I dont know what it is, but I know for sure it is not a p. cubensis or p. azurescens.

yeah. i dont think its worth any effort

hoping it was maybe a cayan

I don't know, but SWIM probably shouldn't eat it. SWIM could, but SWIM might end up dead, lying on the floor with puke oozing out the corner of his mouth. Try if you want.

swim isnt a moron

swim isnt a moron
I personally disagree. SWIM is a fucking moron, look in bad ideas. He's probably spent more time in jail than Ted Rogers.

better than nothing tho

i would advise you dont eat some mush you just found in your backyard but hey its your life.

that kind of looks like the kind people around here pick. here being southeast texas. Except the colors aren't as deep/defined. like this picture looks more gray instead of a copper/brown/purple colors we get here.

yea,

i figured its not worth my time and tossed it

wondering what other people thought

While it's a look-alike for about ten or twenty other things, of which one or two might be active, this-other-people thought... that crap with blue-purple spores seldom ends up looking like it has white gills, even if it does.

If you plan on getting into the picking-mushrooms-and-asking-for-advice-on-the-internet thing, or even the picking-mushrooms thing, learn the key features which seperate one genus from another. The cap, margin, and stipe are well shown - but you can't see the gill attachments in the picture 'n there's not a pair of sporeprints on black and white pieces of paper next to it in the photo.

'n, oh, yeah... we can't tell if it's without an annulus, or if the annulus is simply high enough up to be obscured, 'n I can't see for the life of me if it has a bulbous base, which becomes rather important with "the spore color MIGHT be white, but we can't tell."

The real fun comes from staining and microscopic spore measurement and examination.

thanks

im thinkin of gettin some better pics of a diff one

ill post em back here

along with a spore print

i think its white but idk i kinda crushed the cap but ima pick one today
