Psilocybe caerulescens South Carolina
| Description |
: |
This specimen keys out solidly as Psilocybe caerulescens which is not unknown in the SE United States. P. caerulescens was first described by Murrill from Alabama in 1923 and as far as I can tell it hasn't been reported from anywhere in the US since. This sample could be a remnant of that first described collection. Spore size and lack of pleurocystidia rule out the very similar P. weilii. Spores subrhomboid 6.6-8.2 microns. SEmushroomHunter collection. |
