Possible stuntzii, or semilanceata?
    #8154690 - 03/16/08 07:32 PM (15 years, 10 months ago)

First off, Ive never really introduced myself before so I'll just say hi; I've been a certified lurker for a few months but haven't posted much. I just moved to Oregon from Southern California, so the extent of my picking experience has been mostly around subbs, boletes, and chanterelles. I figured it'd be smart to post what some of my local findings since I don't know too much about the pacific-northwest mushrooms.

I live half an hour south of Portland, Oregon.

Just a few hours ago I went picking around a foresty reserve behind the high school across the street from me. About an hour in, I stumbled onto some vegetative, fern-covered slopes alongside a slow-flowing river and found a patch of what I believe are either psilocybe stuntzii or psilocybe semilanceata within a foot of a decomposing stump.

I'm working on getting the spore prints right now, so I'll post about those in a little bit I guess.


-Found in Northwestern Oregon beside a decaying stump in a pine and oak forest, beside damp, pine needle- and debris-covered soil.

-Stem much much longer than the diameter of the pileus; long enough to be wrapped around a finger.

-Cap structure variegated, but most specimens with a predominately ovate (probably due to immaturity) pileus. Some caps pointed, similar to psilocybe mexicana. Probably between 5-15mm depending on maturity and whether or not the cap has opened.

-Slight blue bruising around the base of the stem

-Scent undetectable for me.

Those are not Psilocybe. Do a spore print, I imagine it will come out either white or rusty coloured.

I'd guess Mycena or Conocybe.

You're right, I think; I just took a peek under some of the caps and they're all turning out a rusty brown sort of color.

I guess they're probably conocybe cyanopus?

If that's true, then at least they're still actives. :bongload:

They are more likely to be a deadly Galerina or Conocybe species. Are you sure they are turning blue?

I checked to make sure, and I'd say just over 1/2 of them are blued, but only around the very base of the stem. It's fairly subtle, though. Most of the stems that aren't blued have been severed above the base, otherwise they probably would've been slightly blued as well.

The base is also pretty engorged, sort of like a bulb. I dunno if that's normal or not.

Can you take some pictures that show the bluing?

I wouldn't eat them, there are many deadly species that look exactly like that.

I can tell that you are only comparing your mushrooms to psychoactive species.

I very much doubt you have psychoactive mushrooms, i see no bluing in those photos.

The mistake many people make is going out, finding some random mushrooms, and then comparing them to photos of psychoactive mushrooms.  The chances of random mushrooms being psychoactive are quite slim.  Look at a field guide or www.MushroomExpert.com, or www.mykoweb.com/CAF/ if you are trying to ID a random mushroom.
