Beaker Posted March 16, 2004 What are the botanical names ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daevorn Posted March 16, 2004 Thanks for the reply, Beaker Im not to sure on the main ones but i think one was called teonanctl, and others similar.. cannot recall the other names.... Thanks daevorn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mesq Posted March 16, 2004 Well... it really depends... According to the literature there are a number of mushrooms that could have been used?? Psilocybe mexicana Psilocybe aztecorum Psilocybe hoogshandii (sp??) Panaeolus sp (something or other) By the way it is probably not a good idea to announce to the public that you want to collect Psilocybin mushrooms.. cos that is probably illegal where you are..i guess it depends what your intent is.

Daevorn Posted March 17, 2004 Sorry im serious i did not know they where illegal, i did not mean to offend you in anyway ,mesq. I have seem them been sold on australian sites so i thought you were allowed. Really very sorry, I changed the message anyway... daevorn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mesq Posted March 17, 2004 Mmm thats ok.... The only thing is that you didn't ask about spore prints you asked about mushrooms... which is a different matter entirely.. In sure spore prints for microscopy purposes are legal... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
