 New Species of Psilocybe in Maine? 
#7599187 - 11/05/07 06:34 PM (5 years, 6 months ago) |

 Lots of blue on the caps and stems,gills attached.dark brown-purple print, stem is hollow, most are small, largest cap is about 2 inches.
Found in Maine in november.
Growing under a holly in mulch on the edge of the grass line
The spot is slightly elevated above a wet wooded area.
These were all found in a two foot area.
There is no ring present. half the gills stretch only half way to the stem.
I sampled two small caps last night, flavour was good.
The effects were surprisingly potent.
Thanks for your help on this one Workman.
Anyone got any ideas? Thanks!

Stropharia aeruginosa maybe? I'm not aware of any active psilocybes in Maine. I'd like to see some more close-up pics!

Psilocybe baeocystis. In Maine? That's awesome! EDITED BY GG. They might, afterall, be a new species. I didn't even see that they were found in Maine. So this is obviously an edited post.

They do not look like S. aeruginosa to me.

Not S. aeruginosa. Maybe a new strain of Psilocybe caerulipes, they also share features with P. baeocystis.

no the guy said they were DEFINITELY ACTIVE.
I'm blown away.
the last 18 months have been out of control in the new species categories. also finding broader habitat ranges. we're finding em everywhere now.

And I hardly consider anecdotal evidence. You've been here long enough to know people sometimes say they tripped on clearly inactive mushrooms.
Though, in this circumstance, they are active. I can see that from the photo. I don't need bioassay reports to recognize the activity.

WOW!!! MAINE ACTIVES!???
thats crazy i couldnt imagine active mushrooms growing in maine!
does newone have ne idea what this species name is? im quite fascinated by this find, good shit warriorsoul.
one thing tho...dont rip up the mushrooms like that!!!!!:(
to me it looks like you picked alot of them, and nearly all of them have mycelia attached to the bottom of the stems.....which means that mycelia is not in the ground anymore......which means you have very well likely destroyed essential mycelian networking under the ground that is vital for mushroom growth.....which means the mushrooms now have less source to grow from......which means ultimately, this patch of yours is pretty much raped 
dont' be too surprised if you find that this patch doesnt produce anymore of these mushrooms( this all depends on how big this patch is)
learn from this mistake man, USE SCISSORS next time!
