    Hmmm, well I am still learning. So, I will say I don't know what it is :innocent_n:

    I still reckon it has some traits similar to Agaricus sp., but the fact that the annulus is absent is a very good point. Also the fact that it had such a persistent veil should be a good ID feature, but has me stumped at this point. Hopefully someone who is more knowledgeable will chime in and make a better ID than my attempt. I am pretty interested to find out what it is now.

    You'd be better off getting a proper ID at another site that I wont mention before consuming them. I am not an authority and don't want to put you at risk.

    Your friend might as well try making a patch, can't hurt. Just think, mulch, decaying sticks, twigs and leaves, very moist, but not soaking, semi shaded, no full sun exposure, well irrigated in the warmer months, hopeful fruits in the right conditions (cold and moist).

    Here is a list of some cacti seeds I have and would like to trade:

    T. spachianus x lots

    T.. werdermannianus x 25

    T. peruvianus 'Icaros' x 50

    Turbinicarpus lophophoroides x 50

    L. williamsii 'Texana' x 50 (fresh)

    Parodia roseoluteus x lots

    Probably have a few others as well, see how these go first.

    EDIT: I am after similar exchange. So say, T. spach would be equivalent to say T. grandiflora or a similar hybrid etc.

    Also after interesting Trich hybrids, American progeny etc. though am open to offers of similar.

    For the L. williamsii I would prefer a variety of L. williamsii.

    T. lophophoroides would equate to another Mexican miniature.

    P. roseolutues would trade easily with any other non ethno and fairly ordinary cacti. etc. etc.

    Yeah, if you can get a nice clear pic of the cap, gills and also the stem. If the stem is white with blue bruising make sure to note that. Though I suspect the stem will be very tough and brownish. If you can get a spore print that would also be helpful. I suspect it will be white, so you might want to take two, one of white paper one on dark paper.

    Don't look like cubes to me. Any blue bruising detected? Or any bruising noticed? The gills should be darker IMO. Take a spore print, that will help a lot. Agaricus will have a brown spore print, Amanita will be white, so darker paper would be ideal. Cubes should have a dark purplish-brown to blackish spore print.

    The larger ones look like Agaricus sp. or could be an Amanita sp. I suppose. The little pinkish/purplish ones are probably Gymnopus sp. or perhaps Laccaria sp.

    "Gold Tops" aka Psilocybe cubensis tend to grow in the warmer months (not sure, could still be good that far up North?) and generally grow in cow manure.
