Are these psilocybe semilanceata?
    #7612404 - 11/08/07 07:10 PM (16 years, 2 months ago)

Hello all,

I was walking in my neighborhood and saw these mushrooms growing from the soil.  I'm no mycologist, but I think these may be psilocybe semilanceata (Liberty Caps) and need some help identifying them.

As I'm a newb, I'm going to post all the recommended info from the Hunting Forum Rules thread, so don't blame me if I put down a ton of unnessisary information; they're your rules!    :grin:

Habitat
Southern California, coastal city.  Found the mushrooms growing from the soil in someone's front yard, maybe 100-200 feet of elevation above sea level.  Average temperature lately has been around 65-55 °F and the weather has been very overcast.

Gills
Medium-dark brown, still attached.

Stems
Thin, moist, fragile...  Colored light brown to light tan/white.  Ranging from about 3mm-5mm wide and 4cm-6cm long.  All stems were attached when I picked them, and most were still rooted in the ground.

Caps
Medium-dark brown with a light tan top.  Ovate shaped (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pileus_%28mycology%29).  Diameter ranging from 1cm to 2.5cm.  Soft and kind of rubbery texture. 

Spore Print
I'm doing this as I type.  How long should I leave them on the white paper?  I will provide pictures of the print when it's done.  HOWEVER, some dead skin on my fingers turned blue and I can already see some blue coloration under the caps after I took a quick peak.

Scent
The tops of the fresh caps almost have a minty smell to them, but when I pulled the stems out of the caps and smelled the underside, it smelled slightly more than slightly like the dried mushrooms I've had before.











Like I said, I'll put up the spore print when it's done.  Thanks in advance!
