Does a thin, translucent, separable, gelatinous pellicle guarantee a psilocybe genus mushroom?
    #26646298 - 05/03/20 03:34 PM (3 years, 8 months ago)

My daughter saw this small mushroom growing from moss while we were walking (in May) in a conifer forest in Vancouver BC. Given the season and color/shape of the mushroom, I thought it likely to be a conocybe or inocybe. On gently tearing the cap apart however, I noticed a thin, transparent, gelatinous separable pellicle, and wondered if this characteristic alone meant that she had found a psilocybe despite it not quite looking like anything I've read about.

I saw in previous posts that there are "non active" varieties that have a separable gelatinous pellicle and also that many non-psilocybes have separable pellicles. However, specifically, is a thin, see-through, stretchy, gelatinous, separable pellicle unique to the psilocybe genus? Thanks!

P.s. sorry for the incomplete picture/lack of spore print. I lost the stem (and the cap) before I could take a print. Wondering if this is actually an example of Psilocybe pelliculosa?


Habitat:
Conifer forest growing from moss near Vancouver, BC in May

Gills:

Stem:
Brown stem, 2cm long

Cap:
O.5cm, cinnamon brown apex, pale white margin, conical, viscid with thin, translucent, separable gelatinous pellicle

Spore print color:
Unknown

Bruising:
Cap did not bruise

It's a mycena sp. The pellicle has nothing to do with psychoactivity.

Thanks, looking at previous posts more closely, I'm seeing that a pellicle seems to be thin and translucent by definition and is indeed present on other varieties of mushroom. I guess one's first post is always dumb!

No one trait is an indication of a specific type of shroom, for example,
all psilocybes bruise blue and that is perhaps one of the most important indicators, but other shrooms like Boletes bruise a deep blue  as well.

Blue and greenish bruising is an indication of psilocybin, but no proof as there is other non-psychoactive species with that trait. But blue bruising along with black or purplish brown spore print is as close to a confirmation as you can get.
