Psilocybe pelliculosa : Conifer Psilocybe Spore Print Microscopy Kit

Origin: Oregon Coast, USA

Often mistaken for the liberty cap (Psilocybe semilanceata) which grows in pastures and has a distinct umbo (nipple) on the cap. Psilocybe pelliculosa is a small weakly active psilocybe that grows on well-decayed conifer forest debris, in mulch, or in lignin rich soils. Found in mid fall to early winter throughout the Pacific Northwest and Northern California.

The spore prints of this species were gathered from forest debris in an ugly clear cut near the Oregon coast.

The last image shows the separable gelatinous pellicle. This feature is helpful in identifying Psilocybe pelliculosa and Psilocybe semilanceata from other similar looking mushrooms.
