if they arent semilancaeta, they are at LEAST psilocybes.

from what i can see: agreed. one can not expect all specimens of a species to fall within the classic phenotype/morphology range.

if they are another active grassland psilocybe it's nice to be able to find a distinguishing feature to put your finger on [to put a specific name on or determine it is taxanomicaly distinct], but if it's a question of which species out of two close relatives the difference is generaly of secondary importance.

hmm, cant find a pic i made up to settle this very argument once, ill just have to make up a new one, HAAAANG on.

youre lucky im not drinkin!


and you know very well its too late to prove the mushrooms have a separable pellicle, you knew that when you suggested it.  so no complain'n 'bout me editin', It doesn't show up if you do it in the first minute of the posts existance, the list is strictly a badge of approval. It carries no perk, except some mutual respect.  most of the people on it hardly bother to come around anymore.

now theres a few inactive Psilocybes that mimic libs,
they pretty much all fall under the category of those with gills that are ALMOST adnate. meaning they are attached down the stipe only by a thin fibrous membrane and are only truly attached at the place where stipe meets the cap. the membrane doesn't really hold if moved.
liberty caps are always sharply adnexed.

The look alikes include (but are not limited to) Psilocybe inquilina, (and the crobula var.) and Stopharia (psilocybe) Semiglobata. nether of which have a separable pellicle, and the later doesnt show purple through the cap.
heres some stropharia semiglobata

heres some psilocybe inquilina


libs you already know
