Dave W Posted December 17, 2020 Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 Habitat suggests these represent a species of Panaeolus. The general appearance also suggests Coprinellus or Coprinopsis. Possibly a species that does not occur in North America. I think microscopy may be necessary to get a confident ID proposal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave W Posted December 17, 2020 Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 There appears to be a fair amount of staining on these mushrooms. Would you call the color "black" or "blue"? In the photo the staining looks kinda black. Edibility of some species of Panaeolus is not well-understood. Some are known to be psychoactive. Why do you wish to eat these mushrooms? If your reason is to have a psychoactive experience then we do not have such discussions here on WMH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mushman007 Posted December 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 I was just wanting to eat them for nutrition reasons. If they are psychoactive I would not want to ingest. id say the staining is blue to black Ive heard from people that there are no known poisonous species of panaeolus? How confident are you that these are panaelous? Is it possible that they are conocybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several contain unidentified compounds that have proven to be psychoactive, as well as known hallucinogenic compounds. Regardless of what anyone tells you, YOU are the one that must be confident in the identification of a mushroom that you are going to consume. 100% identification is the only way to ensure you are eating something safe.
