Psilocybe species Maine USA

Description : Found in wood mulch, November 2007. Caps small 0.5-6.0 cm diameter, stem 2-8 by 0.2-0.5 cm. Spores: ellipsoid to mango shaped (9.2)10-13(14.6) by 5.7-7.3(9.7) microns. Cheilocystidia 19-31 by 5.3-8.6 microns occasionally forked. Basidia 26-31 microns. Warriorsoul collection. The mango shaped spores and cap fading whitish on drying seems to indicate a species in the Section Aztecorum. Psilocybe baeocystis is a good match microscopically. The only difference seems to be in the somewhat wider spores.
