I have not checked the web site, but several years ago at the Breitenbush 
Mushroom conference there were a group of folks from Astoria Oregon who 
were lobbying for Specieshood for P. Astoriaences, others claimed it to 
be just a slightly larger, straight-capped variation of P. Cyanescens. In 
any event,  I've not heard of it since.  Perhaps this is the mushroom in 
question?
Just a guess.
