space cadet swami Posted June 2, 2012 I've seen these on the block up to 25cm across & nearly fluorescent yellow....they just look nasty. I know that a lot of people from down on the coast come up here looking for what they commonly call "Gold Tops". Any ideas...I know nothing about mushrooms. Also normally we don't get rain at this time of year, we normally have wet from Nov-March. I think the pinky coloured ones are what are commonly called toadstools in the north...like I said I know nothing...lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tonic Posted June 3, 2012 The larger ones look like Agaricus sp. or could be an Amanita sp. I suppose. The little pinkish/purplish ones are probably Gymnopus sp. or perhaps Laccaria sp. "Gold Tops" aka Psilocybe cubensis tend to grow in the warmer months (not sure, could still be good that far up North?) and generally grow in cow manure.

space cadet swami Posted June 3, 2012 they're growing right near the fence line of a cattle holding yard & they pop up in the same area every year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tonic Posted June 3, 2012 Don't look like cubes to me. Any blue bruising detected? Or any bruising noticed? The gills should be darker IMO. Take a spore print, that will help a lot. Agaricus will have a brown spore print, Amanita will be white, so darker paper would be ideal. Cubes should have a dark purplish-brown to blackish spore print. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
