help with identification

user1 · 11-07-06, 02:52

I picked these from a baseball field. What do you reckon? They don't much look like the pictures of Psilocybe cubensis i've seen, but most of them have been home grown. I figure the wild ones might be different. Or maybe one of the other psilocybe strains. Just curious.

Bluing of damaged tissue is a good indicator of psil...

Its hard to identify with just a pic on the fruit. For good Id you would want a spore print as well....

I believe not a cube, but cool as hell.

Not cubensis. I don't think they are active. Possibly a type of inactive panaeolous or psythyrella. Need pics of them growing in their environment (fresh), gill shots, and spore prints.

Yeah thanks guys, I know it's a bit of a half assed question without all that info, just wanted a few off the record thoughts. Thanks for your input.
