Here are a couple of pictures of Cyan pins growing straight out of a log, could be a Birch.
Log Pins #1

Log Pins #2

What are these, they give a dark brown spore print?

1) Are those really cyans, did they bruise blue? I have never seen them grow from wood like that.
> maybe some sulfur turf? 2) Sulfur tufts are a little more yellow, these are Psathyrella.

I'm almost sure that the matured specimens are Stropharia squamosa. I don't know about the pins. They look like Psilocybes but not quiet like Cyans or Azures. Guess they are somethin' else as well but I doubt they Psathyrella. They are even more slender and the brown isn't as reddish and dark as the ones on the pics... If they grew in the same area they might be Stropharia squamosa as well. I think I remember seeing some last fall and looked a little like them, but I'm not quiet sure.

The pins are definitely Cyans as I pick from this area all the time and come across them in all their different fruiting stages. The cyans grow on hardwood chips especially where grass has grown on top acting as a casing layer.
This log was lying on top of the grass.
Any idea what Psathyrella. There are sulphur tufts (I believe)nearby, which I stuck on another post before.

Cool log cyans. here's some I found the other day. I've seen it in one other instance, as well.

Notice the stipes on those "Stropharia". They have a sort of knitted pattern. Also the caps are fuzzy. A good sign of Psathyrella velutina.

Your last picture looks like the mushrooms that I found in my backyard the other day. But i'm not sure what they are.

@ tylerws2006
They don't look at all similar to me, do a proper id request and i bet ALAN ROCKEFELLER will know.

I just saw cyans on a log the other day. I will try and get habitat shots from that particular spot next time I go out.
(I could be wrong, but they sure looked like the cyans that were immediately surrounding it)

They don't look like Psathyrella... The head seems to be way too meaty and the stem looks too stable. They just don't look right  Though I can't see if any of them has a pellicle I still would say these are Stropharia squamosa. At least a Strophariceae. The pattern of the stem and the head colour are correct for them...

Tyler, your mushrooms are different from gwums last photo.
Tylers mushrooms are almost certainly Lacrymaria lacrymabunda.
