shruman Posted May 5, 2011 Well its been cold & rainy things that can depress many of us & we tend to look for the small comforts at such times but in patches of sunshine we hunt. Psilocybe azurescens 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qualia Posted May 5, 2011 wow, very attractive. i suppose you don't have much say at all, but how do people feel about mushrooms escaping into the wild? i know the general consensus is that plant species escaping from the back yard into the wild is bad, but what of mushrooms? being both woodlovers, would p. azurescens compete much with p. subaeruginosa out there? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Distracted Posted May 6, 2011 Very nice, I didn't think they were subs when I was looking at them. I have no ethical qualms about spreading this particular mushroom but i'm uneducated in the possible damage it may cause. As far as i'm concerned i'd focus more on the benefits of a more mushroom exposed population Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shruman Posted May 6, 2011 (edited) Are you fiending? Magicdirt has done pretty bloody well there, thanks mate. There is a thread where I mention some thoughts on this matter. "I know it performs well 'naturalized', no idea bout on agar though, I'm sure it would still be kicking around in the bottom of someones fridge. Plates would be cool to see. Do'nt people say naturalized leaps off much better onto substrates than spawn from a culture. Which begs the question?, What happens when you have an outdoor patch, it fruits drops spores on the patch spores germinate & mycelium grows?, does it knit up become part ot the patch & add new genetics to the patch or what exactly? Senescence, might aswell spell it correctly for searchability Yeah I dunno seems only to be a problem for you sterile nuts... Mushrooms apear to enjoy the rigours of life maybe they feel like little prisoners in their sterile cells. Enoki have been propogated asexualy for how long? We too should work as a mycelial network, share what ya got." http://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=25805&st=0 Thanks guys. & your wrong I love to talk, hyperverbosity, it is finaly coming out. No that is superfluos MD done a good job, nbut we could show some reasoning & I have talked about them in other threads if people want to poke around, maybe you could poke around form your own more concrete ideas, we can share & work it out together?

qualia Posted May 6, 2011 Fungii doesn't normally become weedlike unless the conditions are right and even then it is a transient sort of thing that passes as the conditions change. Many species can coexist together in a polyculture too so I don't know if competition is much of an issue. Interesting. that can certainly be argued for the plant species as well, mushroom ecology, i've not seen it, very much worth a masters or PhD in the field, i'm sure those in the know can identify a new area of study here, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
