ID Help, Small Cyans and some Allenii
    #26383732 - 12/15/19 05:15 PM (4 years, 1 month ago)

Hey everyone,

I've been picking culinary mushrooms since I was a little kid, and recently have started picking Psilocybe  species in Northern California.

I found a couple patches earlier this week, and one was filled with what seemed to be mature Cyanescens, but they are much smaller than what I usually find, with caps about the size of a quarter.  I know this is normal with some other mushrooms; I have chanterelle spots that always have tiny mushrooms no matter how old they get, but I did find a couple of "normal sized" cyanescens here as well (in the corner of photo).

Additionally, I'm thinking these other more round ones are allenii?  Waiting on the spore print before they go in the dehydrater.  All found in the same general area:

Found under a cypress tree in eucalyptus chips and a bit of grass, SF Bay Area.  Landscaped area.  There is light bluing throughout.  Thoughts?

Often wood loving Psilocybe will be shorter and more stout in appearance when growing in wood chip as opposed to other areas. It's an environmental thing usually.

The other ones could be young cyans, still a bit of a wave to them. Definitely all active.

Psilocybe allenii & Psilocybe cyanescens. :thumbup::mushroom2::stoned:

In my experience, seeing Ps. cyanescens getting smaller is a sign that the mycelium body is running out of inoculant &/or has become dehydrated.
