Do a search for liberty caps or Psilocybe Semilanceata, you'll notice how off these ones are. Wrong environment too, Libs grow in grassy fields and pastures.

Psilocybe Semilanceata Cap: 0.5-2.5 cm broad.
either your hands are REALLY small, or this thing has been fed scores of growth hormone, OR it is not a lib cap

nothing like. that mushroom bears no resemblance to p. semilanceata at all... thats like presenting us with an elephant and trying to pass it off as a mouse...

No its not a liberty cap.

Thats a pretty good image to show you how big they are, and how they all look slightly disimilar, the darker ones are wet, as liberty caps are hygrophanous
Quote:
The adjective hygrophanous refers to the color change of mushroom tissue (especially the pileus surface) as it loses or absorbs water, which causes the pileipellis to become more transparent when wet and opaque when dry.
When identifying hygrophanous species, one needs to be careful when matching colors to photographs or descriptions, as color can change dramatically soon after picking.
Good luck

and because P. semilanceata has a good range of pigmentations, ranging from orange-brown to olive green to dull brown, and all ranges between as they dry and fade to pale tan. some sporeless varieties can even lack all but the orrange pigments and actualy look remeniscent of candy corns.
to the original poster: the features which are of actual use are the pliant stipe, blue bruising, cap which is rubbery and translucent when moist, having a gelatinous mambrane which can be peeled free, esp. from young specimens, having transluscent flesh which show the striations of the gills through it's outer surface and which as it dries will fade in color, become opaque and loose it's pliancy, it's habitat growing from grasses/sedges and it's purple-brown spore deposit.
the papillus, or even umbo on P. semilanceata, while classic, is not always prominent or even present. moreover, this feature exists in a wide variety of mushroom species and is not crucial to the identification of this species. placing too much importance on such a feature can detract from the significance of those features which are of more use and could lead to mistaken confidence in identification.
--------------------
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.
