Not P. caerulipes. Something close to P. semilanceata, I believe.
You could take a pin and check if the gill edges are covered by a gelatinous
string. If so it would indicate P. liniformans.

This is the small fella I picked yesterday that I actually did think was a liberty cap but then I found the other one today....


So, I just went out to see if I could find any more and found these 2, partially rotten. Almost looks like some remnants of a partial veil??


This fella was pretty much standing on top of where I found them, just now......lol


I am currently printing Ps. semilanceata, Ps. quebecensis and this one side by side for comparison!
The small print is from yesterdays find.

The more I research, the more it resembles Psilocybe strictipes....:shrug:.
It does seem to be umbonate.

Well, looks like it's going to take a microscopy to figure this out, semilanceata print looks same colour, just not as dark....:shrug:

Psilocybe strictipes might not even be a separate species. I don't think anyone has ever provided a Psilocybe strictipes to our experts that hasn't turned out to be a Psilocybe semilanceata...

I have a vague inkling of a memory that Alan provided a report and pictures of a woodland find of what was supposedly P. strictipes.
This was a few years back. I can't find the post in the myriad of search results, however. I'm not even sure if it was Alan's find, but I think
he scoped it and came to this conclusion.

I'm sending it along with a couple semilanceata prints to a fellow shroomerite to compare under the scope anyways.
All I know for sure is that I have picked well over 20,000 liberty caps in the last 25 years and VERY rarely if not ever did I have second thoughts Identifying a liberty cap but I have been wrong on lots of other shit so...........
I also only had 2 decent specimens of this find and both blued intensely within minutes of pinching the stipe, I usually have to go through a few hundred liberty caps to witness this just once and it just never happens that fast.

Alan said a few months ago that:

Quote:

Both Jan Borovicka and I have been sequencing the DNA of various "Psilocybe strictipes" collections, and all turned out to match 100% with P. semilanceata.  Also several intermediate forms can be seen, further weakening the case for P. strictipes being real.  The supposed microscopic differences are slight and overlap with the micro characters of P. semilanceata.

Much respect to Alan, but that statement is an oxymoron and what exactly is a "supposed microscopic difference"?
I admit, I am very ignorant when it come to DNA sequencing as I have no clue how that works but, I always thought that with regards to DNA, if the match is not 100% then it's just not the same......:shrug:

When Psilocybe strictipes was described as a species, it had a description of the microscopic features, like shape and sizes of spores/cheilocystidia etc. The problem is that these descriptions also matches Psilocybe semilanceata to a very high degree. This fact, together with the lack of genetic differences leads to the conclusion that none of the reported (and analyzed) "Psilocybe strictipes" can be validated as an own species that can be separated from Psilocybe semilanceata.

All individuals belonging to the same species does not share 100% of their DNA. Just as you and me have genetic differences, but still being Homo sapiens. The line between species is based on how big that difference is.

As I understand it, the regions that are sequenced are those that do not differ between individuals of a single species and are fairly static.

So, as long as I don't send my specimen away for sequencing or Ps. strictipes gets OFFICIALLY removed as a species then I can call mine Ps. strictipes because that's what it most resembles macroscopically...:shrug:, or is it an unknown species???

The genetics more greater resamble that of an animal more than a plant.
So your find and your liberty cap have The same genetics if I'm not mistaken.

In theory, that's correct.  In practice, also appears to be correct most of the time.

Nothing ever gets officially removed as a species - there is a central authority on nomenclature but no central authority on taxonomy.

If you send your specimen for sequencing it would probably match 100% with Psilocybe semilanceata.
