As I was just out having a cig in my garden, I looked down and noticed some brown, wavy capped mushrooms.

I know not to eat them if I'm not 100% sure, but before I pick them and do a spore test etc, would they grow at this time of year? Fairly warm weather with a lot of rain.

They look EXACTLY like these - http://www.mykoweb.com/CAF/photos/Psilocybe_cyanescens(fs-02).jpg

They probably are just look-a-likes, but you never know :p

The caps are about 2 to 3cm across, maybe the biggest one being 4cm.

LOOKS good, though that doesn't count for much without MOAR pix.

Do you live in within these areas?

Also, is it growing on wood chips or mulch?

Growing on mulch, and I live in England.

What colour should the stem be for cyanescens?

Spore print them before you eat them. Take a look at this guide, it'll have the info needed to identify them. Then cross reference them with the poisonous look-a-likes to make sure.

Spore printing them right now.

Should be purpley black, right?

those look like galerinas

they are far too dark

If any look-a-like I thought they would be Conocybe Filaris. But I suppose they could be a Galerina.

Just guna wait until spore print is done.

Try get a good quality picture and post it and maybe post it on shroomery.org if you have an account.

If not email it to me and il post it for you

I'm looking forward to reading your results.

that looks poisonous....fucking eat it...

the worst that might happen is organ failure and then death.

thats the deadliest form of mushroom poisoning right there.

Edit: the gills look kind of trippy in the miniature pic....eh...tqake that as a sign and die....

stop being so desperate for t3h high and just grow your own....

I was actually going to bitch at you that this...

...failed to show the base, which is often the first thing I look at - and then I saw the URL it was at and realized that you didn't take it.

Familiar with mycology? If yes, please try to include those features which define the classification structures, if you would.

If not, well... don't eat anything you find on the ground, no matter what it's spore print. ;)

Ain't no diss, it's just that these are the things you need to know if you even wanna look at mushrooms 'cause they're pretty without gambling lives on it...

^ one of the caps you can see the gills curling over, and they are CINNAMON which is a dead give away that they are not psilocybin.

season doesn't start for a few more weeks(like 2). I usually start the outdoor patch on march 3rd. I'd personally grow my own if I were you. It's pretty easy with wood chips. Wait, yeah, check if the shrooms in question are growing on wood chips(but still don't eat them).

The spore print is a browny purple, so I wasn't going to eat them anyway unless it was a definate purpley black.

But cheers for your post, now I know what to look for (well, more than I do now).
