St georges mushrooms?







And i have a question...

How rare is psilocybe semilanceata in May??
I ask this because i found one in amongst longish grass today - it was still moist but had started rotting but i would say it had probably been there around 5 - 6 days. I went to pluck it from the grass so as to get a picture but the cap fell apart because it sticking to the grass and the stem was entwined with the grass - the whole mushroom was in a poor state.

I know this muhroom appears when day temps are maxing out at no more then 16'C and nights are into single figuers but i have never heard of one been found in may and was most supprised.

They look like St. George's to me mate, and I have no clue about Psilocybe semilanceata. Sorry

One pasture i spotted around a dozen but to tell the truth i wasn't specificaly looking for any one species. The other pasture are saw a few. On both pastures i didn't search the whole field because they were big, and what i also found was in some spots the mushrooms were actualy burried under tall'ish grass - oh and there were cattle & horses about.
