I think I *dung* found me some 'shrooms in North Carolina!

Okay, okay. Maybe it's not Psilocybe Cubensis, but I just can't be for certain -- hence my reasoning for creating this post!

I've followed this site and others for the last year or so (yes, still a n00b), and it seems this batch of young fungus meets some agreed-upon, popular criteria.

Recent rain storms in the Charlotte, NC-area, and temperatures ranging from the 70s to 90s motivated me to crawl through a few cow pastures under the cover of darkness last night, and this is what I found (pics organized in "like" groupings, from "A" to "E").

I do solemnly swear to have done my best to read and follow all the proper protocols in posting for the first time to this site. That said, thank you in advance for your expertise, wisdom and kindness.

Habitat:
(Charlotte, NC - USA) Tall(ish) and damp grass patches, near or next-to dung in local cow pasture.

Gills:
Young; closed; none noted.

Stem:
Average 2" in length, 1/8" or less in diameter, creamy to brown, faint bruising in color (and I swear that as their drying, I see a very slight gray/purplish hue near the caps), with noticeable veils appearing close to the cap.

Cap:
1/2" or less in diameter, light tan-colored with bronze hue at the top. Small bell-shaped.

Spore print color:
None detected.

Bruising:
slight gray, to very slight purple.

Third Installment ("C") - you guessed it, found in the same cow pastures on the same dark and damp night.

And the more I look at these, I'm pretty sure they are the same mushroom as "A", just further matured.

Those are Chlorophyllum Molybdites. Not psychoactive, and somewhat poisonous. Do not eat them.

Psilocybe Cubensis have a roughly similar shape and size but have a tan cap that fades from darker to lighter from the center out, generally thicker stem, and the black spores make the gills black, and they'll bruise blue if you damage them:



Just about anywhere you can find Cubensis, there's a good chance C. Molybdites also grows there. But they're easy to differentiate once you've found a Cube and you know what you're looking for.

I don't see any/much bruising or a nipple. Don't consume. Also wait for a trusted member for further analysis.

@morrowasted - Thank you kindly. Your insight is invaluable; your willingness to educate, a blessing.

And hey, at least I'm learning which I think is better than remaining idle (and a helluva lot better than scarfing down some poisonous mushies unwittingly!).

@gwenpool - Thank you as well for your support and experience - it is truly appreciated!

If it's cubes you're after, so far the few I've picked all have had a veil on the stem that is dark blueish/black on top and light on the bottom. I don't know if this will always be the case, but hopefully it helps!

Also, here's an example

Just out of curiosity, which ones are Agaricus? B?

@morrowasted - I'd like to take a crack @ this one - consider it a n00bish attempt @ overachieving on my own thread. My educated guess is that "A" and "C" are those pesky C. Molybdites and that "B" are the A. Campestris.  My reasoning is that I wasn't able to get much of a spore print on the young mushies in "A" and "C" - though I believe that if I had found/ harvested some mature members, the spore prints would have appeared green. My guess that "B" is the Agaricus is based on the fact that I was able to get spore prints on one of the caps in this sample (after posting here), and the print was a distinctive brown/purple.  Any and all feedback on this my first, freshman attempt at mushroom analytics is welcome and appreciated!

Here's some additional pics to support my educated guess from my last post (and based on @Allan Rockefeller's identification).  Again, this "E" sample with pics below was collected on the same hunt as the rest shown in this thread.

I guess I initially separated them b/c they were larger and had slightly different characteristics to those in "B" - but now I gather they are likely the same mushroom.
