P. Cubensis look-a-likes in Australia
    #12162920 - 03/08/10 03:42 AM (13 years, 11 months ago)

Sorry, new here.

Can anyone tell me how many look a likes for P. Cubensis there are in Australia (QLD), and if so, are they toxic?

I am planning for my next hunt to only try to find Cubensis as they seem to be one of the easier mushrooms to identify and find.

Thanks,

To the untrained eye, lookalikes are numerous and includes some toxic species.
To the trained eye, there is nothing that really looks like a cube.

So the answer depends on your experience. And since you're asking, I estimate that your experience as a mushroom hunting is probably limited. Which means that for you, there might be lookalikes to ps. cubensis. So make sure to test for bruising, pay heed to the gill color and spore print any specimens you collect from the wild for consumption or cultivation purposes.

I see Chlorophyllum molybdites on here often mistaken for cubes, or at least I used to.

Like Koraks said though, they really don't look like cubes at all once you do a little research.

Koraks AUSTRALIA DOES Hav 1 Type that can look so similar at times Even myself Needs 2 examine Closer FAIR DINKUM both species attempt to imitate the Other OFTEN I See Cubensis cover itself with spore to get the purpleish colour the faker Trys to lose its purple colour to look like Cubes Easiest way of telling is the faker Has grey Gills      UNCERTAIN OF Fakers chemical make up IE Is it poison BUT CAN Tell ya they aint Deadly
