Dude!! Awesome!
I love these posts from New Zealand, Mexico, around teh world in a week!! super cool.
You have some beautiful specimens there. Looks to me like no 1 and 2 could be the same species, no? What do you think? What are the spore print colors for these guys?
Thanks for sharing Inski.

hello inski , your mushrooms have all a characteristic, the gill are discontinues, is something i never see in psilocybe around here. all have a pseudo ring or a small ring , is not a cortina huh,in the first pictures they seem different but share many characteristic, perhaps is the same species or two related , beautifully mushrooms by the way how ´potent are they are all the same potency or lot of differences , you are very lucky i have say that before. when no one find any , you always have your friends ,did you ever see it through a microscope, will be really good , have you success to grow this ones,well when are you gonna send me some?jaja. , i know the night are a bit cold now , i send you a to light your way .

Hi everyone, finally some time to answer some of your questions! I don't think the first and second specimens are the same species, as cactu said probably closely related. The spore colour of all the specimens is purplish brown although the second one is almost always sterile and very rarely produces a visible print, I agree kaal-kopje, very elegant:) Hi cactu, the characteristic of the gill attachment, did you mean decurrent? you could possibly call them subdecurrent or sinuate. I find the attachment of the second one quite interesting, note the fluffy white tissue where the attachment is, does anyone have a mycological term for this characteristic? I would say they all exhibit a cortinate partial veil but in the second species it's more prominant! As for potency I can only compare the second species with Psilocybe subaeruginosa, these pointy capped sporeless fruit bodies are very strong, threshold affects from one or two small specimens and the flavour is quite nutty and not unpleasant! attempting to make some micrograph's of the three specimens now. Thanks for the light cactu As for id i'm sure workman will be able to figure out the second one in the near future, the others i'm not sure yet! Thanks everyone for the compliments inski.

amazing as always! I am quite certain there is no term in mycologese for the fluffy tissue where the gills meet the stipe.
3 different active Psilocybe just from NZ.... exciting!!

I will take care to look closely for this feature in Strophariaceae in the future... Can't say I have focused on the area of attachment as closely.

I'll try to micrograph this tissue, it could be a particular form of cystidia, this has interested me ever since I first discovered this beautiful species, could it just be more noticeable due to the pale pigment and lack of spores? inski.

Could be... but i saw the close up shots of the others gills, and i certainly saw none of the white fluffy stuff. It definitely wasn't on the photographed specimens of the other two species, but maybe it was just those ones, and not representative of the species...
I dunno. I'll let you know if i find anything like this in the relative species here.

The images I posted are very good representatives of each species, only the pale sporeless papillate variety exhibits this feature, I have examined many of each species and these three show the characteristics of each very well, it would be very interesting to see if you or anyone else could find this feature elsewhere! inski.

hello inski glad you took your time to answer some question you have very interest mushrooms around there, that why i ask so much , here is in the stamets books, the more active species, particularly those high in psilocybin bruise bluish where injured, the gills usually dark browning color with whitish edges, and range from being subdecurrent to acutely ascending in their attachments...........the whitish fringe along the gill edge can be seen clearly on many psilocybe ... this is in a picture when is describing PS weilii in Stamets book, but what you obviously had there is a massive also in an example of narrowing-down technique says : after a close up the gills, we see that there is a fine, whitish band on the gills edges(There is cheilocystidia). because the presence of all the classic features we conclude that the mushrooms belong to the genus, psilocybe. so i guess that is a special feature as you said , all grow in the same habitat, plant pots , of what specie, jaja , have you find then in the wild that will give an answer, also aren´t this related of the ones Workman grow and someone from there send him and post pictures look a lot like it , very pointy caps, well in the pictures of the person, the habitat was in a wood chips bed, , the abundance of cheilocystidia, may be present in that specie also, but this feature you found is common like this in all specimen, do you specimen receive wind of some sort , cause maybe the lack of wind make this to be seem more easy, and in natural habitat more difficult to show this i guess, also noting will be growing now, i mean are not natural conditions for then to grow in the wild, huhn , nice mushrooms, i writhe this mush and boder cause i love to interact and learn , keep up the good work ,
