Zen Peddler Posted April 8, 2011 Several threads here with good info on G.purpuratus. Widespread in Australia it grows on logs and woodchips of several different woods. G.dilepis is one of the active gym species native to Australia. Quite active, it has been recorded in Australia's eastern states but may have wider distribution. It is also widely distributed overseas, europe, india, south east asia. An exellent aussie find with pics, assay and info can be found at :- http://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=24636 How was this identified as G.dilepis? All the gyms that Ive looked at under the scope looked different o both dilepis and purpuratus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mycot Posted April 9, 2011 (edited) How was this identified as G.dilepis? All the gyms that Ive looked at under the scope looked different o both dilepis and purpuratus. This was identified by mophological characterisics such as the hollow stem and by visual appearance and comparison. The unusual shape of the cap in the second pic of post #2 in the above link, also found the pic of G.dilepis from Bruce Furher's book in post #7 is I believe a further strong indication that this is indeed G.dilepis. With the gyms that you looked at under a scope there is a strong probability that they are undescribed active gyms. I have found several different undescibed active gyms and believe we have barely scratched the surface in cataloging and descibing Australia's gym species.
