Psilocybe papuanaObserver
jeremyheggeDescription
Occuring mostly on significantly decomposed wood. Wood not identified but likely Kunzea leptospermoides as this was the dominant tree host in the area. Also potentially Acacia dealbata.
Potentially P. papuana or something close in section Cordisporae.
Last 3 photos are microscopy.
Spores 6-7.5 μm long - 5.3-5.8 μm wide.

Spores were photographed under a microscope by Chance Brueggeman (cbrueg). He observed mainly 4 spores per asci, some less, and very few with 5. He observed it was dextrinoid in Melzer's Reagent.

damontigheDescription
Growing around wooden sign in irrigated lawn of developed land. Unfortunately a lawn mower or weed whacker apparently decapitated them recently and I was able to only find one older small specimen fully intact. Rhizomorphic growth in soil down to some well decomposed wood that seems to be coniferous. Gills pale but becoming slightly darker in age on a few of the clipped heads I found. Stipe shows blue staining. Gregarious fruiting of ~ 10 stipes

heelsplitterDescription
Growing in the same location as observation 454185 and observation 454187. Outside of the Northeast corner of Kottman Hall. Growing abundantly under the soil at the base of a Tilia sp. Quercus rubra nearby. Some ascocarps had been excavated and partially eaten by Sciurus carolinensis. Ascocarps up to 35.7 mm wide. Peridium verrucose. Texture firm. Strong pungent odor, described as being like “broccoli with soy sauce” by P. Brandon Matheny and students. I would agree with this description but add that it had a note of garlic.
