I found these out in the woods, and its been raining for the past few days. They were found in random groupings of up to ~10, just on the ground in old pine needles. The gills looked pretty tightly packed, going straight around in a cirle. Stems were about 2-3.5 inches long, caps anywhere from .5 to 2 inches wide. Ive yet to see any blueing, and Ive got a sporeprint coming. Caps ranged from umbrella shaped to pretty flat or curved up, but Ive heard pan subbs can do this with age.. Most seem to have a slight bump on top, followed by a darker brown ring, and then a lighter brown ring. I have an irky feeling about the lighter ones, but thought Id post anyway.

Sorry friendofthedevil but you do not have Panaeolus subbalteatus there, not even close really. The mushroom you seek is not going to be found in pine needles anyway. P. subbalteatus is something you are going to find associated with farm animals… maybe even Animal Farm… if your local library has a nicely manicured lawn. If you would like more information on what you have found bring on that print. They look a bit like something from the Pluteus genus however spore color should be noted. Good luck georgem

Well... if they turned out to be Pluteus you may have had an edible collection... but as I eluded to before I wasn't absolutely sure without a print anyway... and perhaps a little more information. georgem

Yes, eating them could have gone very badly indeed. Like um, death. Never EVER eat any mushroom you are not certain of!

Also, "subbs" refers to Panaeolus subbalteatus, "subs" refers to Psilocybe subaeruginosa. Happy Hunting!

Those are probably Collybia species or one of the genera associated with collybia. There have been many changes and new genera that have branched off of collybia.
None in the genus are known to be active.. I don't know of any that are worthy edibles either.
