There are no macroscopic differences.

I don't know about differences. I don't know if I have ever found p. caerulipes.

Season slowing down [Re: shroomydan]

It being the first day of summer, I jumped on my bike this morning to see if any mushrooms were about. The season is not over yet, but the bluefoot are fruiting in much few numbers than they were a few weeks ago.
Here are few shots of one of my bluefoot patches.
Most of the bluefoot I found were being attacked by mold. I've been seeing this mold on them all season, but the warm dry weather seems to be making it worse.
I did find a few nice specimens though.
I found few other neat mushrooms as well.
Small Pluteus
Little Inky Caps
Coon's favorite mushroom.
Little Gym
Not sure about this guy.
Eyelash cup.
Black raspberries are coming into season, and the wine berries are not far behind.
Black Raspberry
Wine Berry buds.
I also found some wild lilies, the picture does not do them justice.
It was a pretty good day hunting.

day for parasitic mold finds. i'm more confident your unknown is a hypomyces infection.
-------------------- Attn PWN hunters: If you should come across a bluing Psilocybe matching P. pellicolusa please smell it. If you detect a scent reminiscent of Anethole (anise) please preserve a specimen or two for study and please PM me.

The last week i haven't found any bluefoots in any of my patches. I think the temps have gotten too hot and the lack of rain around cincinnati hasn't helped any. Luckily I found that huge patch in may so I have plenty to hold me over.

I've stalked probably 300 piles just like those along the rivers and creeks here and never found one...maybe it's because the 100 year flood last year? But there's miles and miles of piles of trees and dead knotweed everywhere, and I only find Mycenae or the occasional Gym. I don't think they grow in my area of NY state(southern, 10 min from Pennsylvania.)
Nice stuff tho

The base of the stem looks more purple than blue in those photos. I wouldn't eat it unless it has a dark-purplush-brown spore print and the stem and cap bruise blue a few minutes after they are damaged.
A nice clear photo of the gills would help ID it.

It is still hard to tell what it is. I will guess that the spore print color is brown due to the gill color. If that is the case, this mushroom is likely to be in the genus Hebeloma, a large and confusing genus with no edible or active members.
It could also be a Cortinarius, or something else. I suggest that you go back to the place you found it and get some younger specimens which will drop a spore print. Post these photos plus photos of younger specimens (especially the underside) in a new ID request thread, and someone should be able to give you a good guess.

Hey shroomydan, where do you live? I'm wondering because in some of those pictures, the habitat looks a lot like an area near my house... I know it's not the same place, but the habitat is similar... maybe I'll be lucky enough to find some bluefoot's later this year.
-------------------- I'm in need of a sterile sporeprint, if anyone wants to do a trade for some seeds or something, or maybe just for free if you have a lot of them............. i'd really appreciate it NuggetPorch said - "YES! YES!!!! Coaster its Faint, but its fucking there YOU see it!!! Perhaps we are both on some sort of unusual wave length associated with unusual neuro-transmitters, mind expansion white light, or something we can not even begin to understand or fathom to conceive because it is a gift of insight or a curse given to us by powers beyond our control, something we are not meant to know."

Better hurry, the season is wrapping up. I think I've finally found a nice habitat for some Blues but the weather is shite.

i think i actually may have found a bluefoot...most of the stem is bruised blue and the cap looks somewhat like a sombrero...I'll post a pic and sporeprint in a little while....

I jumped on my bike today and rode about 15 miles to one of my best patches. I really was not expecting to find much, but it has been cool and rainy for a few days, so I thought maybe I would find some fruits.
I did find a few.
This patch had nearly a hundred mushrooms at its peak in late May, but now it's down to like six. All of my small patches have stopped fruiting entirely, and the big ones are down to producing a few tiny shrooms. I'm calling the season over in these parts.

Same with me, it hasn't rained in quite a while, it's just really hot and dry. It sucks, because it seems like it's the perfect habitat...
