I've managed to get some free spore prints sent to me from a member on another site I belong to. They are fairly new and don't have a name but here is what I found on them.
"This mushroom has generated alot of buzz in the myco-community in the past couple years. No one is exactly sure what to call it, including Paul Stamets who says in his book Mycelium Running "this species, not yet named heralds now from the San Francisco Bay Area and is probably new, or at least a newly imported species."
It has gained the nickname Psilocybe cyanofriscosa, because they've only been found in the San Francisco Bay Area. Once paper is published they can be officially named. Macroscopically, they closely resembles Psilocybe cyanofibrillosa, but microscopically, they're more similar to Psilocybe cyanescens. Here are some of the features which set them apart from cyans:
They are almost always short and squat, with the stem length rarely getting longer than 1 inch. They are usually near or around cyanescens patches, but sometimes have their own patches. They're usually shorter than cyans but the caps get huge, up to 4 inches across. The color is the same, the habitat is the same and they're hygrophanous, meaning the cap changes its degree of transparency and color depending on how much water it has absorbed. They fit the classic cyanescens description in every way except one > shape. Unlike cyans, these don't get that classic, characteristic wavy cap.
These are not the traditional cyanofibrillosa as found up in Washington State. Microscopically, cyanofibrillosa are very unique and easy to distinguish in that they have forked cystidia. (Cystidia are special, sterile cells that have a unique appearance when viewed under the microscope.) These could be a new species or possibly a regional phenotype of Ps. cyanescens. Stamets assistant Peter Werner said that "microscopically, they seem identical to P. cyanescens, leading me to believe that these are probably P. cyanescens, and that this species is simply highly variable in macromorphology."
The original patch was found in Berkeley, DEC 05. Here's a photo

interesting...
im almost positive ill fuck it up but im going to try to get an outdoor bed going with these
.... have only had myc growth in one jar, so i think my spores may be to blame; dunno
