ID Request: SF Bay Area: P. Cyanescens + bonus.
    #26386195 - 12/16/19 11:22 PM (4 years, 2 months ago)

Newbie here.  Had an original post here in the CA Fall Actives thread here: https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/26378014#26378014 which was ID'ed as p. cyanesens - although being a newbie wanted to also verify with TI.

------- Species # 1 (main) -----------------------

Location: Cal SF Peninsula

Habitat: woodchips in landscaped area, small flowers and bushes around.

Stem: white bruises blue (easiest place to see bruising when wet). No observable annulus.

Bruises: blue, when wet sometimes appearing dark blue-black.  Easiest seen on stem when wet.  As mushroom dries, more blue is scene on caps.

Cap: caramel or with some dyed dark from other mushroom spores and/or older instances).  Viscid & smooth and wavy.

Spore Print: dark purple

Pics:

 

 




(A few additional pics in the mentioned thread: https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/26378014#26378014 )

------- Species # 2  (bonus) -----------------------

Being new, I wanted to continue to grow my knowledge in awareness of similar look-a-likes, especially toxic, so I kept my eye out for any similar looking species, especially galerina.  This was the closest I found (beyond the small tubaria furfuracea )...



Location: SF Bay area

Habitat: landscaped woodchips

Stem: Brownish, more fiberous, and hollow.  (No bruising).  Has annulus (Removed annulus comment per comment below: https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/26387446#26387446 )

Cap: Medium-large, brown, can appear wavy.  Non-viscid - more fiberous / suede-like.

Gills: brown.

Bruising: none

Spore print: not performed, as not collected

The first ones are Psilocybe cyanescens, as you suspected. :thumbup:

Second ones look like Lacrymaria lacrymabunda.

Small update on the bonus (species #2).  Checked them out again in that spot - doesn't look like an annulus in that group.  The annulus was very obvious in a different neighboring group.  I'll strike out that detail in the original post.

Check the following description (L. velutina is synonymous with L. lacrymabunda):

"Stem: 4–10 cm long; 4–10 mm thick; equal; fibrillose or nearly bald; with a fragile ring or a ring zone
that is darkened by spores
; white above, pale brownish below; hollow; basal mycelium white."
