Unknown Gymnopilus Species found in Florida. Please Help Identify
    #8766142 - 08/13/08 12:42 AM (15 years, 7 months ago)

I live in Clearwater Florida.  I was hanging out at this park called Hammock park and I had a feeling like I needed to go find a mushroom off the beaten path.  I go into a pined area next to a brackish stream and there was a cluster of these dried mushrooms sticking out of some pine needles.  I picked them up and smelled them and they smelled EXACTLY like every dried Cubensis mushrooms Ive eaten before.  I think they might be Gymnopilus sapineus.











I took the spores and put them in with some sterilized vermiculite, water, and pine chips in a plastic container and heres a picture of the blue mycelium that is growing now.

Uh, don't eat those. For one, there's no way of knowing what species that is without a microscope. For two, that ain't blue mycellium, that's THE MEAN GREEN aka TRYCH.

Do NOT eat those.

It may be a Gymnopilus but its hard to say since its kind of dried up.  Is it bitter?

Definitely some trichoderma growing on the wood chips.  I'd give it more fresh air, don't keep it sealed up and put it outside where it gets no sun.

The green stuff you're seeing and thinking is mycelium is just green mold (trichoderma), which is potentially dangerous to breath in. It could make you real sick.

I'm just worried that that mold is a toxic species.  They don't like any toxic trych species that I've seen online since it originally was blue and then it changed to like a turquoise color while the toxic species are green.  I don't know how it got contaminated cuz i sterilized everything in the microwave.  Is there any way to take out a lil gymno mycelium into a new culture if that is inface a toxic trych species.  I didn't taste the mushrooms nor do I have them anymore.

It is a contaminant so it isn't good, for you, or the gym.  Trichoderma

They travel around in buses at night and face away from the windows.  I swear it's the fuckin Nazis.  It's a religion for Sadomasochism and Devil worship
