: About 2-3cm long, 1-2mm in diameter, copper-brown in color, solid but a little squishy.
Cap: between 1cm to 2.5cm in diameter, light brown color like a portabello, smooth texture, conical.
Spore print color: Waiting for them to drop.
Bruising: the stems darkened after pinching, but no blueing.
Smell: like wet earth.

Ah, the mower's mushroom. That makes sense, given where they were.
So, from what I'm reading, they may or may not contain minute amounts of psilocybin, depending on who you talk to?

No, no good chemicals in any appreciable amount.
p sure the best educated guess that i've seen regarding psychoactivity is that any samples that did test positive for anything psychoactive might have been mixed collections. meaning, there were probably pan cyans in the collection of pan foe that was tested.
ETA: pan cinctulus, not pan cyan. need moar coffee.

Was that the 1980 paper from Dublin? Hadley or something? I've always wondered where that assertion came from.

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.

They contain 0 psilocybin. Perhaps some 5htp and related tryptamines that are inactive but might be mild antidepressants.

In the early days of psilocybin mushroom chemical testing there were many false positives, and the errors got copied by many authors.
