Strange looking Psilocybe in Maryland
    #26703755 - 05/29/20 07:57 AM (3 years, 8 months ago)

Found these on a walk yesterday in Maryland in the Baltimore region and noticed their blue stained stems and pointy bald caps with shades of blue, with some purple hues on the older ones. I would greatly appreciate any help! (Sorry for the duplicate pics)

Habitat:
On wood debris in overgrown floodplain beside small creek.



Gills:
Light brown to darker brown gills with dark purple brown spores



Stem:
Pretty long stems in maturity, tallest of those found is about 6in. Stems are off white and hollow, thick with partial veil.



Cap:
Biggest found was about 3in in diameter and fairly flat in maturity. Most found are very conical with prominent umbonate.



Spore print color:
Dark purple/brown



Bruising:
Heavy blue bruising



Other information:
These mushrooms smell just like cubes/ovoids. Some of the larger caps are splitting at the margins. Hygrophanous caps that have slight slippery feel when fresh.

You may have stumbled across one of my transplants.  I've put a lot of that variety around there.  I'll pm you

I'm still pretty new to this but have found many many ovoids this season and none of these unknowns seem to have that wavy cap look. The two biggest of these mystery caps I found were almost completely flat and just didn't look similar. Im by no means an expert though so I could be mistaken.

Some of my ovoids...

Yeah, they’re just a different phenotype of ovoids. The coolest looking ones imo, nice finds

Man, I thought I might've found something new haha. Are Ovoids the only psilocybe in Maryland?

They are the only ones that look like that, you also get Psilocybe caerulipes which is tiny and very very rarely liberty caps
