SA hunt Second valley help ID?
    #10708300 - 07/20/09 08:37 AM (14 years, 8 months ago)

Can someone help me identify some of these species and which may be inactive and which are toxic? Went for my first hunt today and enjoyed it immensely. Not sure if I should eat or tea any without clearance from some experts.
I will get some pics up shortly of each individual species, and a response would be appreciated. Cheers!

Here is the rest of the info i need to give you for the ID.

All picked Second Valley, South Australia, pine plantation. Rotting pine, wet soils, river beds.

Ok, before ID request I will take shots of individual species. So hang tight before responding, cheers.

What is "SA"? South Australia or South Africa? Whatever you do, never put so many different finds in one frickin pile. It makes it extremely hard to slap an individual ID on the specimen. Group them by different species to your best ability, spread them out and take clear, good quality shots of gills, stipes and cap.

That said, I think I see some Psilocybe subaeruginosa in there, so I guess "SA" means South Australia.

EDIT: Beat me to the "South Australia" part. I was still typing as you posted.

Do the orangey ones bruise blue?

Don't even worry about the others, they are almost definitely inactive/poisonous.

I am no expert mycologist but the ones with the orange caps could be cubes.

We need more info.

Like: What did it grow in.
Does it bruise blue
Spore print colour.
Close up picks of the gills.
What does it smell like.
If you where stupid enough to taste it, what does it taste like.
Ect.
A picture isn't enough unless we are talking high resolution close up picks from all angles.

The orange caps COULD be cubes.

Edit: Lol, I guess you responded about a second before I could click post.
He is Prob from South Aus, not south africa, the only place on the entire african continent with shrooms is the transkei, and if he picked in in the 'kei, then well he can chomp up those orange ones right now.

Cubes do not grow in South Australia, especially not in the coldest season. If anything of interest there will be Psilocybe subaeruginosa.

Well it is actually pretty damn warm down here in South Africa, even though it is smack in the middle of winter. Infact, some spores of this active (barely, takes at least 20g to trip, and I might just have found a grass loving shroom in South Africa, as I can't identify it with anything, I just made sure it wasn't poisonous and ended up eating quite a bit of it, not knowing it was active, and ended up having a light-medium trip.) mushroom I found last year and chucked a couple of shrooms in my garden, actually germinated and there is a couple of mushies growing in my lawn, lol. FAAAAR from enough to trip sadly.

You are in South Africa, he is in South Australia. Big difference. Also it makes a difference whether you are in a northern province or somewhere in the Cape region.

What do you think of some of these Kahuna, do i need better pics and descriptions, such as spore test or is it pretty clear these are inactives?

You have some Mycena, Stropharia, Laccaria, and Agaricus.  None of them are any good.
