ferret Posted May 27, 2003 very nice rev, I think I may have seen some similar Gyms (maybe) around melb recently... cap was reddish tinted, kinda rough with little raised bits (sorry dunno how else to describe...) I'll get some pics to compare with yours... I thought i noticed some green-staining on the cap surface, but was hard to tell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spiders Posted May 31, 2003 Adrian had some interesting posts earlier about gymns located in Melbourne - and we found a variety very close to Spectabl. although according to literature that mushroom from japan contained no psilocybin, but other non-related active alkaloids. the bitter taste, and piss-poor alkaloid content made us steer away...

spiders Posted June 7, 2003 Id say from your pics rev and ferret's specimens that they are quite similar. Could be a new Gym species or a variant of an existing mushroom. These did resemble Spectabilis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
