Possible Psilocybe Silvatica
    #23477882 - 07/26/16 07:12 AM (7 years, 6 months ago)

Habitat: Found growing in my backyard in South Eastern Michigan after the grass was cut just yesterday. Just growing in the grass, may have come from Canadian goose stool as there were some here last month.

Gills: Light brown gills, small and close together, looks like they aren't attached but they might be at the very top by a tiny bit

Stem: Smooth, thin, unsturdy, about 3 inches long, creamy colored



Cap: a little over 1 cm, very fragile with a conical shape and darker at the edges and gets lighter towards the top, at the very top of the cap there is a light tannish spot, it is smooth and almost a tiny bit translucent but that may be from the rain and it being a fairly new mushroom

Spore print color: Still awaiting . . .

Bruising: Doesn't bruise

Other information:
I've never seen this grow here before although I used to just crush mushrooms when I was younger so that tells how much I would actually look at them. Don't worry, I don't do that anymore!
It sprouted up literally overnight as we just cut the grass yesterday and I found it at 7am today.

Conocybe sp. (maybe C. albipes??)

Not active, probably toxic.

Thanks for the reply.
I am not going to consume knowing this, but how toxic are they? Enough to kill a man or just make him sick?
And how can you tell it is that type?

According to a study made in 2003, Conocybe apala (syn. C. albipes) was found to contain small
amounts of phallotoxins similar to the ones found in certain Amanita species. Not knowing the exact
amount in a single specimen, I still assume it would take a sufficient amount to actually kill somebody, as
the mushrooms are small and flimsy.

How toxic are they?
Some conocybe species contain amatoxins and phallotoxins (same chemicals as deadly amanitas).
Here's a few links on the topic- http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14531619 ;     http://www.novascotia.ca/museum/poison/?section=species&id=132

I was able to identify it because I've spent years of my life lurking around the shroomery, soaking up as much fungal ID knowledge as possible.
Also from the cap color/shape/lined margin, the size of the mushroom, the color/texture of both the stem and gills, and your habitat description.

One of those links doesn't work, I must have copied wrong.
Sorry about that.
Let's try again: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14531619
