Psilocybe merdaria? Stropharia semiglobata?
    #24693576 - 10/08/17 10:17 AM (6 years, 4 months ago)

Any thoughts on an ID here?

I suspect psilocybe merdaria, but also could see Stropharia semiglobata or Ps coprophila.

*Golden yellow/brown cap, dulling after harvest; cap tiny to quarter-size at largest.

*Cap not sticky or moist, but perhaps because in a dry environment with no immediately recent rain (?)

*purple/brown spore print.

*stipe hollow, narrow, tan to white; vague annulus remnant visible where colored by dark spores (?)

*gregarious on very old dung in moist, grazed aspen forest at 6000ft elevation in south Idaho; early October after early rains and cold; wider environment is dry sage desert.

Any thoughts appreciated!

I think Protostropharia semiglobata is correct.

:sad:

I suspect you may be correct. I can't seem to find too much information on Ps merdaria, but perhaps it could be expected to be somewhat darker and more viscid than Str semiglobata? Unfortunately the spore prints for these two species seem to highly resemble one another? I've seen some dead ringers for these mushrooms on the web labeled as Ps merdaria, but I suspect some of these may have been improperly ID'ed.

Does anyone happen to have any additional tips for distinguishing between Ps merdaria and Str semiglobata?

Note that the correct name is Deconica merdaria, as alle inactive species of Psilocybe were removed from the genus.
