Psilocybe semilanceata (Fries) Kummer
Photo: Compliments of Pilze.




 

The first set of photographs on this page are from the European Fungi Lover Pilze. They represent the primary identifying characteristics of the species Psilocybe semilanceata showing their various shape, size and colors. Next we have two images, also from Holland of a collection of liberty caps wet and then a straw-yellow one from drying. And then from America's PNW, we have an image from Koraks of a beautiful nippled cap. And to round out the page, three images from Whatcom County in northern Washington State near Bellingham. Please click on each photo to enlarge. These are really beautiful photographs and I am very proud to display them for the phtographers on my site.
