squiresk Posted July 19, 2002 I was wondering whether anyone would be so good as to have a stab at an Id for me. It may not be a Psilocybian Species, but I have a feeling it is. The description. Slightly 'nippled' (Umbonate) Beige cap, turning to brown ring at the edge. Stain blue, dunno didn't try :-( ~5cm Brown Stem Cap diameter ~1cm Gilled Copraphillic, fruiting from Kangaturd! picture here. http://www.spew.kicks-ass.net/mushroom.jpg Kai.

spiders Posted July 19, 2002 are you sure it stained blue?? What colour is the spore print? Send me a print and a gill fragment and i can get it identified. Wicked picture btw - ill post it on the shroomery and see what people say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squiresk Posted July 19, 2002 I didn't try and bruise it, so I don't know if it would have or not. Whats your first impressions? The nipple makes me wonder. It is in a sclerophyll forest, Black Mountain in the ACT actually). I could pick them, tomorrow and bag them and send them to you if you are interested. All I wanna know is what they are. Cheers Kai.

spiders Posted July 20, 2002 They could be an inactive panaeolus species - or it could be a psilocybe - depending on the colour of the sporeprint. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waterdragon Posted July 20, 2002 the stem looks a little strange. i see shrooms like these on horse shit quite often. top marks for a nice clear piccy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squiresk Posted July 20, 2002 Well my best guess is Panaeolus subbalteatus so far. Will take a spore print tomorrow, if they are still there, and see if they stain. I thought the dark ring around the cap would be distinctive. Bluemeanie, I'll pick a cap for you if you want it? Thanks anyway, Kai. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spiders Posted July 21, 2002 Could be - its hard to say. pan subs are an active species though, so you would expect some bluing. Id say they are pans - if their spore print is black that would be for sure. If the spore print is purple/brown they could be something else. They seem to have a unique cap colour for pans Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spiders Posted September 14, 2002 If it has a purple-brown sporeprint it could be Ps.Tasmaniana, if its black its a pan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
