    ID Request please

    Those pictures are extremely bad, but it's a Tubaria sp. or some such.

    Sexy cacti ID help

    T. cuzcoensis.
  3. Congratulations EG! I'm sure it's an amazing book with lots of wonderful photographs, and I can't even imagine how much work and dedication went into it. I'll have to wait for the digital edition, sometimes it sucks living in a (very) poor country...

    Amazing work as always! Thanks Olive and Mr. X!!

    preserving that tip ! - what are your fave blades for extra thick tricho grafting repairs

    You place the cactus on a styrofoam block horizontally so that the cut will be as straight as possible. And I like to use styrofoam specifically so that the spines don't get damaged.

    Rosle chef's knife sharpened with an agate sharpening stone. One decisive slice on a styrofoam block and you have a perfectly flat surface.
  7. I have nothing to show, I've been absent for the much of the last 3 months and most grafts succumbed to molds and winter in general. A few survived, and most of the seedlings survived as well (the second batch), so I'll hopefully be able to graft some more and show a couple nice semi-mature looking beautiful peruvianoids at the end of summer! Congratulations Change!!

    Going to church tomorrow for the first time

    If you ever go to Europe, visit one of the small-town Catholic churches. No singing there at all! Just hours upon hours of judgemental hate speech. Ahhh, bliss.
  9. What's that zelly? Looks very pretty.

    Seems like another win for the 'Witnesses'... Many a youngster started their cultist path thinking they'd join as a joke and knock some sense into a zealot or bone a hot cultist chick.

    In and around today

    The ones in the first post are Panaeolus antillarum and Polyporus arcularius, the one growing in the wood chips is Volvopluteus gloiocephalus, the next two are Auricularia sp. and Trametes versicolor, and the yellow trio are Leucocoprinus birnbaumii (beautiful picture btw!).

    Any idea what these are?

    Those pictures aren't enough to tell anything, we need to see the underside and spore print if possible. But they look like they could be a Lepiota species, some of which contain amatoxins and are lethally toxic.

    Mushroom ID please

    If you see any brown at all, then it's P. foenisecii.
  14. Berengar

    Mushroom ID please

    Panaeolus sp., probably P. foenisecii, but could be some of the psilocybin containing species. Do a spore print and let it dry for a few hours, then check the colour.
  15. Berengar

    can/should you take prints of mushrooms as they grow?

    That makes very little sense. It's extremely impractical, and the mushroom has a set amount of spores on the basidia, which mature all about at the same time. So a properly taken spore print should contain most of the spores produced by that fruiting body.

    Id - Dehydrated Peru ?

    Very cool spination for a bridgesii!
  17. Your last one is Leucoagaricus leucothites.
  18. Berengar

    ID please

    Yup, what Zed said. I wanted to say exactly that. I can see why you'd think Lepidella, but it's some kind of Macrolepiota/Lepiota.
  19. Berengar

    Id's please, 2 playground wood chip numbers

    Cool finds! First one is an Agaricus, perhaps A. moelleri. This second one I'm not too sure of. It's most likely a Pluteus sp., but I can't tell which one. Maybe even a dried out Volvopluteus gloiocephalus. I'd bneed to see the base of the stipe to be sure. Did you notice, was it growing out of an 'egg'?
  20. I've never reused moldy grain either, but the fact is it can be done if you need or want to for some reason. Water content can be a problem, yeah, but if they've been sitting for two weeks or less, they should be fine. Injecting a few ml's of water also couldn't hurt, probably.
  21. Yeah, sure. I'm sure most people will tell you not to do that, but you can. The molds and spores will be completely destroyed, the only question is how much of the nutrients from the grain have been depleted, and that depends on how extensive the contamination was.

    SEQ id please

    Always glad to help! No idea, sorry, I'm not from Australia. I don't know any good English language mycology books either. I'm sure someone else will be able to help you with that.
  23. Berengar

    SEQ id please

    Well, there are no toxic Panaeolus if you don't count psilocybin as a toxin (which I do BTW). You can't generalize, there are at least a dozen different potentially lethal mycotoxins, all with different mechanisms of action and LD50s.
  24. Berengar

    SEQ id please

    Panaeolus cyanescens. All Panaeolus have black spore prints btw. The second one is a giant puffball, Calvatia gigantea.
  25. Berengar

    SEQ id please

    Panaeolus antillarum and a Chlorophyllum sp.
