Good evening my fellow shamans, Went for a great forest walk last Saturday and found some new magical patches. Many species about, but also found some of the largest (and tallest) Psilocybe Subaeruginosa specimens we have ever seen. Enough with the text, on to the photos; Meet Lentil the sausage dog, and faithful hunting companion in training to spot the interesting varieties. Xerula Gigaspora.. Not quite what we were after... THAT's more like it... Quite a few sizeable subs amongst the ubiquitous Mycena Sp. More hunting success.... and having a freakin' ball at the same time! :-) And now, the mother of all subs,.... Well the largest (by far) that i've ever seen. I used to be proud about finding subs the 'width of coke can' but these were bigger than the palms of our hands. I tried to get habitat shots, but they were growing in extremely tall grass and were pretty covered and didn't turn out well. Yes... that's a 50c coin next to that beast. The other subs seem dwarfed compared to this one, but they were all beasts in their own right before we found him.. He had a split cap due to the sheer size and was living with three others of around equal or slightly less size, but they had gone rotten. Have any other myco enthusiasts seen ones this big before? I'm curious. and some more finds that day: I said it before, and i'll say it again, I love a good day out in the forests. I've never seen super specimens (or a rich diversity of species for that matter) like this in wood chip mulch gardens, that's for sure. Not to mention the amount of fun the puppy has out there. Only had one run in with a leech, quickly diffused with a bit of salt and post traumatic puppy licks. I'll have to take my field guide out with me next time. Muchos abrazos amigos...happy hunting.
