Aside from the other misidentifications of LBM's and their
habitats, in your article your reference to P. semilanceata in exhausted
mushroom beds would more likely refer to Panaeolus subbalteatus, a
psilocibin containing, occasional contaminant in commercial mushroom
beds; it is most common on horse manure piles, and horse manure compost
is often used in making compost for A. bisporous production. P.
semilanceata is a pastoral species (not coprophilic) and occurs in
pastures in the Pacific northwest.
