Stipe at the base looks a little off - would recommend gills photo and/or spore print color for proper identification.

Looks promising however; especially the specimens in the last photo that are more dry.

You've been posting finds for a while without getting a +5 rating.  Let's fix that.

Oh wow, cool! Didn’t even realize that was a thing! Thanks!

Only got into foraging a few years ago. It’s been a lot of fun and I’ve learned a ton here!

They could also be Psilocybe aquamarina - some ovoids I found in Oakland turned out to be that species.  I am not sure how to tell them apart as they also have ovoid cystidia:

Oh that would definitely make this a more interesting find.

Alan- I know you've posted this elsewhere, but what's the best way to go about getting these sequenced and identified? I'm in SF if that matters.

Since you are in CA, you'll want to use the MycoMap CA Network (https://mycota.com/the-mycomap-ca-network/). Here is how you do it:

1) Photograph: Take good photos in the field, or photograph the dried specimen if you don't have field shots.

2) Post: Create an observation on iNaturalist.

3) Print Labels: Generate and print two labels for each collection via https://images.mushroomobserver.org/labels.

4) Ship: Send a small piece of the collection to the Mycota lab in a snack-sized Ziploc bag, including one of the labels.

5) Save: Retain the rest of the collection at home in a Ziploc with a silica gel pack and the second label.

That way if it turns out to be something cool, you have most of the collection at home.

Same ovoid patch, still producing. One had a slug crawling up for a snack 🤣.

One thing I’m noticing from these is that when it’s dry and hot, they tend to be smaller in diameter with a more pronounced umbo. When it’s been cooler and wet, they grow much larger in diameter, the cap almost seems to droop and sometimes curls out at the edges, and the umbo becomes significantly less pronounced.
