Qld cubes hunt
    #14075140 - 03/06/11 11:13 AM (12 years, 10 months ago)

Sorry for the poor post, its just gone 5am and I'll fix/retake some pictures when I wake up.

Went for a trip out to our paddocks to check if anything was fruiting, we were skeptical due to the temperature being around 20 degrees the last few days. We have picked before and pretty confident on most.

Here is the final cut (some were in pretty bad shape and we found so many we figured we could be picky)

415grams wet.





We then had 2 which were looking a little out of the ordinary, both had deformed looking gills which were brown and not very well defined. They both bruised blue.

No.1





No.2



The following were some kind of panaeolus, most likely either pan ant  or Cyans, the stems were very thin. Probably chucking them, the stems were covered in spores and jet black, saw what looked to be some blueing but it could be wishful thinking. I might try get a spore print. (sorry about the iPhone quality, its late and cant find the SLR camera.

I think everything in your post is active.  Those pans look like Panaeolus cyanescens to me, I can see the blue bruisings.  The rest look like good old Psilocybe cubensis, even the two you are not sure about.  Sometimes there are variations in appearence, there are even cubes with a red sporeprint.  I would print those unusual ones just for the hell of it, maybe you got something cool?

Nice finds :headbanger:

Oh, and wait for a TI to confirm, I'm only a novice. I'm pretty sure you know what you doing though.  Nice haul.

Thanks for the reply. I mainly posted to just give some shroomerites something to look at. I know I always get excited when I check the hunting page and see a new post.

As for the 'Cyans', you may be correct. The more I look at them the more they dont seem like Antillarum. The stems are very long, thin and brittle. The caps are white on the edges and a gold tinge on the top. Spores from what I can see are very dark and in the areas not covered in spores I can see some blue-ing.

Might give them a shot. What else could they be?

Either they are an active pan or an inactive pan, I'd say anyway.

If you really want more opinions on them, take better pictures in the sunlight or bright shade and either put them in this thread or start a new one.

I'll admit that the bruising I see on them could be the camera's doing, I don't think so though.

Yeah they are some very bad photos. Theyre so small and my lighting is so bad. Ill probably make a new thread, like you said. Thanks for your opinion.

We would still be picking. We only picked half of the paddock, then the owners drove down the road and pulled up outside the paddock. Shit hit the fan quick because we knew there was only 1 way in and out. That exit was where they were parked.

So we threw a jumper over the barbed wire and electrified inner fence. Then ran for what felt like for ever. Im pretty sure they saw us but we were long gone. We were caked in mud and had some damaged goods but made it out in 1 piece.

Nice finds! Those Panaeolus are definitely Panaeolus cyanescens.

Those light gilled cubensis are cool. Try printing them, you might get lucky.

Thanks.
Tried printing them over night. Nothing visible on white paper (probably should have used tinfoil) oh well... Also when I picked No.1, it had white flakes on the cap, I was curious about them but after bailing on our hunt they were no longer in tack.

They're probably sterile and that's why you wont get a print off of them. It never hurts to try though as some cool red spored varieties do exist.

As for the white flecks on the top of No. 1. I think it was just remnants of the partial veil. In places where the mushroom isn't disturbed by wind or other sources the partial veil can leave remnants on top of the cap.

What environment did you find those cubes in?  What were they growing on?

found them in SE Queensland North of Brisbane. They were growing in a paddock that we found to be optimum for fruiting. There is ample horse and cow poo. We usually dont even go in the paddock, most of the time they are growing on the side of the road :grin:

The paddock its self is usually very water logged. Some areas seem to be too water logged to produce. Last night was probably our last hunt so we made it a big one. Hopefully it will continue to fruit for year to come.

I have alot of spore prints now too, so I plan on going spore spreading around my area to spread the love.  :datass:
