ID - P. Cyanescens but bruises orange?! UK
    #26948740 - 09/22/20 01:54 AM (3 years, 4 months ago)

First timer, lmk any feedback I'll happily improve!

I know P. Cyanescens grow on wood chip mulch normally, so these aren't likely to be them... But I've been looking around the internet for lookalikes, found various threads but none clearly describe this mushroom.

It seems to have everything right except spores (unknown) and bruising - never seen reference to it in a lookalike guide though, unless it's a galerina without an annulus, but I can't get spores out of them to confirm... Do galerinas bruise orange?

Habitat:
Growing in an eastern UK grass meadow with various weeds, horses there occasionally (like a month ago), not growing directly in dung but there is some old dung around.

Gills:
Cream-orange, gills not attached (adnate? there's a slight gap around the stem at the top)

Stem:
length: 2-5cm,
diameter: ~3mm,
colour: white but some caramel,
texture: dry / smooth
hollow/solid: very squeezable, they squeeze to flat so I guess hollow?
no visible annulus on any of them
no visible cortinate (veil) on any of them

Cap:
diameter: 10-30mm,
color: caramel, cream and dark at the edge like that thing where the cap fades into the gills (can't remember what you guys call that!),
texture: rough but no scales, wrinkled because it's been sunny, very dry
conical/spherical: kinda neither, more wavy,
convex/concave: almost all convex, but 1 is concave (img 1 and img 2, this was within a separate batch some 30cm from the first batch).

Spore print color: couldn't get a single one to drop spores onto paper (drop of water on cap, place on white paper, cover with glass, wait 24 hours)

Bruising:
Orange-yellow-brown, similar to cap colour actually - left one of img 5 looks quite well bruised

Other information:
Scent of the mushroom: smells like a meaty sort of a mushroom.

I think they are Marasmius species. They have white spores, so you couldn't see them since you printed on a white paper. Welcome to the Shroomery! :thumbup:

These are too dried out to tell which species they are, however they do not look anything like Psilocybe cyanescens, I'm afraid.

You should be looking in wood chip beds for P. cyanescens.

Try checking the "UK cyan distribution thread" now and then, it is quiet at the moment
but will probably be more active when the cyans start popping. I reckon it is still a bit early.

Also check the following link for description and lots of pictures of the species:

Thanks guys excellent info.
I'll check the images again but.. Going by the pix I'd seen and all the written descriptions.. I could imagine some eager person trying one! If the sun hadn't been uncharacteristically shining here for the last 3 weeks solid I could imagine these getting nice shiny most caps.. Due to start raining here tomorrow night I think so ill look around next week :laugh:

Good tip about white spores - didn't think about that did I :smile:

For your own safety, please refrain from eating unidentified mushrooms. :badshroom:
