Hi guys I am an Uber noob having never tried mushies before and probably won't for a while, they seem to be rare around where I am just like the rain but it's fun to hunt info down so I thought I'd have a go when the chance came along. So here we go. I found these babies in some cow poo. After pooring over all the info I could find I took a wild guess that they are Copelandia cyanescens, I could only get three before the farmer came to chase me off, I took spore prints so if they are magic's I will try to grow them, bout the only chance I will ever get to getting more. Details. Spore print: Black Location: south east queensland australia, hour north of brisbane. color: whitish grey cap with gold/tan top, looks like some blueing around base of cap. Stems were a tan color, older shroom stems look blackish blue, once sniped seemed to blue around cut and blacken where I'd crushed the base. Dried caps turned brown. Medium: cow manure.
Any help would be much appreciated and if there are any Aussies kickin around that can give me any tips of info feel free to cantact me. Thx a bunch. And have a good christmas!

Those look like active copes to me. It's hard to see the blue in your photos, but it looks like its there. Spore print is right.

Nice find! You'll need at least ten average sized mushrooms for a decent trip though

Good find for a first time hunter...
Be careful of those farmers though. Get permission first!!

AWSOME! Thx guys now I have an idea of what to look for that wont cause irreversable liver damage . I spotted those mushies from bout 25 meters away, up a hill, while traveling at a moderate speed on my motorcycle. I guess they just wanted to be found . I'm as happy as a mushie in shit! I hope I can grow em lol.
