Are these more or less the Balkan variant of Azzies?

Not really, they are not genetically close to azzies. Closest serbica relative is Ps.aztecorum.
Also, they don't look like azzies, and habitat is much different.
It is very variable species, described under fifty names already: Psilocybe arcana, Psilocybe moravica, Psilocybe moravica var sterberkiana, Psilocybe bohemica, Psilocybe bohemica var moravica...
There is also slight difference in spore size, so some people still make a distinction, but dna analysis says they are conspecific.
Serbica thrives in Central and Southern Europe, but it is also been found as south as Morocco.

So then the place I were last week is a good candidate then: ~800-1000m, beech forest, lot of rubus and the place was littered with macrolepiota. I will definitely give it a try this week again, we got a rain too a day or two ago. Both Serbica and Semilanceata are always been so specially ranked mushrooms in my mind, maybe cause they are truly wild and mysterious. It would be soo great if I ever be able to find them in the wild

Weirdest thing ever just happened. I found serbica at 228m altitude, in mixed hornbeam/oak forest. Finding them at this low alt is something it's unheard of. And it was unusually wavy capped. I think now I will eat all the shit i spouted about serbica not occuring in non beech deciduous and i deeply apologize for spreading miss-information. There was not a single beech wood, at least I didn't observe it.
One thing however I'm not sure. I might accidentally spreaded spores here since this find is 3 km from my house and i visit this forest often. Also last year i carried water bottle with serbica spores and splashed them wherever i thought it's cool. That said, I absolutely do not recall whether I scattered spores to this exact forest, I lean towards that I didn't.

These are so cool, always happy to see the thread pop up.
Feels like pellies and azzies had an illicit affair, but still unique.
Some day I'm going to make a planter with these in it and set it out in the yard in Oregon.

It is time to close the season for this year...Winter is coming and serbicas are getting fat from the snow and rain. But they are also getting more rare with each passing day and soon will disappear completely. I have found only two today at 680m altitude, and won't search for them anymore, so for me the season is over. They could be found for maybe a week or two more, depending on the weather.
2. December, my last serbica foray of 2021:
  
Not many people participated besides me, but thanks to all who did, and thanks for all the nice comments and support from the community. Hopefully next season thread will be more popular and many people will be inspired to go hunt serbicas and post their finds.

Hey, I've been participating, but just not actually finding any! 
We just got some rain here after 2-3 weeks of nothing, so I'll be hunting again through the weekend. Who knows? Maybe some will turn up...
