My local mushroom thread

[dithyramb]

I don't live in mushroom paradise, at least to my current awareness, so don't expect too much from this thread, for now ;⁠-⁠)

I was prompted to start this thread from unexpectedly running into these. I may be wrong, but they seem very much like a psilocybe species to me. It was growing on and around dung, I think. It very clearly has a gelatinous pellicle. The gills seem very liberty cap-ish, minus the very flat bottom, and the spores will surely be dark brown. A print will come soon.

I just cannot fit it into any species that I know of.

What do you guys say?

Looks similar to Deconica coprophila

Interesting info

First described as Agaricus coprophilus by Jean Baptiste François Pierre Bulliard in 1793,[4] it was transferred to the genus Psilocybe by Paul Kummer in 1871.[5]

In the first decade of the 2000s, several molecular studies showed that the Psilocybe was polyphyletic[6][7][8] and the non-bluing (non-hallucinogenic) species were transferred to Deconica.[9]

Thanks for the reply, @Sakkadelic . Yes, it actually does look like Deconica coprophila. The gelatinous pellicle is what got my hopes up. Probably didn't mean what I thought.

I also think it may be Deconica coprophila, they grow where I am and look exactly like that.

That's exactly what I was thinking too, the Deconica coprophila bit at least.
