There are report finding junonius specimens active in some parts of america but inactive from some others. Probably more study is needed. Look up Stamet too
They grow everywhere in WA and I found 3 different specimens of it here in Perth.
They don't have blue or purple stains so I haven't tested them to see if they are active.
I might try.

Idiot sounds like a troll.
I am so sorry that I sound like a troll. You are right as I'm very poor at telling them apart when they are small.
No excuses though, when I'm not sure I shouldn't say anything.
Their shape and texture changes base on the amount of water they are exposed to

Hello my friends
I was wondering around the bush for some good old Gym friends when I found these mushrooms and I thought that their colors are similar to my favourite Gyms and they are growing on the dead wood but their shape is not like my old friends!
I thought I'll pick a couple of them and take them home to undertake some proper investigation to see what they are as I haven't seen these before.
That night around midnight I wakeup to drink a glass of water and in the dark I've seen these beauties are glowing in the dark.
WOW
They look so beautiful you wouldn't believe.
I've tried to take a photo in the dark but my mobile is not the perfect tool to catch these photos.
Note: these mushrooms are not edible and if you eat them you will get sick but if you found them, take one home for the glow in the dark experience.

Hi Myco
It has been years from our last conversation.
I have a bit of a sad news my friend
Alantopus
But the good news is that it is growing exactly on the same environment as Purpuratus.
You are almost there. Don't give up my friend

6 or 7 of the same patch used to knock SWIM's socks off!!!
But hey there's a chance that these ones were not as strong as they used to be
-
Last Sunday SWIM found a good patch of Gym.P
16 good bluing Gym.P
SWIM warped the mushrooms in newspaper and put them in a jar in the fridge for Friday night.
Friday night SWIM took 7 mushrooms and while they still look fairly fresh with blue stains, nothing happened.
How can you preserve the mushrooms for a week (or longer if possible)?

Interbeing
I know my question is so boring and usually gets no reply but will you please please send me a pm tell me how to get hold of the 16th cacti in your 3rd photo collection?
-
are there any species in wa whch are even close in physical appearance to g. purp? if so are they inedible? ...
By looking at the 4th photo you can see that some of your mushrooms have brighter gills (like the color of inside of an apple). they will be your best friends from now on.
Stay away from orange gills because they are either:
1-Gym.A or any other name you want to call them and they are not active
2-there is a chance that is it deadly galerina (over 300 species of galerina are out there)
Deadly Galerina:
BTW thank you so much for cutting the mushrooms carefully, they will reward you for your good behavior in August.
If you find a new environment that you think it is similar to the spot that you find them leave a small bit of the cap in the woods to see if we can help these species survive the big number of hunters we have outside.
Good luck
-
... I think I shall go for a venture out to Lake Cooloongup ...
The lake it self is a salt lake and I will be surprised if you come back with a positive result
-
Similarities between the sub and galerina is an accident waiting to happen.
I wish the big brother who pretend to care about our health could understand that making these teachers legal might actually save our lives
-
Well done Vort
Never seen Gym.P growing on these logs and it makes me much happier now to see them in new spots.
-
yeah, this will do:
In the Cacti forum they thought I'm a spammer and they removed my post
Obviously my forum ID didn't help
-
I was wrong about being wrong
I've spotted correctly at the first place and these guys actually are Gym.P (100% tested
)

Hi
I apologize if I'm posting in the wrong place, I couldn't find trading place for the cacti division.
I'm a big fan of royal wedding and royal family and if someone in Perth can direct me to a smaller version of:
I can give you a full page of spore prints to help your microscopy research
These are local Gym.P from Perth suburbs
Cheers

Ideally one should look for all the terms Gymnopilus purpuratus, Gymnopilus cf.purpuratus and Gymnopilus sp.
...
Mycot
I think I'll be able to get some fresh spore prints next Saturday.
I found this new batch of Gym.p and I'm watering them every 2nd day, they should be in good shape for the weekend
-
Whatever you do don't forget to share the photos
-
Was hoping there would be a picture of a sub in here...
Gym is good too though
I am very paranoid about Galerina and there are a lot of them here in Perth
We all know that they look fairly similar to our Subs and I can not tell the difference
To be honest with you I don't have the guts to go to B city face to face with the brainwashed soldiers of THE MAN
I wish I could go there and see those Subs and then I could walk around in Perth and find them here
-
just the ones in this thread ^^^ are Gym.P, others in my gallery of today are random mushrooms
Random mushrooms:
-
false alarm
sorry to inform you that it was a false alarm and Perth is not cold enough for Gym.P yet and all these babies are Gym.A
Here are some photos from this morning:
And some random mushrooms in my gallery for people who are interested
didnt expect to see these when i took the dog for a walk today

Myco I heard in the past that there are some patches close to Curtin uni.
There are some dirt bike tracks close to Lake Pinjar which is covered by tall pine trees.
Also when you're driving to Yanchep, there are massive forestry sites on your left side which are all pine trees.
This is just in case your crazy friend was interested
