Giant Semilanceata! & mystery friends...? (pics)
    #27024320 - 11/06/20 03:13 AM (3 years, 2 months ago)

Good morning Shroomerians.

I have been lurking on the forum for a little while now, and I think I finally have something worth sharing with the community :smile:

I am an experienced forager of liberty caps, and I am lucky enough to have lived in areas which guarantee a successfully harvest every year. With a small level of experience, Semilanceata is easy to identify, although their appearance does vary somewhat, depending on habitat and location.

Last week, I found a beast of epic magnitude.







My knowledge of Mycology is amateur at best. I only really know how to identify libs, and maybe a few basic "fool-proof" edible varieties. So my question is, can anybody help me to ID a couple of mystery shrooms?

Mystery species #A (on the right)
This one is always growing in abundance, usually in exactly the same habitat as the semilanceata. However, these greyish looking mushrooms are growing directly out of cowshit, whereas the libs are growing from the grassy areas nearby. My guess is some sort of Panaeolus variety?



Mystery species #B
This one has baffled me. I have never seen it before. Does blueing suggest an active species? Or is there another explanation? They were growing in grassy areas, in very close proximity to the libs. ID / info / explanation please?









Thanks in advance, and happy hunting everybody :smile:

B is one of the blue Stropharia species, pseudocyanea or something like that. It's not active.

OK, yes, image comparison with pseudocyanea looks spot-on. many thanks!

Thanks! Is it active? I've heard mixed opinions.

You can find a few articles online from waaaayyyy back that have these listed as psilocybin containing but its misidentification and most have been quickly redacted. The internet makes it really easy to convince yourself something is active when its not....hell look at how many "I got fucked up on these" posts we seee that have a very obviously inactive species in the pics.

Ok good. Thanks for the info :smile: I would never eat something unless i knew exactly what it was, and I was 100% sure about the toxicity. The photos i submitted were purely out of curiosity. I saw so many of these types, I figured it'd be worthwhile knowing what they are. Great feedback everyone, many thanks :smile:
