ID request - Northern California psilocybes
    #26376342 - 12/12/19 12:19 AM (4 years, 2 months ago)

These beauties were found in the same apartment complex woodchip patch I've been visiting for 3 years. They've been previously identified by TIs here as P. allenii, but I always like to triple-check because I'm over-cautious.

Found in Northern California 15 miles from the coast in a well-trodden planter with woodchips, trees, various plants, tons of leaf litter. Scattered semi-gregariously in groups of 2 to 10 mushrooms. I tried to avoid picking babies but a few came up with the adults.

Spore print appears purplish brown to me but I'm notoriously colorblind.
Caps appear almost honey brown(?) and just barely striated. Size of cap is silver-dollar for the largest and dime for the smallest.
Gills appear adnate.
Stalks definitely bruise dark, inky blue. No annulus / ring that I can see on any of them.

Fun fact: in the previous years, these same ones stained a sea green. Does the darker staining mean higher concentration of psilocybin?

I'm particularly concerned about rogue Galerinas. I've never found one at this location but since I'm colorblind I'm totally dependent on your sharp eyes.




Thank you for your help.

Thanks very much! They are so pretty.
I'd like confirmation from a few TIs before I close up shop, if you're lurking out there guys!

I admire your meticulous spore print method.  Obviously there's a lot of us that are this careful, but I sense that others aren't, which seems risky to me but perhaps you can get to the point where just examination of each fruit body is enough?  For me (at this point) I get a spore print from every single mushroom and compare it to the others.  Anyway, just wondering what others think.  It's all new to me but I'm learning fast (I think).  Great haul!

Once you become familiar with them, you can easily tell at a glance. Stem color and bruising makes it pretty damn obvious. But definitely do what you.need to to feel confident.

Thank you. I always operate with an overabundance of caution. Especially if I'm sharing with friends. It's critically important to do no harm

I wish I could say this. I have never found actives in my area of Norcal EVER except one single allenii patch that keeps growing every year. I think I'm too far Inland but I don't know where else to hunt.
