P strictipes, lookalikes, or something else completely?
    #26965178 - 10/02/20 02:21 AM (3 years, 4 months ago)

Hi all, looking for some help IDing these mushrooms. I'm thinking Psilocybe strictipes, but I'm wondering if there are any lookalikes i should watch out for, or if i'm completely off base here.

I'm mostly using my Paul Stamets book Psilocybin Mushrooms of the World as the reference, plus a bunch of googling.

Habitat:
Central scotland, about 800-1000 feet elevation. Grassland with either horse, sheep, or cow dung nearby (but not growing from the dung. It's just a path through a generally "dungy" grass area with a fair amount of dung loving panaeolus in the dung itself). Same path as a bunch of Semilanceata. The Semilanceata were just slightly higher up.

Gills:
Greyish brown gills with a purplish hue when i picked them.

Stem:
5-8cm long; 1-3mm diameter; whitish/yellowish/tan; the one i cut looks to be hollow. No blueing.

Cap:
1.5 to almost 3cm diameter. Mostly obtusely conic to broadly convex in the largest specimens. Ever so slightest hint of umbonation. Darker tan center to a faded tan on the margins. Slight striation on the margins. Definite pellicle.

Spore print color:
Very dark. (I need to look again in the morning under natural light.) Dark purple brown to black. (That might be seeing what i want to see in artificial light.)
EDITED: After looking in the daylight, there is definitely a purple hue to the nearly black spores.

Bruising:
None.

Other information:
Smells like the grassy mountain, similar to the liberty caps in the area.






Next to some semilanceata for comparison:


Thanks for any help or suggestions of what else to look into in advance!

The bigger ones are protostropharia semiglobata buddy, not active

There is some libs mixed in though. Separate by type of mushroom and re photograph for a better id.

Fantastic! Protostropharia semiglobata looks like exactly what they are.

Yeah, i only included the pic with the group of Libs to show the size difference for comparision. All the other pics are only of the Pr. semiglobata.

But thanks again. I'm gonna double check the semiglobata descriptions, but i'm pretty sure you're spot on. They were extremely slippery when wet and difficult to get a grip on the stipe. And there's what appears to be an annulated zone that the strictipes usually shouldn't have. Cheers!

Psilocybe strictipes is synonymous with P. semilanceata.
