Hi all. I'm going to apologize in advance for not having photos. (I don't have a camera). I know this makes things hard, if not impossible, so I understand if no one wants to offer advice. But I thought I'd throw it out there anyways and maybe get some general ideas.

Location: Seattle, WA

Cap: 1-3cm. A buff or golden color, or light brown. Significantly lighter than the Cyans in the area. The cap is viscid when moist, the margin striate. Cap has no nipple, the margins remain incurved for a long time, coming to plane in old age, but never turning up. They maintain a generally down-turned edge, even when the caps flatten (which they don't seem to like to do). Cap stains strongly blue/green, even from just pushing up out of the ground. Hygrophanous. Drying to a lighter buff/tan.

Stem: 3-8cm long, even, .25 to .5 cm thick. Fairly bright white, bruising strongly blue. Partial veil is completely absent.

Habitat: Found growing on decaying mulch in a park in Seattle. Growing in small scattered grouping out of the mulch. Mixing in with the patch were a few cyans, with much darker caps, some psathyrellas, and what I take to be a few gallerinas.

Smell: Very mushroomy, similar to homegrown Cubes.

Spores: Chocolate/purple, thick deposit.

Too light and wrong cap shape to be cyans, wrong cap shape/color for azures, no ring so its not stuntzii. My best guess is cyanofibrillosa, but I'm not really sure. Does this ring a bell for anyone?

this is totally what i've been finding at my little cyan patch down here in socal...

i mean, exactly your description.

i believe they're psilocybe of some sort
they share too many characteristics.
my guess is cyanofibrilosa, but until i can charge my camera, i can't take pics and i'm not confident enough to consider eating them.

what about the gills?
are they attached? fully or notched/adnexed?

Well, pics would help. Although, the characteristics surely fit, especially with the vivid blue bruising. It should definitely be a dark blue, in 'fibs and other mushrooms which contain high percentages of psilocin.

This is not a 100% positive ID, and you should definitely try and get some picture posted. If and when you get pics, just edit the original post. That will probably work best.
