Idiot Posted June 3, 2011 (edited) Hi Yesterday after work I've checked my local spot and guess who showed up :D Please be very careful with our new born babies and give them some time to spread their spore. Cut with scissors to save your self another chance of fruiting in the next rain. Plant one out of three in a new spot to save these amazing teachers.

Idiot Posted June 6, 2011 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bush Turkey Posted June 6, 2011 (edited) check out the survey reports on perth urban bushland fungi here>>> http://www.fungiperth.org.au/Reports-all/Fungi-Surveys.html look for the gymnopilus .cf purpuratus makes finding gyms a hell of alot easier anyone know what the .cf stands for???

Mycot Posted June 9, 2011 Ideally one should look for all the terms Gymnopilus purpuratus, Gymnopilus cf.purpuratus and Gymnopilus sp. Accordind to a glossary I have cf stands for confer, compare (with), so it would indicate that the specimen closely resembled G.purpuratus but wasn't accurately identified. The specimen would therefore be either G.purpuratus or a closely related species likely to be both undescribed and active. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Idiot Posted June 9, 2011 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Idiot Posted June 11, 2011 I was wrong about being wrong I've spotted correctly at the first place and these guys actually are Gym.P (100% tested ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ferret Posted June 11, 2011 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 by Gym.A do you mean G. allantopus? what are you basing that ID on? doesn't sound at all like the description Gymnopilus allantopus (Berk.) Pegler, Austral. J. Bot. 13,324 (1965). Etymology: from the Greek allanto pus meaning 'sausage-shaped foot', in reference to the base of the stipe which may often be quite swollen. Holotypus: Australia. Western Australia. Swan R., exact collection date unknown, J. Drummond, No 100, K type. Pileus 15-45 (-90) mm, hemispherical becoming obtuse convex, mostly with a small to broad umbo, occasionally plane, circular; colour varying from yellow-buff to orange-yellow at the margin, more ferruginous yellow to foxy brown to brown at the disc, 12F-G9-10, margin always slightly incurved, becoming decurved to uplifted in older specimens; young collections covered with a fine, silky, radially fibrillose to slightly tomentose universal veil which disappears with age, leaving small white patches 1-2 mm in from the margin or occasionally fine, white, appendiculate remains. These are lost in mature collections leaving a radially fibrillose surface which is dull, dry, not hygrophanous, finely punctate squamulose at the disc under a hand lens; context dull cream to lemon yellow, 3—4 mm thick at the disc. Lamellae broadly adnate to sinuate, thin, crowded, paler than the pileus, lemon-cream to lemon, becoming yellow-ferruginous, margin slightly paler; 2 or 3 sets of lamellulae. Stipe (12-) 20-55 (-85) x (3-) 4-8 mm, which may be enlarged to 23 mm at the widest point, central, with a small, white, felty, basal tomentum, equal to enlarged at the base, longitudinally striate, covered with fine, white, silky, fibrillose remains which form a fibrillar zone almost amounting to a fugacious annulus below the pruinose stipe apex; the fibrillar remains also cover the lamellae in young specimens, and are easily removed with handling leaving a stipe surface which darkens; firm, fibrous, hollow to stuffed. Odour: not distinctive. Taste: bitter. Spore print: golden rust. Chemical tests: 5% KOH on cap darkens slowly to deep chestnut but does not become black (-ve); small amount of lemon-yellow pigment diffusing from lamella fragments taken from young basidiomata in 5% KOH.
