    Hi,

    i encluded some pics above.

    In my Opinion, buying rare cacti to propagate them and to make sure they´ll exist in the future is a good idea. I do not eat them. Every endangered species i grew in the last years, was duplicated very often, to get a safe stock.Some Plants were handed out to some capable Breeders then.

    But i fully understand your concerns. Some people might not be interested in the future of a species. Best Regards EG Wells

    Hi Everyone,

    i recently bought this Cactus. It was labeled Triochocereus Peruvianus. Due to the seller, it is a habitat plant from Peru.

    As the spikes are very long for a peruvianus, i doubt that it actually is one. The longest spikes are about 10 cm in lenght. The Body looks very distorted too. It has 8 Ribs.

    Maybe someone has an idea,what this actually is.

    Best Regards EG

    You are right. It is probably Pl.Ferula, not eryngii.It occurs almost like a weed in my garden, in very large patches.Pleurotus is really a very effective genus to cultivate!

    The Bluing is a very good indicator for psychoactivity. Nevertheless there are some other non-psilocybian mushrooms which stain blue too. If your mushroom has dark spores and is bluing, it is probably psychoactive. But keep in mind that some poisonous Galerinas tend to develop some black blotches, which can easily be confused with a decent bluing.However, the Spore color of the Galerinas is more rusty brown.

    These are fatasses!Bon Apetit! They grow wild on my compost and occur in raw masses; very big fleshy mushrooms.But i´m not sure if mine are really eryngii. Don´t think so. Probaply your patch will last for a very long time when kept alive. Please post some pics of your Reishis too, when finished!

    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!

    Hi Everyone,

    i´m just wondering if this cactus could be a Trichocereus Camarguensis? Compared with the Pic on Trouts Trichocereus Information Page, it looks a little bit similar to me.

    The Plant has recently showed some Black Rot on the Tip which i had to cut off. Otherwise its doing fine. Maybe someone has personal experience with the plant.

    Best Regards

    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.

    Why would someone eat a Psathyrella?

    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.

    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.

    Hi Everyone,

    fortunately my Cola Verticillata Plant has recovered from some slight freeze damages.As these Plants are even more cold sensitive as i expected, i´m glad that she´s still alive.The Plant has lost all her leaves, but new ones are going to come out soon. It´s definately not a beauty but as these ones are a little bit hard to germinate, i thought posting some pics might be interesting. I hope it works.

    Compared to the other members of the family, the Verticillatas normally get a little bit bigger.

    Best Regards to y´all!
