* Habitat: In a Psilocybe cyanescens patch in golden gate park. Its a pile of wood chips that has been there about 5 years and has almost completely turned back into dirt. * Characteristics of the cap: It looks a Craterellus species, but much smaller, like a cup fungus. This one is about 1.5 cm across. * Spore print color: n/a * Color that the mushroom bruises: black * Scent of the mushroom: mushroomy

I'll guess that it's an old Bird's Nest Fungus, perhaps close to Nidula candida.
Happy mushrooming!

Shoot i do not know. Does it have a white stem and bruise blue? I know psilocybes, morels,amanitas, bluettes. That is about the extent of my hunting experience. CC, do you have something to add?

I guessed either a very old Craterellus cornucopioides, or a very old Coltricia cinnamomea.
Other guess have included Polyporus badius, P. elegans, and Phellodon atratus.
Alan seemed to agree with Toxicman, suggesting Nidurlariaceae. I think they are correct.
The underside is smooth, no pores, no gills or false gills, and no teeth.

Well, while we have got the red pen out, spelt is a grain that you misused for spelled. Anywhooo, blewit is just a corrupted form of blue hat so you were not too far off base. In fact, I wouldn't say you totally blew it! I know, I know It's still less nerdy than cure's blueberry joke.

interesting choice of specimen to share photographs of alan
when i find something like that that cannot really be identified easily, i just assume that it holds the secret for the cure to aids or cancer, or something

Thanks, I do my best to keep people interested.

It probably is medicinal, given that it was growing on wood. At last weeks fungus fair, someone said that most the mushrooms that grow on wood are medicinal. At first it sounded silly and simplistic, but when you think about all the medicinal mushrooms, most of them do all grow on wood.
This one caught my eye because it looks exactly like a Craterellus.

Yeah, like Galerina autumnalis.

Probably contains plenty of beneficial polysaccharides. I heard this weekend that a good parboiling removes the alpha-amanitins (from death caps).
Don't tell Amatoxin.

seriously hough, parboiling muscaria is sound and they are damned good, but that's as far as i'm going to take it.

 Yeah, if she lived through it, they might send her back to the nut house. Hmm, I wonder where she is..

They are delicious without parboiling as well. Not sure if I have the guts to try them again, even parboiled. About the time the mushroom started taking on a metallic after taste, is when i started to get queesy.
Apparently Tom Volk had never heard of parboiling A. muscaria until the Fungus Fair this past weekend. It might have been when Douglas Smith was making fun of me in the back, and I was like "I knew I was taking a gamble, and I knew the proper way to cook them was to parboil" and then Tom gave me a weird look. He probably heard about the method a few times. I guess it's a West Coast thing.
