Anno will be receiving a spore print next week.
The caps have been too dirty to print w/o substantial contamination. I have 2 good prints and one of them (as stated before) will be traded to Anno.
I have every intention of getting this strain out there for others to work with.
Namaste,

other people have posted similar robust fruitings of Psilocybe cubensis coming from the mixture of horse dung and stable shavings, just never from kansas..
the reason they are growing in such thick and robust clusters is because of what they are growing from and where/when, so it's not like it is a 'super-strain' because it's the same strain of Psilocybe cubensis that grows throughout the rest of the world
it could undoubtably make a great culture (or strain) to be cultivated, but it isn't much different from the other hundred strains out there today, that is just my opinion, others believe that 'strain' makes a difference
maybe the horse(s) that brought those spores to your pile of dung came from texas or another gulf coast state, as nomad noted
anyways, aside from the cubes, i would place my bet on that same pile of crap producing really-thick amounts of Panaeolus subbalteatus also, sometime during another season..
you could probably somehow propigate the wild cube mycelium, somehow spread the viable cube mycelium.... all sorts of ideas
a completely interesting shroom discovery, completely believeable borderline unbelieveable

I agree whole heartedly with you GG. You KNOW me personally. I have no motive for propigating a "homegrown" culture in the wild and claim that I found wild cubes in Kansas. Pan subbs are all I expected to find at this site. Believe me, I was completely beside myself when I discovered the first cubes fruiting at this location. I felt like I was in Florida again!
The substrate has EVERYTHING to do with the size of the fruits. This area is nothing but one big poop pile. The horse poo is regularly spread over the surrounding grounds and fields. That is why we are finding cubes in the middle and on the sides of roads in this spot.
The interesting thing about this particular cube is the fact that it has tolerated temps in the 30's and 40's, and has practically solid stipes. As far as potency goes, I have always found a difference between summer and winter cubes in Florida (summer cubes being big and showy but lack potency).
At any rate, this find has been quite a highlight in my mushroom hunting adventures. Never in a million years would I have thought to find Cubes in Kansas, during late Autumn!
Namaste,
Peaceful Nomad

You KNOW me personally. I have no motive for propigating a "homegrown" culture in the wild and claim that I found wild cubes in Kansas oh i completely believe in you. i mean, they're growing so prolifically, that i wouldn't believe someone could actually cultivate what i see in the pictures,, it's all wildness
there is probably Panaeolus subbalteatus mycelium and spores hiding in there too..just waiting to fruit..
im just blown away by your finds dude
people from Oklahoma have posted wild cube pictures here of cubes that are fruiting during the first few frosts of the winter,, it just proves how hearty of a mushroom Psilocybe cubensis can be
..at any rate, it seems the shrooms are thicker in kansas than they are in florida lol!~

Just an overview of some of what I was blessed to discover at the ol' horse dung pile:
GG, you are right. The mushrooms up here are thicker and more prolific than in Florida. These monsters are at the very least 10% dry weight.
I wish you were up here to go hunting with me. The good news is Nomadette is just as much into hunting all types of fungi as well (finally!). There are plenty of Pan subbs, just too buggy to harvest. At this location, I have found all kinds of fungi.
Here are some inactive pics:
I should have updated pics tomorrow eve. The weather is warming up one more time before freezing temps come to stay for awhile. The weather has been rainy and there should be a little something coming up before the winter freeze.
Namaste,
Peaceful Nomad

Some more cubes from Kansas before we get freezing temps:
It is going to be 70 tomorrow. Going to make one last check of all 8 patches on Sunday.

I have hunted in Florida for a combined 8 years. In all those years I have never found cubes as meaty and potent as these.
Fungi has the ability to adapt to a given surrounding. I believe these cubes have been growing at this location for quite some time (we have found 8 individual patches in a variety of areas).
The fruiting of these cubes seem to follow the cold snap that comes with Autumn... like Weilii, Cyans, and Azures. This makes me wonder if Weilii are possibly cubes that, over a looooong period of time (a few centuries or more), have escaped their natural habitat, adapting to a different substrate, & developing the characteristics they currently possess as self preservation... just a thought.
Cubes in Kansas?!?!?!?!!! Crazy man! Every time I see them, I still cannot believe what I am seeing!!!
Namaste,
Peaceful Nomad

Went out today with Nomadette, not expecting to find much due to cold, dry conditions as of late. One of the patches was flushing one last time before the hard freeze. Rather than plunder the beauty we encountered, we did our best to harvest the entire underlying mycelial mat, attempting to give this flush a chance to do its thing. Namaste, Peaceful Nomad

I tried to nominate that thrid picture down for the November pic of the month, but I can't seem to do it. Keeps saying it's not a valid format; fuckers! Maybe someone else can accomplish it.
Anyhow, great finds, and I really do like that picture!

i know the topic has been exoughsted here in the shroomery but i have heard of fields in oregon producing cubensis year after year and also seen some ecuadorian producing way less than potential but in fact still producing in oct or nov, damn near freezing temps. no huge fruits like that though, just little wee ones.

This is Urban Legend, Cubes do not grow in Oreegon. You can throw out a terrarium in the spring summer and get some small fruitings or even a larger one but they do not return the following year.
Cubes are a tropical and subtropical species. And cannot stand cold weather.
btw, I scoured Oregon Fields for three tyears before i found my first liberty caps because I was looking foer P. cubensis based on a book by F.C. Ghouled from North Carolina who wrote about cubes and also wrote Amanita muscaria was the famed psilocybine magic mushroom from Mexico. He also misidentified photos of small penis shaped cubes as Panaeolus subbalteatus and that error was followed by jacobs who wrote of panaeolus mushrooms in Meississippi as the 2nd most pic shroom in a pasture (Not true either)
Mj
Cubes do not grow in Oregon unless they are in someones attic or basement.
