mud Posted June 10, 2015 Looks like a sub. Doesnt taste like one, theoretically. Growing mostly from poo and under Euc trees. Very slow to blue. Persistent veil remnant. Spores the same colour as gyms. WTF!!?? Photo is on the way.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zed240 Posted June 10, 2015 Pice of your examples would be great. I have noticed Psilocybe subaeruginosa to sometimes show a print that is quite brown. However the subs I find are never growing from poo, sometimes close, but never from it. I have had brown spored ones that grow from both eucalyptus and pine substrate. Check out the thread I've linked to below. I even put up some pretty good example pics of this phenomenon just today! Coincidence or some kind of mushroom overlord conspiracy? You decide. http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/21582830 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mud Posted June 10, 2015 The stems had that kinds spotty feel to them too. Can't remember what that's called. I'm pretty excited they're a new.. unidentified mushroom. Seriously halfway between a pan and a sub. And the gills came out further than the bottom of the cap. It sounds like something quite dodgy. Were it not for the blue.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LokStok Posted June 10, 2015 (edited) Doesnt taste like one. Mud, as one of the (in my opinion) great and fearless bio-assayers of this community....what?? *edit- as in Edited June 10, 2015 by LokStok Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

obtuse Posted June 11, 2015 Sounds like Cortinarius sp. brown spores is the giveaway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zed240 Posted June 11, 2015 What do you think of the ones I posted in the shroomery link above, Obtuse? Post http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/21785867#21785867 Also happy to send someone with a microscope a print of the brown spored and purple spored variety from the same location. If the results will be offered back of course. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
obtuse Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) up untill this year I was not aware of the brown-purple and the black-purple phenotype differences. really interesting. Those caps are of Psilocybe subaeruginosa the one being pointed to is questionable enough to throw away in my opinion. i don't see any bluing on that cap. do you have the stem?

Zen Peddler Posted June 11, 2015 Years ago i found some subs near canberra that had a reddish cap, much more brpwn spore print and cystidia exactly lile guzman's ps eucalypta. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zen Peddler Posted June 11, 2015 If the spores were more black another possibility is Stropharia rugosoannulata which seems to love growing from poo in Australia. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mud Posted August 26, 2015 It took a while to get back here to give all the bad news.Because I was so angry at the fail. One buddy who swore to keep the sample safe for me lost it.And the photographer took such a blurry shot on his slr that it's not even worth posting.Anecdotallly,i've got about a dozen people who can confirm the sighting.But as of yet, no hard proof.I went back to the site to try and find another, but no luck.It was a pretty incredible find. At an incredible time. I was definitely 'steered' to find this one..just after I saw an ex girlfriend on a festival dancefloor..and had to make a Kuick exitamine,rather wavily past the enormous suspended Pteradactyl Blah!It was a bluer with orange spores.could have been a small Gym, I suppose?Wont know now until next year.

Jungle John Posted September 4, 2015 I just picked up this thread , I think Obtuse may be on to it with Cortinarius , maybe " rotundisporus ". I found a lot of these around Middle Harbor in Sydney , and up at Mt Wilson , in the Blue Mountains , directly behind the CFA ....I found them in dryish Sheoak habitat growing out of the Sheoak " needles " covering the ground , sometimes close to , but not on wombat poo....always after some good rain....
