Possible Australian cubensis??
    #14095137 - 03/09/11 09:38 PM (12 years, 10 months ago)

Hello everyone, I have just recently relocated to Australia and was hoping someone could give an answer or another post to reference regarding this strain I found. It look very much like a psilocybin cubensis, but I am weary because I have heard of some look-alikes in AUS.
I found them in a straw/grass clipping substrate, they have hollow stems and have a slowly darkening redish purple bruise.

Any comments?

Those are not Psilocybe cubensis.  They are not active. 

I don't know what they are though :shrug:

If I may ask, what are the telling attributes?

I can't make out the bruising very well in the picture, but if it is bruising "reddish-purple," it is not going to be active.  Actives that bruise (and most of them do) are pretty much always some shade of blue, and I've certainly never heard of an active that bruised red.

The caps do not look right to me for cubes, in color or in shape, but I am not a cube expert.  The gills also strike me as wrong; even in young specimens, ps cubensis gills shouldn't be white, right?  (I also have an eerie feeling that the gill attachment in these isn't right, although obviously I can't really tell without an actual gill attachment shot.  Something just looks weird about them in the picture of the underside of the cap.) 

I'm sure I'm missing some, but all the red bruising gilled mushrooms I have heard of are either in lepiota, russula, leucoagaricus, and a couple of weird agarics, so if you're sure it's genuine bruising that might be a place to start looking.

Also, aren't wild cubensis exclusively dung-lovers?

I was pretty sure that all cubes have darker gills and grew for the most part in dung, but I saw these and got curious. My better judgement told me not, but I thought I'd give it a go with you guys, seeing as this is an amazing site for ideas and research.

also the bruising has now turned to a dark purple.... Which is why I haven't completely disregarded this as something yummy :smile:

Think spore prints will let you know... Just saying...

Ps. Cubensis spore print should be purple in colour
