EG´s Kickass Trichocereus Giveaway Thread! Pics please!
Berengar replied to Evil Genius's topic in Cacti & Succulents
Here are the survivors from the War of the Molds. Matucana is definitely doing the best, Huancavelica and Rio Lurin are both OK, and only a couple of the tarmaensis and knuthianus left. I'll try to graft a couple soon, but it has been a very cold year, it's still cold, don't know how many will take. Hopefully I'll have a few ready for the spring sun in a month or two.- 161 replies

Advice needed: Growing Trinidad Scorpion and Ghost Chillies from seed
Berengar replied to Lucifuge's topic in Ethnobotany
If they collapse, it is very likely that their roots have been eaten by fungus gnat larvae. Watch for tiny black flies buzzing around the containers. I'm almost certain that's your problem. -
Advice needed: Growing Trinidad Scorpion and Ghost Chillies from seed
Berengar replied to Lucifuge's topic in Ethnobotany
Watch out for fungus gnat larvae. If you see a seedling starting to die, take it out of the soil, and if it has no root, you know what's the cause. -

Berengar replied to Maxuel Powers III's question in Cactus & Succulent Identification
Perhaps it's meant to be 'ironic', like zelly's $5000 8-ribbed pachanoi cutting, or whatever it was? -

And it looks more like a Cereus seedling than scopulicola... If someone is unscrupulous enough to sell a tiny sickly seedling at this price, why would they be honest about it's parentage? -
Opinions on seed from Botanical Archive?
Berengar replied to Conv3rgence's topic in Cacti & Succulents
I have some experience with Botanical archive, and it's not particularly good... I've ordered seeds from them at least six times before I realized they were dodgy. First, their seeds are very expensive, they have terrible germination rates and in my experience, they are often not what they are advertised as. Their shipping cost is also insanely high, to my location at least 4 times what the actual cost would be. But what annoyed me most is their 'seed mix' packs, Ariocarpus kotschubeynus, fissuratus and retusus 'mixed cultivars packs' produced 100% same plants, and in my last order of '300 cactus mix seeds' I received 298 Echinocactus grusonii seeds and 2 different small black seeds that didn't germinate. Suffice it to say, I will never be ordering from them again. -

A handfull of xanax, maybe a beer or two, and a Blackaadder marathon... Ah, bliss.

Too bad it doesn't show that kind of spination on crested growth, it would look amazing.

Well, the first thought is obviously cuzco. But looking more closely at the epidermis, could it be a form of Taquimbalensis?

EG´s WANTED List 2016 Chili, Cactus seeds, Nicotiana, and crop plants
Berengar replied to Evil Genius's topic in Wanted
Hey EG, I have about a dozen varieties of hot chili seeds, not huge amounts but at least 100 of each, I'll have to go look at my seed box to be sure. However, I wouldn't feel really comfortable with these being sold as they were all grown together, so some cross-pollination is entirely possible. But if you're still interested, you know I'd love to trade for some of your lovely Trich seeds. -
I hope you do too. That thing is an absolute beast, would love to see it crossed with something (very) spiny and fast growing.

Amazing, simply amazing... Is that Fields' validus with flower buds??

ID-found growing in fern from Bunnings
Berengar replied to Idon'tstudydinosaurs's question in Fungus Identification
That's true. It also has an unusual patterned stipe for a woodlover. -
Volvariella gloiocephala is an old name, the current name is Volvopluteus gloiocephalus, because it has been found to be more closely related to Pluteus than other Volvariella species.

ID-found growing in fern from Bunnings
Berengar replied to Idon'tstudydinosaurs's question in Fungus Identification
This is a Psilocybe species without a smidgen of doubt. Pluteus have tightly-spaced white to pinkish gills, and grow directly from wood. -
Yeah, it's most likely a wet Panaeolus foenisecii.

What type of subtropical climate do you live in? I live on the edge of subtropical (Mediterranean) climate, hot, dry summers, wet winters with temperatures around 5 C, with a few colder nights, and thorny blackberry is native here, grows everywhere and is practically impossible to kill. Raspberries and thornless blackberry cultivars on the other hand struggle, they do usually survive but do not produce well at all.

No, there is no danger of toxins leeching into the soil and being absorbed by another plant. Still, I'd advise against planting toxic plants among the edible ones, you or someone else could accidentally pick some material from the toxic plant. And if you're growing something like Aconitum, simply touching the leaves could cause symptoms. Toxic plants should be kept in their separate part of the garden, if possible with some sort of warning, so they don't get picked accidentally.

Not really, it would just point to it having a lower percentage of psilocin, but most wood digesting species usually do. -
Origins of Homo sapiens
Berengar replied to sagiXsagi's topic in Creativity, Spirituality & Philosophy
Of course not. Jesus invented us in year 0000. -
Amazing list EG! Wow, real tacaquirensis and narvaezensis... I'll definitely contact you when you get the tulhuyacensis.

Not active, not highly poisonous. Might contain a small amount of coprine, but that's unlikely.

It's a Psathyrella of some kind. Olive, all scientific Latin names are oficially written in italics. Actually, in scientific papers and books and such, all Latin words are in italics. Don't think the main reason is to stick out in a block of text, but it definitely helps.
