Those are panaeolina foenisecii, A non-psychoactive species which macroscopically resembles Paneolus subbalteatus. This species has a cosmopolitan distribution.

Good night from down under.

However, On Maui at the 3000 meter elevation on Kula Highway about thirty yards before Poli-Poli road is a field on the right side of the highway withy Koulao Ranch Homes and the Panaeolus subbalteatus in this field not only exhibit extreme bluing but they get as large as some P. cubensis.

When I picked themn in oregon and washingon in manue I noticed no bluing due to the red coloration of the stems. Which probably hide the bluing. In haystacks in the Willamette Valley near Corvalis, Oregon, when you part the hay where the mushrooms are coming out of, the fine matted pads of mycellium are already tinged a light azure blue.

Ehy they blue in Hawaii is a mystery to be studied someday by someone other than me who might get grrants to do so.

-Good Day, All!

went out today with my friend Marco from Sequim and we went down to Tumwater, Washingtons to check the hay compost heaps. We only found about 6 little one to two inch high Panaeolus subbalteatus and about 1,000 Panaeolus sphinctrinus. It was very dry in one half of the area and the other had thousands of non-hallucinogenic mushrooms in little dried rosettes and when we picked a clump of them they crumbled to dust.

We also found a puffball as large as a softball.

But it was strange weather conditions. The Pn. sphinctrinus had all gone black and gooey there. We also some some Conocybe tenera, not psychoactive and some gymnopilus there, also not psychoactive. I almost caught a red and black garden snake in the brush but he alluded me.

I'll keep in touch if any thing interesting comes up. Also have a new picture of the Treasure Coast of three shrooms and soon I'll start on the Cambodians again and on the Psilocybe hispanica from Spain.

everyone have a shroomy day.

Is that small one your holding in your hand the same one as the one on the right with the white backround??

and whats that shiney thing on the left???

heh

what is that thing?

Both shrooms are Panaeoluls subbalteatus.

The shiny cap on the left is also subbalteautus which is also hygrophanous and turns to an off-white shiny cap which may also become somewhat pitted and craclkked with age similar to the Copelandia mushrooms. It apparently awas mimicking the Panaeolus sphinctrinus which were also growing all around it. I have more new pictures from last weeks pickings but have not developed them since i have a lot of photographs to take still in the camera.

---Is this known to happen???
---Could you please try to expand on that idea.

I have pictures posted in my field guide at my website:

Have a shroomy day. Niice field guide G GreatOne234 who's name is hard to type.

The Panaeolus sphinctrinus has teeth on the edge of the cap and the stem is usually a reddish-brown color so you can distinguish it from the Copelandia.

The Panaeolus antillarum cap gets very large and thich. The edges of the gills are often white and the gills brqack and the spae of the capo from underneath is sorto f distorted. Also they tent to get rather large and silvery looking with age.

Check my site for soem Antillarums.(Shroom Guide and also the Thailand papers show Panaeoulus antillarum
