Identify Fungi! * 1
    #26827510 - 07/16/20 05:55 PM (3 years, 6 months ago)

Habitat:
Growing directly out of horse manure, great shade and moisture, central Florida, peak of summer.

Gills:
White then gray after they pop open fully, turning dark brown as they dry.

Stem:
Length - Some less than a half inch, largest I’ve seen up to 4 inches.
Width: Skinny under the cap widening to no more than probably a 1/4 or 1/2 inch at the base.
Color - White and bruised extremely blue with little provocation. The blues look more black/brown as they dry, they definitely lose that deep indigo color compared to initial bruising while wet.
Texture - Stem breaks apart easily, like splinters except soft. Breaks apart with the vertical ‘grain’ of stem (I say grain like we would describe for wood).
Additional - Hollow, skinny at base of cap and thick at base of stem.

Cap:
Diameter - Anywhere from 1/2 inch or less to 2.5 inches maybe (wet, drying or dried, they come in all sorts of sizes but max is a few inches)
Color - Lightest/whitest  on outer edge, tan in outer middle and dark brown in middle with the tiniest little nipple in the very center
Texture - Thick/dense, meaty mushroom
Spherical/conical? - Spherical with conical shape before fully popping, spherical/convex once popped

Spore print color:
Purple/Black — Done on regular printer paper.

Bruising:
Various blues from light to very dark.

Other information:
-No particular scent varying from a normal mushroomy smell. 
-A little ways down the stem, while the mushrooms are very small, there is a thin veil of skin that attaches to the outside rim of the cap that goes all the way around, covering the gills until it grows big enough, breaking away then exposing the gills and leaving that little skirt and ring on the stem.

I read on a website called psychedelicreview.com of three defining characteristics of sagely ingestible mushrooms containing psilocybin:
One is the distinct blue bruising, another is the purplish brown spore print, and the last is the mushrooms having a gelatinous pellicle, a very top layer of the cap that you can separate from the meat underneath.

Regarding the last characteristic on that list, what if you can peel the top skin layer off but it’s stringy and pulls off in strands instead of being gelatinous and coming off in one smooth layer?

Well, if anyone can help me accurately ID these beauties for safety and posterity, I would appreciate it. Thanks, guys!

I appreciate the input folks, thank you. I felt like I could safely assume after all my research,  but fungus is no joke to be wrong about, serious implications are possible.

It’s a little difficult to find straight answers just by asking google about pretty much anything fungus related.

Would you folks say that blue bruising and a purple spore print in a case where mushrooms look like this and grow out of manure is a safe assumption for psycho actives?

Are there any mushrooms that mimic any combinations of these qualities that are unsafe or considered look a likes?

Are there any toxic fungi that grow out of manure with these same characteristics that are toxic or dangerous?

If The Specimen Is Growing From Manure, Has A Dark Purple/Brown Or Black Spore Print & Bruises Bluish Where Injured/Damaged, It Is Either Psilocybe Cubensis Or An Active Panaeolus Sp :thumbup:

Refer to this page of the form and read through, scroll down to section ll and find the ID template and create an original post. Make sure you get a spore print.
