This one was labeled as Psychotria Viridris. I suppose it is actually alba or carthagenenis. It´s hard to tell. There are no Espinias present and neither did they showed up during the years of cultivation! Best Regards!

Looks very healthy! Great Pics! I only managed to germinate one seed. I´m not sure if the seedling will survive as it is very fragile. But i´m optimistic. Best Regards

I do not believe that they die within a few hours but as slugs are very mycophil too, it is definately a good idea to be quick. Slugs can rapidly destroy a lot of mushrooms in a remarkable short range of time.

The Problem is, that most of the mushrooms you will find won´t get you high. Besides you should make yourself familiar with the Galerina Genus! These are some of the most poisonous psilocybe-lookalikes you may encounter. Don´t be that foolish, just because of the unlikely possibility to get on a short trip. If you eat all mushrooms you´ll encounter,it is possible that you will be located a few foot below the mushrooms some time in the near future. [ 02.

Well Psathyrella asperospera used to be in the genus Psilocybe .I don't think that's what that mushroom is though. Thanks for the Info! I never heard about this. If someone has a Pic, please feel free to post.

Most interesting mushrooms do not occur wild in gardens. You should make yourself familiar with the basics. A Lot of Mushrooms are very Easy to spot after looking at some Pics. The Chances that you find exactly the mushrooms you are looking for are minimal.Not to say zero. I would strongly disadvice blind tryouts. You only life once.

You could try some nice edible Ones:-) I´m sorry but that sounds a little bit like Russian roulette to me. If you are really interested in the topic, there is no way to avoid byuing a good ID Guide.

Why would someone eat a Psathyrella?Please help me out. Besides it´s not sure if it is actually a mushroom from this genus.

Hi, indeed a very beautiful Plant! Thanks for posting the pics! I´m glad to hear some news from you again. Best Regards

It is more likely that you will get ill or sick from them. I would strongly disadvice from consumtion.Really.But probably you wouldn´t die, mabye:-) Mushroom 3 looks bad but without knowing the colour of the spores i´m really not sure enough to make an ID.

"Mushroom 2" looks like a RUSSULA to me.Maybe RUSSULA Emetica. Maybe it would be a good idea to make some images from the underside too. MUSHROOM 4 could be a LACTARIUS, if there was some milky slime coming of the wounds of the shroom. MUSHROOM 5 looks very fragile. I would tend to the genus PSATHYRELLA in this case. In my opinion, MUSHROOM 1 is definately not a cube. It´s possible that i´m wrong, but if you are in doubt,you should rather throw it out! Specially in cases where no signs of bluing are present. Like it is in your case. But Maybe i´m wrong. Internet-ID for mushrooms is kind of problematic. [ 02. July 2005, 16:26: Message edited by: Evil Genius ]

Sure! Somewhere i have some more images i made of this plant before it lost the leaves. I´ll do a search at the weekend. later
