Hi there, I have an identification request from Southern Finland.
Habitat: near forest, suburbia County Uusimaa,Municipality Vantaa,country Finland, altitude? Growing conditions Growing in sporadic patches in a variable grass lawn soil, cold seeded lawn using good humus placed directly on existing lawn in April (earlier lawn more meadow than lawn, clay soil) Characteristics of the gills color,coffee and cream gills not attached, gills widely interspersed (see pictures) pores? Characteristics of the stem length 1 to 3 cm), diameter 2mm, color slightly lighter than cap, texture straw-like, hollow/thin/ Characteristics of the cap diameter widest 1.3 cm, color dark brown when fresh, straw coloured when dry texture rubbery, slightly glabrous when fresh conical with small nipple when young, flattening somewhat with age Spore print color chocolate brown Color that the mushroom bruises - darker, no blue coloration noticeable Scent of the mushroom: when picked, pleasant, inviting... Anything else you might find important: the majority of these were picked near to a well established Fir tree near to which Silver Birch also grow Some older specimens have small colonies of small white maggots 1 mm in size, springtails and what looked like an amber coloured spider.
Please share your wisdom so that the mushrooms might share theirs!
Seeker Heck - how do I upload my pix from my desktop (duh!)

Please resize your pics (6 megs is way bigger than necessary), upload them somewhere (e.g. photobucket.com) and include them in your post.
Having said that, those are some sort of inactive panaeolus, possibly pan. foenisecii.
Thanks for taking the time to put up a really detailed description, qualitatively good photos and for taking a spore print, wish there were more noobs like you

Hi,
And thanks for the description props and the possible ID - I checked out your suggestion and it looks plausible - one particularly thorough article on the species appears here in Erowid: http://www.erowid.org/plants/mushrooms/mushrooms_article4.shtml
including reports of accidental ingestions by children. It seems that it can contain psylocin in small traces but that it is variable. Guess I should look further afield than my own backyard - this country is after all teeming with mushrooms at this time of the year. I even had an Amanita Muscaria pop up out front of the house about a month ago but I'm not too interested on going berserk in viking style
Apologies for the oversized doc file - main intent was getting the file to be viewed and Word was my only alternative - will consider your advice in future.
Thanks again

As I've said before, foes aren't active in mice. All reports of them containing psilocybin are anecdotal at best, and it has never been verified that pan foes contain even trace amounts of psilocybin or psilocin, or any other hallucinogen.
Most likely, someone mistook pan foes for pan subbs, as they commonly grow side by side, and that's what caused the hallucinations in children. Or the kids had vivid imaginations, and the parents were retarded.
-------------------- If you want to find psilocybin in species that are not yet known to be psychoactive, you should do chemical tests. That way you won't get sick and die all the time. - Alan Rockefeller Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away." - Philip K. Dick
