Stropharia pseudocyanea?

[lipase]

I found this one last autumn, does anyone have any idea what it could be?

I recently thought it could be Stropharia pseudocyanea. In the descriptions they have all said S. pseudocyanea has a white stipe and yet in the pictures with the descriptions I think I can make out a blue tinge (and the name suggests there may be some blue in there too). Can anyone confirm or disconfirm that S. pseudocyanea sometimes has a blue tinge to the stipe?



Thanks for any help,

Jack

hi Jack

those "descriptions" don't know what they're talking about if they are saying that

check out: Stropharia species with blue-green colouration (the garden of the very house you stayed over at a while back )

I think you may spot a bluish tinge - admittedly these were very fresh, but . . .

Cheers Chris,

I suspect the one I have photographed isn't very fresh at all; I may have left it a few days before photographing. Either way I have no other information other than the photos so it might be impossible identifying it for sure.

I swear I read in either Roger Phillips or Michael Jordan about the white stipe and no mention of blue tinge. Maybe I'm fabricating memories.
