I think none of the above. I see a lot of these mushrooms, they have brown caps but older specimens have whitish caps. I haven't gone through the trouble of IDing them, but I suspect they are a type of Laccaria and would have a white spore print. Read the rules post on how to post a proper ID request. What part of the country are you in?

That's your number one clue that they are not Psilocybe cyanescens which in the US are only found in the Pacific Northwest.

they arent cyans.
cyans have a tendency to bruise blue when you pick them. and dont grow in your area [i think] those look completely different to cyans. but good luck with the hunting.

It looks like Tubaria furfuracea. They thrive in Cyan habitats.
Here is a comparison of a Tubaria (left) and a Cyan (right).
And here is a cluster of Tubarias.

I'm not so sure Cure. Those white looking caps and gills remind me a lot of these Laccaria looking mushies that I've been seeing. Although the fringe on the caps in the poster's first picture would support your tubaria. He should spore print it, give a better description etc. That would settle it definitively. I'm going to grab one tomorrow and get a spore print. That should settle it - at least on my end.

The Tubaria prints are light rusty orange.
Print some and if you can, snap a few habitat shots to verify that they are the same species presented here.

Indeedy. Almost pointless even talking about it without a print - so many Cortinarius and friends that it could be, and maybe even Laccaria if they are the ones that I'm finding. Spore print will be my first order of nerd-business tomorrow. In any case, I don't think they are Galerinas, and they are absolutely not cyans. So that part of the thread is pretty well closed.
