You might want to add the purple-black s****e-print and remove the
cow****. It's presence isn't necessary for the vast majority of
Psilocybe spp. Blue staining and purple-black s****es are highly
diagnostic of Psilocybe, although not all psilocin/psilocybin containing
shrooms are from that genus... or even Family (Strophariaceae).
Gymnopilus is one of the more obvious ones not fitting that mold, but I
suppose if you're going to start straying into other genera/families,
it's better that you do some more book-work first in any case.=20
