editI object to the edibility of this mushroom being listed as poisonous. Here in the Netherlands, they are sold like any other intoxicant, with a simple warning not to drive or operate machinery for 8 hours. It is hard to deny that psychedelics are some of the least toxic drugs. If properly identified, it would be almost impossible for this mushroom to kill you by poisoning.
"Ammophila maritima"
editI removed this from the text, in spite of the reference to Paul Stametes book. That is because *this is not a real species*. Stametes is clearly confusing the names of two beachgrass species Ammophila arenaria and Spartina maritima. I'm unsure which of the two would be an accurate identification of the dunegrass he notes from the Astoria, OR area. Peter G Werner (talk) 17:34, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
Looks very similar to the poisonous Galerina marginata
editI was trying to identify the differences and I noticed that there are many pictures of P. azurescens with brown/orange spore print on the web that makes it even more similar to Galerina marginata. I don't know if there should be a note on the page warning about this similarities. The main difference then is probably that P. azurescens should bruise black/blue.
