Yes I really should not have added that comment about the subos but while I was trying to take these pictures a carload of young guys stopped and pestered me for ages to find some magic mushrooms for them. I refused but the comment was a reminder. Thanks guys.
Ah, I suspect as much. Yeah definitely not a Psilocybe.
Thanks RandyL.
Definitely Cortinarius sp.
Ha.. sorry GM. The local hippies have named 'Psilocybe subaeruginosa' as 'subos'
Think you're right with Cortinarius. What do you mean by 'subos'?
