Hiyo

This was our first time picking but we might have done alright for ourselves? Hope the photos are up to snuff and appreciate the expertise and advice :smile:
We were on the lookout for subs mainly, as the area we went looking was known to have them. After some pretty good rain it seemed like the perfect time to try putting the research into practice. We found many fantastic fungi, and a couple of species that may be active.

Species #1
------------------
Habitat:
Found in mulch substrate in sedgy grassland plains and wetlands both within ~20m of still water, co-habitant with Leratiomyces ceres

Gills:
Cream or tan, to purple-brown (same as spore colour), attached (I think - see photos), crowded to close gills

Stem:
2 - 8cm in length, up to 0.5cm diameter, white, fibrous, solid, relatively thin stems, thickening somewhat at the base, bruising blue

Cap:
1 - 6cm diameter, cream to tan, rubbery, moist to dry, conical to convex/flat with umbo, sometimes variably split or warped, bruising bluish green

Spore print color:
Dark purplish brown

Bruising:
Blue on stems, bluey-green on caps and gills














Species #2
------------------
Habitat:
Found in mulch/debris/soil substrate in woodland undergrowth, relatively wetter and darker area than species #1

Gills:
Cream or tan, to purple-brown (same as spore colour), attached (I think - see photos), crowded to close gills

Stem:
2 - 4cm in length, up to 1cm diameter, white, fibrous, solid, relatively thicker stems than species #1, thickening somewhat at the base, bruising blue

Cap:
1 - 2cm diameter, tan to dark coffee brown, rubbery, moist, spherical to conical, bruising dark blue

Spore print color:
Dark purplish brown

Bruising:
Blue on stems, dark blue on caps and gills

Other information:
I suspect species #1 and #2 are the same species - namely Psilocybe subaeruginosa - at different maturities/wetness but idk first time :P





Species #3
------------------
Habitat:
Found in mulch substrate in sedgy grassland plains and wetlands in same area as species #1

Gills:
Rusty orange-tan, attached (I think - see photos), crowded to close gills

Stem:
4 - 8cm in length, 1cm diameter, same rusty orange-tan colour as gills, fibrous

Cap:
4 - 6cm diameter, mahogany to orange-tan, velvety, moist, convex, some dark bruising

Spore print color:
Yellow-orange

Bruising:
Some dark bruising on cap

Other information:
Found in a cluster of ~7 fruiting bodies. Field ID suggests Gymno. Unfortunately on return to take photos of the site, the rest had been pilfered :frown:





Thanks so much for the great community and advice you have, hopefully this will be the start of a longer stay here :laugh:

Welcome to the shroomery. :cheers:

Species 1 & 2 are all Psilocybe subaeruginosa. :thumbup:
Make sure they all bruise blue.

Number 3 could be a few things though nothing worth while.

Good to hear Nickoloxious, thanks!

There's a significant amount of bluing on all of them (bar the Gymno? sp.) so I'm very happy :smile:
