PNW Cyans?

Habitat: Found it growing in damp long grass at local college.
Gills: The gills look orangeish
Stem: A few inches, dark colored.
Cap: Wavy, brown.
Spore print color: Edit: Rusty Brown
Bruising: Have not noticed any so far.


I also found some long white mushrooms with a similar shape, longer stems. Are their any active mushrooms that look white? Ill add the pics to this thread if their is a chance of them being active.
Thanks!

These are not active or edible and are not in the genus Psilocybe.
Let us know what the spore print color turned out to be.

Not active either. Are there rings remaining on the stipes of any of those? If so they're probably Lepiotas.

i dont think there is any white active mushrooms for the most part except copes although when found naturally dried actives may have a much lighter color

Thanks for all the replies. It has been very helpful. I'm going to try buy Mushrooms Demystified today but it doesn't have all the species that grow in the PNW I don't think. Anyone know of any good field guides for the pacific northwest or will Mushrooms Demystified by good enough?
I'm becoming very excited about looking for mushrooms and look forward to learning a lot more. My thanks to this whole community for providing helpful responses and having a big archive of threads to search.

Here is the spore print for the first set of mushrooms. It looks like a rusty brown color.

Mushrooms Demystified is a really cool book, but not really for actives. There is of course the old "Magic Mushrooms of the PNW" guide, but I wouldn't bother with that. You can find better info online now.
