Where abouts in the UK do you hunt? Yeah i went to my patch this week, nothing there yet, Im starting to think that there is gonna be a small timeframe for this season, so gonna have to go back out in a week or so.

peak district... i will be very concerned if i dont find any tomorrow... 2 weeks ago was the first time ive ever come home empty handed from my spots, in 7 years of picking there...
with it being high altitude, they usually start fruiting mid september, even last year when it was dry as all hell they were fruiting before now...

Hmm... well we have had some seriously messed up weather this year, so anything could happen.
Im in mid somerset, near cheddar gorge, up on the hills, perfect place for all types of mushrooms.

kaal-kopje:
the primary distinction i use to differentiate semilanceata from strictipes is the stipe. while old semilanceate seem to be able under some circumstances to become brittle in the stipe as they age and begin to decompose, P. strictipes has a brittle stipe while it is still firm, and seems ime to be so through all stages of maturity. this differentiation seems to work for me, though for all practical intents, i find little need to make any. it's of curiosity alone that i have been interested on this count.

thanks for that tip canid i only recently found out that i have been picking at least 2 different ps. species in the past years thanks to cactu and others on the shroomery i began paying more attention to details
for example in this picture from 2 years back mushroom 4,9 and 11 in my hand are strictipes and not semilanceata i now believe (no 9 also has a brittle stem as you can see )

this picture from last year; on the left semilanceata and on the right another psilo?. maybe strictipes, maybe something else?

i found these two recently, clearly psilo's but what species? coprophila? strictipes? or perhaps semilanceata after all?

i'm getting curious too perhaps i should start saving for a microscope

on washington state's olympic peninsula i was finding P. semilanceata, P. strictipes and what was either P. fimetaria or sierrae all in one common meadow. part of this meadow had been used briefly as a pasture for the community's goat.
btw: i got my scope, a nice AmScope binocular compound for medical/veterinary applications for about USD $300. i couldn't be more pleased with it.
