Thanks for responding. I can work on spore prints. Are any of these active (containing psilocybin)?

5. does look like Hygrophoropsis but it could also be Paxillus cuprinus. There is also a black staining Hygrocybe in the photo.

Re: ID Request: Bay Area [Re: Ran-D]

No. Nothing is active. If you want actives, you should be looking for two specific species - psilocybe cyanescens and psilocybe allenii. Familiarize yourself with what they look like - there are hundreds of photos on this site and the internet at large.
These two species will grow in woodchips mulch 90% of the time. They will look specifically like the pictures you can study and they will bruise blue conspicuously when picked. Post pics on this forum for confirmation. Actives are going to be one of those two specific species. Narrow your search if that is your goal. Cheers. Happy hunting.

1) Mycena purpureofusca
2) Clitocybe
3) Tubaria furfuracea
4) Leratiomyces ceres
5) Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca
6) Lactarius rubidus
7) Psathyrella piluliformis
8) Russula mairei and Clitocybe nuda
9) Inocybe
10) Hypholoma fasciculare

None contain psilocybin.    The Lactarius are popular edibles, and the Psathyrella and Clitocybe nuda could also be cooked up.
