Fungi of San Diego 1
#13461957 - 11/10/10 01:29 AM (13 years, 4 months ago) |
|

Glossary:
Pileipellis - The top layer of the cap. Lamellar trama, hymenophoral trama - The inside tissue of a gill. Pileus trama, cap trama - The inside tissue of the cap. Cheilocystidia - Large bottle-like cells on the edge of a gill. Pleurocystidia - Large bottle-like cells on the face of a gill. Pileocystidia - Large bottle-like cells on the top of the cap. Pedicel - The place where a puffball spore attaches to the puffballs interior. Peridium - The outer skin of a puffball. Stipe - Stem Hyaline - clear
The migrographs which show the pileipellis, pileus trama and gills were made by slicing off a small part of the cap margin with a razor blade, then making a second extremely thin slice which looks like a sawblade. If you picture a sawblade, the tips of the sawteeth will be the cheilocystidia, the edges of the sawteeth is where the pleurocystidia are, the sawblade itself has the pileus trama and the back of the sawblade would be the pileipellis. Sectioning in this way allows these four important features to be seen in one picture. This type of section is very difficult to make if the material is dried.
All spore pics are at 1000x, and the divions on the scale are 1.00 micrometers.
All pictures and micrographs were taken with a Canon Powershot A710. Pictures were shot in P mode with auto white balance. For light mushrooms on dark backgrounds the exposure compensation was set to between -1 and -2. For dark mushrooms on light backgrounds, +1.
80% of the photos and 100% of the micrographs were edited with the gimp to crop, sharpen and color correct them.
After ten weeks hunting mushrooms in Mexico I flew from Guadalajara to San Diego to give a presentation to the San Diego Mycological Society called "Psilocybin Mushrooms of North America". (http://plantobserver.org/psil.of.north.america.ppt). Afterwards I went to Lipa's house for 3 days of mushroom hunting. The micrographs are made using his amscope. It is a good microscope and I like it but the light is not bright enough. It would be a great scope if a fan and higher power halogen lamp was installed in the base.
This is my second time in San Diego. Being just a few miles from Mexico, San Diego has many interesting mushrooms that we do not get in northern california. I found a lot of things I had never seen before. The Discisida's were completely new to me, and Boletus dryophilus was everywhere. We never find these species in the bay area. This is my first time finding Skeletocutis and Antrodia,
Hemimycena sp.
Tiny common white mushroom which fades to yellowish as it ages.
Psilocybe cyanescens
This collection is from Escondido and is the furthest south that this species has ever been recorded.
Pileipellus, pileus trama, hymenophoral trama, gills. 40x.
Pileipellis, cap trama. 100x.
Cheilocystidia, gill cross section.
Cheilocystidia, gill edge.
Pleurocystidia.
Spores 1000x
Camarophyllopsis sp. (maybe undescribed)
Gills, pileipellis 100x
Gill cross section showing lamellar trama,
Spores 1000x
Psathyrella sp., maybe P. longipes
Pileipellis and gills, 40x
Cheilocystidia 400x, stained with cotton blue
Spores 1000x
Pholiota sp. Could not key this one out. There are not many Pholiotas that lack pleurocystidia, but they are definitely not present in this collection.
Pileipellis, gills, cap trama. 40x.
Pileipellis, cap trama. 100x.
Cheilocystidia
Spores 1000x
Psathyrella, maybe P. bipellis but that species is supposed to have cheilocystidia. Could not locate cystidia in this collection which should be present in P. bipellis, so maybe it is something else.
Pileipellis and gills, 40x
Spores 1000x
Bovista pila
Similar to B. plumbea but has a smaller pedicel attached to each spore.
An older one
Spores 1000x
This species has a one micron pedicel.
Bovista plumbea
This is the common species that is everywhere, with the long pedicel attached to the spores. Spores ovoid, clear, smooth, 4 × 4 – 5 microns.
The pedicel on this species is around 8 microns long!
Chlorophyllum brunneum
The same species, from Balboa Park:
Leucoagaricus sp., section Rubrotincti
Cheilocystidia and pleurocystidia absent. Spores hyaline, 7.2 – 7.8 × 4.6 – 5.1.
Gill edge 400x
Spores 1000x
Gymnopus subpruinosus
Pileipellis, pileus trama, gills at 40x
Cheilocystidia, 400x, stained with cotton blue
Skeletocutis sp.
On coast live oak. White at the outside, pink with tiny pores on the inside. Approx 3 pores per millimeter.
Spores dark purplish, 9 microns, round, smooth.
Spores 1000x
Disciseda brandegeei
The spores are round and smooth, with a small pigtail. Fruiting body often looks like an acorn.
Spores 1000x
Russula sp.
Under coast live oak. Flavor very mild. Flesh firm. All white.
Spores ornamented, amyloid and subglobose, 8 – 9 × 7 – 8 micrometers.
Cap peels 20% of the way from the margin to the disc.
Cheilocystidia abundant, flexuous, cylindrical. Pleurocystidia shaped like the large oxygen tank on the space shuttle, often with a sharp apex.
Gill edge, lamellar trama
Pleurocystidia pointed.
Cheilocystidia abundant, flexuous, cylindrical.
Spores mounted in Melzer's reagent. Amyloid, ornamented and subglobose.
Boletus chrysenteron
Under coast live oak. Bruising sky blue. Spores smooth, some ellipsoid and others fusiform, not truncate
Boletus dryophilus
Under coast live oak. Staining blue a little. Red stem, yellow at apex.
Spores 1000x
Rhizopogon ochraceorubens
Under pine. Spores ellipsoid, smooth, non-amyloid, 6-7 × 3 - 3.5 micrometers.
Peridium 400 microns thick and reddening in KOH.
Inside 100x
Spores 1000x
Boletus truncatus
Pileipellis 400x.
This looks like a pileocystidia or maybe it is just the tips of hyphae.
Spores truncate. (with one flat end)
This looks a little like Melanoleuca alboflavida but is probably an undescribed species.
Pleurocystidia not observed. Cheilocystidia harpoon shaped with encrustations. Spores with amyloid warts.
Pileipellis, gills. Stained with congo red.
Cheiocystidia not abundant, very sharp, urticoid (harpoon shaped) with encrustations.
Spores 1000x. Normally these spores are clear but the melzers reagent lets you see the amyloid ornamentation.
Scleroderma reae
A rare species, no one had posted it on mushroomobserver yet.
The vice president of the San Diego Mycological Society is a really awesome shaman and he used some sort of shamanic bs that acutally works to find these in San Dieguito Park.
Peridium (outer skin)
Spores 1000x. Reticulate and spiky.
Calvatia sp.
Leratiomyces percevalii
We found a lot of these in San Dieguito Park.
Pleurocystidia absent, cheilocystidia extremely abundant, cylindric and flexuous. Chrysocystidia absent so its not a Stropharia.
Pileipellis, lamellar trama, pileus trama, gill edges. 40x.
Gill cross section showing the gill edges and lamellar trama.
Cheilocystidia and lamellar trama
Spores 1000x
Agaricus californicus
Spores 1000x
Laetiporus sulphureus
On Eucalyptus.
Trametes versicolor
Pores 40x
Pore 400x, with cystidia

Spores spiny, round, not reticulate, 12 micrometers, with 2 micrometer spines. Inside skin staining reddish after being cut. Outside instantly staining reddish brown with KOH.
Cross section, 3 minutes after being cut. It takes about a minute for the red to appear.
Immediately after application of 5% KOH solution.
Spores 1000x
Antrodia albida
Lipa found this on a Eucalyptus stump. Looks a little like a waterfall.
Pores, cystidia, basidia
Spores 1000x
Agaricus bitorquis
Very firm flesh, short, not staining red. Growing near the coast near A. bernardii.
Gill edge
Gill face
Spores 1000x
Hericium coralloides
On coast live oak.
Lipa photographing it.
Lentinellus ursinus
On well decayed coast live oak.
Cap with tiny hairs. Taste peppery, numbing the mouth for a few minutes. Spores 4 × 3 microns, globose-elliptical, with a conspicuous hilar appendage.
Gills serate.
Cheilocystidia not extremely common, but not rare. Of at least 2 types, one with a sharp apex and green spots inside, and the other with a squarely cut off apex, less common.
Pileipellis cross section, gills, pileus trama, lamellar trama. 100x.
Serrate gill edge
Gill edge showing interesting sharp cheilocystidia with green spots.
Basidia also with little green spots
Spores 1000x
Marasmius curreyi
The mycoweb page says it is one of the most rare fungi in California based in the number of herbarium deposits. Never before seen on mushroomobserver.

One of your best, if not the best, threads. For those interested in making superior micrographs, could you describe the method used for physically taking them? How do you shoot down the eyepiece? Is it as simple as holding the camera above the eyepiece (how close?), focusing and taking the photo?
If I remember correctly you refitted your Amscope with a Nikon objective (100x). What is the model number?

"Camarophyllopsis sp. (maybe undescribed)"
I read something on this from '08, I believe, that said it was on the endangered species list.
About your Scleroderma reae, I believe I found something like that late last month. I will post in a new thread. As always, an excellent post. I turn green with envy at your shared adventures!

Is it possible for OP to post what specific type of area these cyan's in esco were found, like in the sense of it being park or forest or in woodchip bed on side of road, in front of apartments? Cause these things dont just pop up in socal too often if im correct...

I hold the camera directly on the eyepiece, as close as it can get. I use the P shooting mode, white balance set to tungsten, manual focus set to infinity.
When taking cystidia pics they do not look like much until I turn up the contrast using the gimp. Before that point its a lot like photographing ghosts.
Its important to have the thing you want to photograph in perfect focus. On my camera if you turn on manual focus it gives you an enlarged window which is useful for adjusting the fine focus. Its better to get it in perfect focus with your eyes though. Get the edges as sharp as possible and press the shutter.

Yours is a Rhizopogon. Scleroderma is dark purple/black in the center.

Thanks. Yeah, my Canon A630 has the same manual focus as yours. You're right. It's always better to use your eyes. I see you upgraded on your camera. I'll have to check that model out. I recently got a Nikon L16 for use with the scopes. We'll see how that one works.

It's Gymnopus (without the il) subpruinosus... not active.
The genus Gymnopilus does contain some active species though.

I am just so happy that this thread is not so old that I will get crap for posting to it. ;0)
I was looking Alan up. (he has helped the Growers forum via Stonesun and I was curious)
Well, this thread stopped me cold. I live in San Diego and did not know that we grew that many useful fungi.
I think that this perception is driven by there being so many interesting species growing in the PNW. One wonders what can grow in our coastal desert.
Not to waste your time, I found this item while walking to my car at work:
* It was growing in the well-watered grass outside my company's building. In the turf. * The gills are light yellow where the flesh is white. They are attached to the stem. * The stem was about 1.5" long, white fleshed, and fully solid. Where the cap is brownish, and the stem and gills are yellowish with very small spots of an oranger (?) color. * The cap is about 1.5" wide. It has a flattened top, but is not concave. It is a orangy-brown and is slightly shiny. * I am taking a print on white paper and aluminum. I will report. * No bruising...at all, even after cutting it. * It smells....mushroomy. Nothing out of the ordinary. * It was growing in a well watered area, and so I am not sure that it is native to Southern California.
This photo tried to capture the speckles on the stem:
The gills (*very* dense):
Other photos:
(I will try to find something to adjust the levels on the last one)
Well, take care all,

Zap. That was fast. I did not expect it to be rare.
(It is nice to know that I have fellow fungals here in SD ...but Psilocybe Cyanescens, in Escondildo? WFT! ;0)
Now I am off to read about my small find.
Take care,
JD

I have a Radical phase contrast scope, but that is not the scope I used for this thread. I was at Lipa's house and used his Amscope.
If I was going to buy another scope I would get an Olympus BH2 or a Nikon. Zeiss is also very good.

Wow, $1200 is way over my budget for a scope:( I was hoping for something around the $200-300 price range. Something simple I could plug into my laptop. Searching google now with little info:/

There are plenty of scopes on ebay and amscope.com in that price range that work just fine for mycology.
The pictures in this thread were taken with http://store.amscope.com/t490a.html by holding a Canon powershot A710 camera up to the eyepiece.

That part of Mexico is dangerous but a tiajuana foray could possibly be done on bicycle.

"That part of Mexico is dangerous"
Very true.
...and if there was serious money to be made selling magic mushroom, then it would be lethal.
(by serious, I mean pot or coke money)

I know its old...but, this thread inspired me to go out hunting in balboa park today. This is some of what I found. Any idea what they are? The one on the bottom of the pic smells especially tastey.

Russula, Clitocybe, Melanoleuca and Agrocybe pediades.
Psilocybe ovoideocystidiata has been found in Balboa park.
