First off, I want to apologize for the lousy pics and poor description of these -- it's my first post here to the hunting forum; I read the forum rules, but this post will not really meet those standards - I'll make an attempt at improving though.

Ok, anyhow - I was steelhead fishing next to a hatchery and a river in puget sound area PNW. To get to the river is some really nice hiking amongst old, green licken/moss covered shadowy forest - wet, lots of old rotting cedars and mulch and stuff.

Found the following three shrooms growing just off the moist/mulchy trail at the foot of a root of an old rotting mossy cedar. I was with the ol' man who was in a hurry, so I really couldn't spend too much time examining these; I basically just grabbed them and gently put them in my upper pocket.

They seemed vaguely similar to some pics of psilocybe semilanceata I've seen, but the caps on these showed off a very distinct blueing - and of course these weren't growing in grass, but are apparently wood loving. It's not like the caps themselves were inherently blue colored, but more like they were normally a kind of dark greyish/drab color that was darkest at the top nipple and lightened up to kinda beige towards the ends of the cap - they seemed as though they were stained a very obvious azure blue - which is what got me to stop and take a closure look. The stems were thin and white - flimsy not brittle - and the biggest one had just a tad of blueing at its base. The gills were cream/whitish color.

I took pictures when I got home (the blueing and color didn't come out very accurate in the pics), then wrapped them in paper towel and let them dry some, then took another pic. Sorry, no spore print! Gonna go back in a few days and try to find more.

At first I wrote Mycena subcaerulea which is a lookalike of M.amicta only found east of the Great Plains.

Or perhaps Mycena leptocephala or M. capillaripes.
