ID Help: Marin County, CA Beach/Sand/Dune mushrooms

Hey folks,

Checking the surf out in West Marin, I stumbled upon what initially resembled allenii growing at the edge of a bunch of dune grass.  And they were everywhere!  I decided they weren't allenii, but they're damn close, and I'm curious as to what people think they are.  Almost some blue on a couple caps, but I've determined that to be wishful thinking. Some Psathyrella perhaps?

Habitat:
Sand, at the base of dune grass, in areas where driftwood accumulates at times.  They were only on the ocean side of the dunes, where wood might wash up, and not extending further inland into the grass, making me think they are woodlovers perhaps.

Gills:
Wavy, tan when young, becoming very dark, almost black with age.

Stem:
White, fairly sturdy like a psilocybe, and hollow, especially at the cap when cut for a spore print looks exactly like allenii

Cap:
1-5cm, dark brown, almost caramel, turning buff tan with age and dryness, some striation toward edge.  No pellicle really.

Spore print color:
Awaiting a thorough one, but after an hour looks dark purple/black

Bruising:
None. Dammit!

Other information:
Smells good.  Like a cyan or allenii.

I'm fairly certain these are inactive, but they have spiked my curiosity in looking in our local dunes.  Maybe the Humboldt guys find similar looking mushrooms up there mixed in with actives.  How far south have people found woodloving psilocybe in the dunes?  Makes me wonder, since I've found both cyans and allenii less than a mile from dune grass covered beaches in the Bay Area.

Standby for photos, slow to upload...

And in this one, one can just make out a preliminary print in the corner.

And the spore print... Looks exactly like my allenii prints. Weird.

Looks like Lacrymaria lacrymabunda. They're fucking weeds man. I used to find them in sandy ass soil like that on the east coast too.

I'm thinking Psathyrella ammophilia (sp?) now?

I think that is a pretty good match, given both habitat and appearance.:thumbup:
