is this psilocybe australis?

[bio]

have found a few of these ...
is it the magic on or a lookalike.

thanks heaps.

i'd far sooner ask for an ID now than ask for a liver or a kidney sometime later

many thanks

I think P. Australis is just a synonym for P. Subaeruginosa. (ie, they are one and the same and are usually referred to as Subaeruginosa).

I think most people will need better pics to give you an ID on your mushroom though. From what I can see in the pic at the moment I would say NOT subs and don't eat.

Yes, Psilocybe australiana is just a synonym for Psilocybe subaeruginosa.

That sure doesnt look like Psilocybe subaeruginosa to me. as mentioned need much better pics to ID with. need photos of close-up of gill and stem, the whole mushroom, and habitat shots if possible.

Whatever that is looks like its going bad.

sincerely appreciated, thankyou very much!

They do look a bit like subs so I can see why you were curious but the fact that there appears to be zero blue/black bruising on any of the samples shown is a clear indicator to my eyes that they aren't Subs.

My thoughts were that it is a Cortinarius sp. the brownish gills and the slimy cap. potentially toxic.

thank you all very much. upon googling "Cortinarius sp" that is what it looks like to me too.

thankyou for looking out for the rest of us as we learn.
