You can improve your odds if you continue to look for mushrooms of that size and general shape which have darker gills, disregarding any with white ones.

After that, check the taxture of the caps. If they aren't sufficiently dry that they are fading to a pale color they should feel rather rubbery and slippery.

Once you find some of that description, check the youngest, dampest specimens for a delicate, rubbery membrane (called a pellicle) on the surface which cam be peeled away partially or completely. It should be stretchy and translucent, like something between gelatin and a soft contact lens. If you get that far, take a spore print. It should be purple.

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.
