0 PD. Posted April 25, 2010 Looks to me like semi ob. I have found plenty of subs that look ALOT like semis but that looks like the real deal imo. Nice find man Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Chiral Posted April 25, 2010 Yeah I'd very confident man, I used to pick thousands of em in wales back in the day and they look identical to those, I have some photo's..old school on paper...that i'll try and retake via my canon and put them up for comparison. what to do now that you found em is the question as they are particularly difficult to cultivate by hand...

0 gerbil Posted April 25, 2010 Now that is impressive, even the field shots look pretty damn 'classic' for ID. Should print them and get em under the scope to confirm and for fun. Got any vague idea on altitude found at? Really cool man, thanks for that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 PD. Posted April 26, 2010 Dont forget to make a report to fungimap obtuse. makes me wan get up the mountain and go huntin for tha lil buggers again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 MORG Posted April 26, 2010 Wow. That is cool. Never ever seen these before. I agree, you should provide a report for FungiMap. They have an observation record sheet you can download. M Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Mycot Posted April 26, 2010 (edited) First report of Australian semis with verifying pics I've seen. Love the way they look. Totally blown away. Edited April 26, 2010 by Mycot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 mud Posted April 26, 2010 Congratulations! Hope u took some prints Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 obtuse Posted April 26, 2010 (edited) few more pics: this one has quite a brown stem as does one in the first lot of pictures. from what i can see the younger ones have white stems. these were found on a cattle farm, one of the back grazing paddocks in the shade facing south, about 400 - 450 ft above sea level altitude, lots of dew - like really wet dew. they have that awesome stickyness on the cap that subs have, and the stems are quite fibrous in the same way, so they certainly feel like psilocybe sp. to hold. they dry out really quick tho. I am taking a print for further identification purposes. Cheers, Ob. Edited April 26, 2010 by obtuse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 ferret Posted April 26, 2010 what an awesome find, good work man there is a 2006 herbarium record, near Waratah , made by fungimap makes me wan get up the mountain and go huntin for tha lil buggers again! i am thinking the same thing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 JDanger Posted April 26, 2010 (edited) This thread makes me oh-so-happy. Love your work. [edit] Obtuse, can you wrap the stem around your pinkie? Apparently that's another indicator (not that I'm unconvinced). Edited April 26, 2010 by JDanger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 obtuse Posted April 26, 2010 Thanks for posting those pics and links Chiral. cool Cheers, Obtuse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Ace Posted April 27, 2010 Absolutely stunning. Textbook specimens. If they are not P. semilanceata, I'll eat my favourite hat. As a matter of fact, I'd eat a stack of hats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 tripsis Posted May 14, 2010 Wow, how did I miss this thread? They certainly do look like P. semilanceata! Awesome find Ob. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 tripsis Posted May 14, 2010 So, did you send away away gill samples for further identification, or make any herbarium deposits? If these are indeed P. semilanceata, which they do appear to be, it's a pretty important find. Were any bioassayed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Mycot Posted May 15, 2010 (edited) Wow, how did I miss this thread? They certainly do look like P. semilanceata! Awesome find Ob. I always felt this thread should have been in the main mycology forum so peeps wouldn't miss it. Perhaps it can be moved over for greater awareness along with some hint of semi's in the thread title. As you say "it's a pretty important find" and awesome. Edited May 15, 2010 by Mycot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 obtuse Posted May 16, 2010 Can this thread be moved, and title changed? Cheers, Ob. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 sketchykid Posted May 16, 2010 Geez, well done indeed Obi! Share the love mate, I know at least one other forum that might like to see your find! Top marks as always mate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Sola Posted October 20, 2010 This is a fantastic thread!! The field photo's links and supporting photo's are so good I feel reasonably confident I could identify this if found on a hike. But of course I'd post here to be sure. Thanks Ob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
