Specimen notes
Public Note:
spores dark brown, thick-walled (about 0.5um, but thin according to Guzman's definition of > 0.8um), with distinct germ pore (not Tubaria even tho it looks like it), cap viscid, gills broadly attached. 4-spored, without pleurocystidia. Some spores sub-hexagonal but most ellipitcal/mitriform. Section pratensis (ellispoid spores) , section Psilocybe (with inquilina. crobula etc, rhomboid spore ). Spores length=6.4–7.1µm (µ=6.8, σ=0.3), width=4.4–5.0µm (µ=4.7, σ=0.2), Q=1.4–1.6µm (µ=1.5, σ=0.1), n=10. This possibly looks like a mature P. nz where cap has flattened, but it is more robust than P. nz and has much smaller spores, although it does also have the ampullaceous cheilocystidia of P. nz.. I cannot place it in Guzman. Obviously near the group that include D. subviscida, D. crobula
