Help Identification!!
    #24006833 - 01/13/17 10:58 AM (7 years, 17 days ago)











These were growing in residential apartment landscaping soil, amidst leaves in the South Bay Area, California, next to a tree base (not sure of type of tree).


Gills attached adnate, white and slightly cream-colored.

Stems are 2.5 to 3 inches long and 1 centimeter diameter, and equal shape up and down. Color is dull brown/ grayish gold. Woodsy texture.


Cap color is dull brown/ grayish gold. Diameter is 1-1.5 inches. Convex/ bell-shaped.

I'm waiting on the spore print, hope to add a pic of that if it I'm successful with creating it.



No bruising.


The scent is sweet to me.

Thanks!  I googled that species and it seems about right.  That I could boil them thoroughly and eat them too if I felt so inclined.  Would you say that in the woods in my general area, as a complete novice, that there are reasonable odds that a psil. mush could encountered and subsequently identified here with a post of equal quality and descriptiveness as this one?!?

In the "woods", very slim to none.  But in the surrounding residential apartment landscaping and other areas that contain woodchips, chances are good.

Ok, I found this on commercial building landscaping soil with bark chips.  Mid-peninsula, CA.

The cap is grayish brown but purplish around the edge (this drew my attention btw), a little convex, and 4 cm max diameter.

Gills are free or adnexed, pretty numerous and purplish/grey.

Stem is white with purplish striping (again the purple here is drawing my attention), 3 cm long and 1 cm thick.

Do a spore print of the latest mushroom. It looks like a Blewit, but it could also be one of the purple cortinarius spp. A spore print would differentiate btw these two.

Youch!  Thank you.  Decidedly not psychoactive in that case? I guess I will go ahead and make a print anyhow.

No, certainly not psychoactive.  Possibly edible, if they are in fact blewits.  Your chances of finding psilocybe mushrooms by guess-and-check are going to be very low.  Check the stickied post in this forum for where to start.  You will be looking for small-ish mushrooms with white stems and tan-to-brown caps growing in wet mulch.  They should bruise blue and spore print dark purple.  If any of these things do not happen, you probably don't have the right species.

It seems like p. cyanescens and p. alleni are about the only ones I could expect to find in my area at this time?  That's what I had concluded prior to picking the last purplish one, but the purple on it persuaded me that I might have overlooked another possibility.  However, it is clear at this point that none of the purple had anything to do with bruising.  But the white stem reminded me of those of the cubies I had grown like eight or so years ago.  I'm totally disappointed that I didn't keep any prints from that.
