A friend of mine is just starting out as well as I am however does not have an account and asked me to see if i could get these identified for him, i stick with casing so i dont have this problem, when he put his cakes into fruit he mixed them up so he does not know which are which he has to types it could be either Koh Samui Supers or Keepers Creepers this is his first flush and is trying to print so he needs the proper name. Thank you very much here is a few pics of them.

It is really hard to tell.
I am familiar with Koh Samui and the way the veil is breaking on your pictures(its not leaving anything on the stem) i could say it might be them. I am not familiar with this keeper's strain.

so far I see psilocybe cubensis!!! It does not matter what so called strain they are any more. You should not try to pass the spores on as anything but cubes.

The labeling of spores is for personal use he wants to see if he can find little differences between each, find what he likes best, if worse comes to worse i can just give him some spore prints that are labelled properly, just its his first cube so he wants to try to keep it going.

Haha thanks I will let him know I already told him he was an idiot for doing it but you know what can you do haha, i just posted to see if there may have been a big difference in the looks between a keeper or a koh from other pics i have seen it looks more like a koh, but i guess i should try to find some more evidence besides looks they must have some traits or some sort to make them more identifiable i will just keep looking just in case. But thanks for the input if it comes down to it i will tell him exactly that

People identify species in the wild. Strains don't exist in the wild, they are a man made thing.

Go to the mushroom hunting forum, speak with Alan Rockefeller, and ugh, crap, forgot the other names -- there are some knowledgeable people in there. They will need a print of the spores and close up pictures, they will be able to tell you exactly what they are!

A strain is a sub set of species, so let's say a hairless cat is a (sometimes) genetically altered cat which does not have hair...
As Tobes said, you can tell the species, but not the strain.

The name's serve to identify specific characteristic between the various cubensis available....
a cube is a cube is a cube as far as growing and the over all end product being a mature mushroom but different strains can and do demonstrate different characteristic's over others, B+ is a hybrid that can fruit off wood chips, but it is a cube, try to fruit South American or F+ off wood chips and they will fail.
Blue meanies thermo death at anything higher then 72f, they prefer 62-68f while colonizing (for optimum times)
psilocybin effects even varies from strain to strain, Ive grown out over 20 cube species and each one has something unique about it, hence why there is so many different names for them....
So to say a cube is a cube is a cube, yea, sure, they're all mushrooms and they all contain psilocybin but mostly all of the strains out there have at least one unique trait for them to get their name and if not consider it a geographical thing.
IMO, the bottom pic looks to much like Kou Thai Samui for me not to say anything, later.
