Full life cycle of some pan cyans
Notice the top right corner, you can see the dark blue oldies

Can you tell the difference here?
3 different types of mushrooms.
2 are unknown to me, i was taught they are called bullet caps. And to keep them out of the basket

The smaller of the 3 is a baby pan cyan.

[Boebs]

Not sure what type this is.
Is was on cow dung, stains blue. However very golden cap.




Some of the many faces of wild cubensis

Really cool finds Boebs!

Do you ever take prints from the cubes that you find?

[Boebs]

I do if it seems special :)
I have a few prints around from some wild cubes and pans

Anyone want a sunnyside up egg?

Pan cyans usually have white caps, but it's not uncommon for them to be yellowish, gold or even reddish.    Best thing to do is check how long the spores are with a microscope at 1000x, as this is a very important feature in the Panaeolus cyanescens complex.

Thanks alen!

It had all the signs of a panaeolus cyanescens.

However my microscope broke a few weeks back:/

I took some spore prints for later identifying.
