Nice!! I went to sit in my garage last night when I heard one clap of thunder, to see the show, and it rained for ten minutes (off and on, in buckets) and that was it!! I moved my Bonsai out in it also. Gave her a nice watering throughout the night

I am not sure how many species are in this section. Could you check spore size and ITS sequences?

Might this mean that the mushrooms people grow here might be a jumble of closely related species?

Could be. There are two described. Depends on your definition of species - some people have broad species concepts, and others call any mushroom with a very slight difference a new species.
Species are diverging all the time, and the names are really artificial human constructs that are applied to nature. It will always be subjective.
Species, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.

As far as I know, just the two. I always give away the actives I find unless I plan on using them which I haven't done often lately, so these went to my friends. As well, the girl at work who will sometimes let me use her scope is on a leave of absence.
If you'd like I can send a few prints your way or a small amount of dried material.

I always find your explanation of the way people view species to be quite level headed. I get a little confused sometimes trying to interpret the phylogenetic trees and distinguish just which ones I think may be separate species.

Nah,not Strobilomyces, "American blusher" Amanita amerirubescens, (Tullos suggested A.rubescens var alba) Its actually a pretty cool phenomenon, you can pick them when they are still a bulb and immature, place them in a suitable environment and it will continue growing. This could be a way to get some nice bug free mushrooms of specimens that you cant otherwise grow.

Hello once again everyone here at the Florida Mushroom thread! Yesterday we got a heavy rain here throughout the day and night. It was a GOOD amount of rainfall. And today it got pretty cold, about 40°F .However it was a very clear and sunny day today, it was very clear and blue skys. So i decided to go hunting today before it gets below freezing. Well it was a fruitful and awesome hunt! At first i only found these guys in the first hour of searching. (Some Pan.Cyans and one P.Cubensis.)

But as i made my way to a new section of the pasture i had a sense and feeling that i was on to something and i looked down to find a cluster of P.Cubensis , i started getting excited but i didn't have my phone or camera with me so i wasn't able to get wild shots of the Fungi. Anyways these are the Cubensis i found today , i didnt weigh any of them, just letting them fan dry.

I am pretty satisfied for this to be November. If we continue to get rainfall occasionally like this, we will be in like Flin YEAR round this time my fellow Floridians, get out there and search while you can!  -Peace

Okay so this thread has been pretty silent , but i am patiently waiting for more photos of finds from my fellow shroomerites! Anyways, today i went hunting again,and it was once again, a very exhilarating hunt . We got a very heavy rain earlier in the week, so i decided to go hunting for the last two hours of daylight, well guys, i found more than i could find and collect before it got dark, and there are many more new sprouts, that will be mature in the next couple days. This time i collected a bunch of Pan.Cyanescens/Copelandia.Cyanescens. i found a few P.Cubensis aswell, but most of the cubes were immature and freshly sprouting out the mycelium directly off cow dung. So this time i had my phone with me and took wild habitat shots of some of the mushrooms. .  Those blue meanies growing and chilling.
Yeah buddy found several clusters of these guys.
 Some more Copelandia.Cyanescens growing beside some Panaeolus.papilionaceus, these were pretty mushrooms.
Here another shot of a comparison of Panaeolus.Cyanescens, Vs,Panaeolus papilionaceus, these were small fungi.
Something else i wanted to mention, i found some large sized Pan.cyans growing out of hay, the mycelium seemed to be growing off a mixture of Old cow dung and hay, but it was mostly hay, which is strange, there was a cluster of three shrooms, and then the largest was individually growing. They are without a doubt Pan.Cyanescens because they have alot of blue bruising the proper smell, the right spore print , but it was unusual how they grew, very unique and greatly sized Copelandia.

 Then i got this close up shot of the gills up close on one of the Pan.Cyans, very cool.
Finally here is todays overall haul

So i hope everyone enjoys the pictures, i plan on getting some more shots of the habitat and more finds in the very near future. I really hope others will deliver some photography of some mushies! -Peace
