ID help x 2: Hobart, Tas
    #10279352 - 05/03/09 05:14 PM (14 years, 9 months ago)

Hi,
I was hoping someone could help with IDing these Hobart mushrooms.

The first 2 pics are of what I think could possibly be psilocybe semilanceata. I found them in some longish wet grass. The stems are quite long and thin, about the same colour as the cap. The gills are a bit darker than the youngish p. subaeruginosa that have popping up about the place.

The second ID is for the next 3 photos. For these specimens I found one the side of the road is some eucalypt leaf and bark debris and the second in a grassy area, but again, near some leaf and bark debris. The cap is completely missing any type of nipple, very rounded. The gills are set apart wider than the p. subaeruginosa I've been seeing. 1 pic of the cap of this one includes the spore print. Purply brown colour. Slight blueing of stem and cap for these when I left them over night. I think they are definitely a psilocybe but I do not know what. Maybe p. Tasmaniana?

The final pic is of 2 subaeruginosa caps (on the left, with their prints) and of the 2 unknowns. The little one is the possible semilanceata - I couldn't get a spore print. Any suggestions how I could get one?

I am very familiar with subaeruginosa and am pretty certain that the other 2 types are not these.  Thanks for your help.

Great find, your first two images look like Psilocybe semilanceata!
I can't say for sure what the other species is without a microscope but it is most likely P. subaeruginosa!

Hey inski,

Thanks for your prompt reply! I will try and find more specimens of the first to confirm but I agree I think they are semilanceata - quite exciting for Hobart I think!

The second, looks like a sub but the gills are set further apart and the cap has grown quite large and round without any upturning that I am used to seeing on subs.

I will have access to a microscope next week and plan to check out the spores. Any suggestions as to what I am looking for under a microscope? I have some definite subaeroginosa specimens I can compare the spores to.

Also, any tips for getting the spores to drop from the semilanceata specimens so I can check them out? I laid the caps out overnight but none seemed to drop.

Thanks again.

I'm looking forward to hunting for some interesting specimens this winter.
