Psilocybe semilanceata, Victoria, Australia * 2
    #21677763 - 05/14/15 05:53 AM (8 years, 8 months ago)

Habitat: I found these in a hillside cow paddock in the Otway ranges, at an elevation of ~175 meters above sea level. They were growing gregariously within the clumps of long grass at the top of the field. Some solitary specimens were found throughout the field, more commonly at edge of the swampy valley bottom.

Gills: Gills are very dark brown when wet, drying to chocolate brown. Adnate.

Stem: 60mm to 100mm long, 1mm to 3mm wide, light brown, fibrous woody texture, very delicate.

Cap: 10mm-15mm wide, conical with a pronounced umbo, sometimes folded inward and dramatically darker at the margin. Extremely hygrophanous. When wet, striated grey/brown, tending to be a light brown at the umbo, translucent between the striations in bright light, exhibiting a separable, extremely viscid pellicle. When dry, a light golden brown in colour, and smooth in texture.

Spore print color: Dark purple-brown.

Bruising: Very dark almost black bruising with a blue tinge, exhibited by two specimens.

Scent: Psilocybe. :grin:

I've got my mind pretty made up about these, but I'll put it to the experts.

<- Habitat






<- A close crop showing one specimen that was growing from moss.



<- Shows bruising.
<- Spore print.
<- ~18 hours after picking.

Edit: thank you, obtuse, for removing all doubt! Removed possible from the title and gave myself a ribbon. ^_^

Awesome find! We don't see Victorian libs posted here very often. I don't know if that's because they're very rare or that there aren't many people looking for them.

Really nice find! :smile:

Warms my heart to see these posted, I can almost smell them they look so fresh and vivid.

Very nice pictures, and a nice print you got there as well.

:super:

Thanks TimmiT! I have a few things to say about this. Firstly, I would never have even looked for these if it wasn't for obtuse and Nevermind's pictures and info from their finds in Tassie (thanks guys!), but after seeing their habitat shots, I was fairly confident they would grow happily in the Otways.

The funny thing is this was the first paddock I checked, and I found seven specimens in under five minutes. I spent another hour combing the field and turned up just three more specimens. They're so hard to see, so I'm sure I missed at least a few. My range was limited by cattle on one side of the paddock. There is a sheep pasture next to this paddock that can be accessed discreetly (the only thing that will give me away is the sheep), so that will of course be my next spot to check.

They're either more common than we think, and nobody looks for them, or they're rare, and I got extremely lucky. This type of environment is very common in VIC, so I wouldn't be surprised if there are more to be found. I would love to hunt in the alpine areas. I have heard of finds in Beechworth and Mt Buffalo, but I have never heard of libs in the Otways. I'd like to know whether this is a first or not, so please prove me wrong if you've heard anything about Otway/southwestern VIC libs. Would the herbarium be interested at all in these specimens?

Thanks for reading and commenting, all. :smile:

I think it's pretty sad that only 2 people (including myself) in the Vic thread seemed to grasp the significance enough to congratulate you on this find.

So let me take this opportunity to congratulate you a second time. Ace find man!

If you see these again if possible try to get a macro shot of the stipe base where it attaches to the substrate.

There are only 4 herbarium specimens showing up in the database and just two of those were collected in Australia, so the herbarium may be interested in a collection.

I've heard that they occur in the Otways but never seen evidence of those claims. It doesn't surprise me that they do. Like you said, we have lots of the liberty cap's preferred habitat in Victoria.

@t0mm0: Well, we should know what to expect in the VIC thread by now. Two people is better than none, I reckon'. Thanks buddy. :super:

@inski: I will do that if I collect these again, definitely. What are we looking for?

@TimmiT: Cool. Thanks for that info.

I'm interested to learn if this species forms primordia mainly from the soil or from dead grass near the soil surface that has become colonised.
