ID Request - Clitocybe nuda?
    #7845330 - 01/07/08 07:47 PM (16 years, 1 month ago)

I am 98% sure of these but thought I might actually try and eat them so figured it would be good to see if anyone here had a second opinion first.  About a week and a half ago I went out walking and found a pretty purple mushroom.  I took a few pics and admired it for a bit and then walked on.  Today I decided to return to see what happened to some really small ones that were there that day and found a whole bunch of them.  I took 5 and ran home to do the id and see how to cook them. :smile:












* Habitat
East side of South bay Santa Cruz mountain foothills. Just off a walking trail around and on a rotting log and  amongst duff.  Bay trees and scrub oak growing above.
* Characteristics of the gills
The gills are a pretty light purple color  There is a little notch where they attach to the stipe, like a tiny little letter 'u' next to the stipe in the line of the gill.
* Characteristics of the stem
The stipes vary on each mushroom from 5 to 8 cm. 1 to 2 cm wide.  Solid and fibrous.  The color is made up of two altering shades of purple, one very light and lilac, the other a little darker.  No veil or annulus apparent.
* Characteristics of the cap (diameter,color, texture, conical/spherical, convex/concave, etc)
Varying from 3 to 9 cm across.  The smaller ones are kind of domed, the larger more mature specimens have caps that have flattened out. Young caps have a strong purple color, with a tan blotchyness starting in the center and moving out the older the mushroom is.  The edge of the cap curls over the ends of the gills. 
* Spore print color
Taking a print now.
* Color that the mushroom bruises
No bruising.
* Scent of the mushroom
Slightly floral?  Kind of like a flower note to the regular mushroom smell.  I imagine it smells like lilac but that is probably just my imagination because of the purple.

Thanks for your always helpful input, the Shroomery has been a really great place for me to learn loads about mushrooms in general, not just the ones that stain blue (which I'll find someday, just not yet)

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.

They sure look right. The spore print will make it effortless. The color you don't want to see is a rusty brown, indicating Cortinarius. It should come out a pale pinkish tan for Blewits.

Happy mushrooming!
