Is this a Cyanescens and can I eat it?
    #26456667 - 01/28/20 11:19 AM (4 years, 1 day ago)

Ate some GT's and lil Thai babies and took my Chihuahua out for the hunt yesterday. Found well over 200! Only one looked like this though . . . .

Bay Area, CA. Hilltop in a very mixed hardwood forest with mostly Eucalyptus actually (but also some oaks and conifers and whatnot). This one was maybe 6 inches from the trail. Lots of woodchips and other more natural debris all over.
I've seen a somewhat wide variety in how these caps and other hygrophanous dudes can present (this one seems a bit mature) and I know there's a couple look-alikes. Is there any one single thing to look for that rules out all other mushrooms, either now or in the future??? I took a spore print but it still seems like we're all just guessing? How can I be sure aside from trying a tiny bite lol? See pics for spore print (purple/brown).
Did not seem to bruise blue but seemed kinda dry and mature.







Print is a definite brown/purple. It was a gorgeous lighter purple after only printing for an hour or so but I left it overnight here.

Lol somebody was definitely nibbling some (caps and gills had holes)

Not a Psilocybe species, you might be able to eat it. It looks like an Agaricus species. Get familiar with how it smells.

Something that rules out non active mushrooms in our area is blue bruising where it was not blue before, combined with a dark, purple brown spore print. Not all active mushrooms have those two traits though.

Dont eat anything unless you know exactly what it is! :mushroom2:

I think it might be an old Psathyrella. Gill spacing looks off for Agaricus.

Gill and stem shots would help, though.
