Stunning and rare specimen, growing solitary in sandy soil, grass and moss, southeast Michigan. Base of stipe bruised blue immediately when plucked from the ground. Pholiotina/Conocybe smithii? Or is this perhaps Pholiotina/Conocybe cyanopus? Found more of what I believe to be the same species nearby, however they were less mature mushrooms and appear as if they may be a different species (later group pictures removed).
Possibly Psilocybe orinii nom. prov
or P. tasmaniana
found in a potted plant
Wavy caps? Mushrooms? I’m not sure what these are I’m probably wrong
found on new years, around 40°F, 5°C, waterlogged from rain, lighter caps were dryer/ underneath tree branches, huge patch on very old mulch, clusters of 2-3, caps seem to go convex when older, younger ones mostly flat or slightly concave
growing in moss, next to a bog
stem turning darker after manipulation
5 different fish, all with distinct throat slashes. This particular stream contains only coastal cutthroats.
