I’d say it’s magic regardless of whether it is hallucinogenic or not! :smiley: Has to be a good omen of your living micro-biome.

I have 4-5 mushroom compost brands available locally, more brands bulk not bagged too.

Whenever I make a tea with a different brand or topdress I usually find a different species of mushroom in at least one of my pots. I think it’s cool I’ve seen 3-4 different kinds in my plants over the years.

When the cap opens take a spore print please, that will tell you an amazing amount. Your in the right part of Cali, and the season for them finished not too long ago, that could be a legit magic mushroom growing there. Check out ps allenii;

If it has an orangey spore print it’s a gallerina, IE deadly. I get Gallerina marginata and Leucocoprinus birnbaumii in the box store mulch here in MI,

I would never recommend eating a wild mushroom except for the foolproof 5. I just like to ID them. The allenii season finished around you in april

That’s some species of coprinus

I would include Hericium in that mix as well. Very easy to identify with few to no look-alikes. For all wood rotters especially chicken of the woods, avoid harvesting from conifers as they can cause stomach upsets. Something about how the mushroom interacts with the resin.

Dryad’s saddle aka pheasant backs are also really easy. The cucumber smell and pores instead of gills is what does it
