Identification request: Psilocybe Semilanceata?
    #23496536 - 07/31/16 06:14 PM (7 years, 6 months ago)

Hello, I'm back again. Was just hoping that someone could confirm whether I've picked the correct mushrooms.

Habitat: Mountain grassland, sheep grazing nearby - growing straight from soil

Gills: The gill color varies from an olive-grey to a dark brown color.

Stem: Whitish to yellow, robost, slightly enlarged at base.

Cap: Mostly creamy some brown, many tear-shaped most with a distinct nipple, varies in size from 2cm to .5cm, most caps curve in at the bottom, a small number flair out.

Bruising: Some blue bruising on the roots, also on some of the stems.

Location: 1500-2000 FT above sea level in the hills of North West Wales.




I'm really sorry but I can't seem to get a spore print, I hope this is ok.

P. Semilanceata


--------------------
I give you the choice of 2 pills.

With each containing one of the following:
Cyanide... Psilocin... Would you take the risk?
Didn't think so.

This is why Positive Identification prior to consumption is important.

So mostly you have definite Psilocybe semilanceata. However you have one in there that I think is a Conocybe species probably. The specimen in question is in both the first and last picture. It is smack dab in the middle of the last one.

Maybe post close up pics of the gills of both specimens. The color will help confirm what they are.

Hi, I've taken some more pictures with better reference, if you could tell me which aren't Semilanceata I'll just bin them thanks. Would it be possible for you to let me know the telltale signs should I be looking out for in future?

I see nothing but Psilocybe semilanceata here.

I think the mushroom ambc thought is a Conocybe is nr. 12 in last series. Based on the details (a fragment of the gills) we see in these barely better closeups I don't it is a Conocybe, but it was a bit toward brown/orange in the first series. This shows how important good photos is for a correct identification!

That is the main one I questioned for sure, it still looks pretty orange to me, but not to the point of being an obviously different species. I think  a close up of the gills would be a good idea, if just to remove any doubt. The other one I mentioned I am sure is P. semilanceata after seeing the new pics.

Thank you all for your help. I shall get rid of number 12 just to be on the safe side and I'll look into how to produce better close-ups so that any confusion like this can be avoided in the future. I don't mean to be a pain and I really appreciate all your help in assisting me not killing myself with dodgy mushrooms. Cheers!
