Agrocybe praecox vs. Psilocybe ovoideocystidiata pins. Pix!
    #26653015 - 05/06/20 02:00 PM (3 years, 8 months ago)

For anyone who's having trouble differentiating the two species, I have an image of Agrocybe praecox and Psilocybe ovoideocystidiata pins side by side (could be better quality but I don't have a good camera (yet))

A. praecox is on the left, note the veil coming down from the stipe and joining the cap at the margin like this "^" (flaring). Sometimes they won't have a veil.
With Ps. ovoideocystidiata, the veil comes up from the stipe to meet the cap and makes a "v" (sheathing)shape.
Both mushrooms have been described as smelling "farinaceous" but A. praecox cluster mushrooms can smell like bad peanuts and piss, but Ps. ovoideocystidiata smell pretty bitter, metallic, and kinda towards the cucumber-y side of farinaceous than the flour-y side.
The stipe on ovoids is pretty silky, and Agrocybes have more of a dry, stripy looking stipe, some have a kinda granular appearance especially towards the top. Also, ovoids bruise blue/green readily. If you don't have that bruising, you can be 98% sure you don't have an ovoid.
So there you have it. I'm by no means an expert and if anyone has comments and corrections, feel free to add to this!
Cheers!
