Gymnopilus Luteus in CT!!! - The Mushroom Appeared to me
#21814081 - 06/16/15 10:30 AM (8 years, 7 months ago) |
|

so i originally found a large amount of these on 8/24/13 and now i found a single one the other day on 6/14/15! i found them twice in two years! it was literally 2 minutes into a trail at a public park, i was not actally hunting when i found it, literally just walked right by it on a trail. i have gone so deep in the woods for mushies... and it just appeared. the only illogical explanation is that the mushroom appeared to me. i must be destined to germinate this spore print or even donate the fruit for science. someone should analyze it, determine its kavalactone content.
LUUUUUUUUUTE

so pretty (not the full stem) this picture made me realize how bad i needed to cut my nails lol

it smells so fucking good
it doesnt smell like a mushroom, it has a strong, pungent and pleasent odor of fruit and anise. the smell is completely unique, and unmistakable. i could seriously identify these by smell alone without even looking at them, its really a powerful odor. almost like a perfume.
so i have a spore print, didnt get a picture of it yet, actually didnt even check on the print yet because im so confident its g. luteus. im assuming it will be rusty orange, again just the smell makes me 100% certain its legit.
anyway, i dont think a single specimen will produce any effects, so the spore print is whats really important. from what i understand this species is somewhat rare, i cannot find any of its spores online at all. should i donate them? try to inoculate a log with them?

You could fire up a culture on agar with the print and mail the print out to someone. If the mushroom is still fresh you could also clone it on agar.
You could use the culture to make plug spawn for logs outdoors, and also try fruiting indoors on a sawdust block.

thanks ill most likely start the spores on agar and see what happens. its still fresh but time is running out, ill research cloning as much as i can but if it starts to rot ill have to dry it out! thanks

awesome!
second report out east that i've heard, but i think yours is first post!
someone should start an 'official gym 2015 thread' and that should be YOU!
nice find!
and ya, trim those nails, esp. if you're a guy!
oh, and why start spores on agar? you already have mycelium in the shape of a mushroom that has successfully mated and fruited. you're rolling the dice and its harder to start from spores. read up!

thanks man haha i might start that thread if the mods allow it!
ive actually never grown mushies so by the time i knew what i was doing and had everything set up it would be rotted, so ill probably dry it to save and do something with the spores

you put the plugs on top of newspaper, and then put a log on top of it? did it make it to fruit or is it still in progress?

Yea I was and still am ecstatic. Looks like the patch is fruiting again too. I'm searching all the streams within a few mile radius of this mulch bed in hopes of finding them wild.

Here is one from when I first found the patch. The others popped up a few days later but got trampled.


The patch is fruiting again so I'm crossing my fingers. Have some stem butts that are taking pretty decent to cardboard so hopefully I can spread them a bit.

anyway, i dont think a single specimen will produce any effects, so the spore print is whats really important. from what i understand this species is somewhat rare, i cannot find any of its spores online at all. should i donate them? try to inoculate a log with them?
--------------------
That's one pretty hefty mushroom and I think it would be premature to assume it wouldn't have any effect/ there are a few variables but 25 g fresh might provide a threshold of fact and 50 g might be interesting enough - i'd go for a mushroom omelette before is in very nice shape in otherwise a quick hot and sour soup will do. Enjoy and happy hunting I always wondered about early-season ovoids but never saw confirmation - thanks for providing thoughts of new destinations . G

ive actually never been able to get myself to eat wild shrooms, im very intimidated by them. i dont know what its going to take for me to eat it.
especially not when i can just take some mhrb spice and smoke it where i found it and pretend i ate it. lol
im just fascinated by the fact that the experience can just grow in nature like that. there are just too many variables for me to feel safe ingesting something unless it was a species which actually bruised blue and was clearly active.
or maybe i just need to grow some balls and eat it? i have a very conflicting relationship with the mushroom

I find, Gymnopilus Luteus only bruise when you dry them completely. They hardly bruise while fresh, maybe a tiny bit of blue or green, but hardly if not at all.
But you dry them fuckers, and they are a deep indigo blue. I have tripped on Gymnopilus Luteus 5-10 times, and it is the most wonderful dream like feeling ever, SO MUCH different than cubes.
Less visuals, they are more whispy, bright, but the body feeling is 100% dream euphoria. God like. giggly. Im waiting on this log to re grow so I can take spore prints and try and cultivate them.

By the way, I had searched all over town, all the nature reserves, wooded areas in my area, all of them. Had not found ANYTHING active. Until one day I walk outside my apartment to this tiny patch of woods, Im just walking on a trail, not looking for mushrooms. Yet I see to my left about 20ft away these pretty yellow mushrooms growing on a log.
They are rare it seems, yet they have foudn us both

hmm i might just eat it, im just scared of the wrong i.d., im no expert.... but i mean the trusted identifiers seem to agree with my finds, i think they would have let me know if something was up...
oh and how you found them is almost exactly how i found them!
i think the body high is so different because theyre reported to contain kavalactones, its like taking shrooms and kava-kava at once. i think ill end up eating it once its dry.
ive gotten a single piece to bruise from what i found two years ago. i took a stem, and mashed it as hard as i could between my fingers, then ripped it in half length wise. i put the pieces at the bottom of a plastic bag where they sat in their own juices. 12 hours later both of those stem pieces were BLUE i mean completely saturated blue, they dried up into little crispy black pieces.
my current find is probably almost dry, ill have to check on it.

already have, got a thick rusty orange print from it. its the proper color, the only thing that concerns me is the annulus is not very persistent. there is an annular zone, and its located where it should be but im not seeing the classic red ring like in my other pictures. the gills appear to be notched, the stem is wood-like and fibrous, the cap is how it should be, and it smells like it should. everything checks out, i would love to put the spores or a piece of flesh under a microscope but unfortunately that isn't currently possible.
maybe i should eat some of the chicken of the woods thats fruiting everywhere and get over my phobia of wild mushies. idk, i feel like eventually i'll get it under a microscope and have a 100% i.d. and then id have no excuse to not consider a bioassay.

Hi guys, a couple things to ask/add to this thread;' firstly, ive found Heaps of rockin' yellow shrooms like that in the last week, at the risk of sounding like a flat stick novice, are they active and to what extent? If they're as good as i'd like them to be, i'll pick them from my front garden the second u give the word... next, what are the chances of u bringing me up to speed with these guys (pictured) and lastly, are all shrooms with blue colouring actives??... Thanks heaps guys

The ones that grew on the log, I harvested many times, probably got a full dry ounce+ between multiple harvests, NONE had an anulus/ring. The stems were bare. But they WERE luteus. Take a lil piece and put it in your mouth and hold it on/ or under your tongue for 5 mins. If that makes your mouth/tongue numb then it is poison.

It would be interesting to mix a non-active Gymnopilus with cubes to see if you get the same feeling.

im very sure ive read several times that kavalactones have been found in gyms. this would be consistent with the effects felt, it is reported to be a very mellow high. i would imagine that drinking a strong cup of kava waka and than taking cubes might be somewhere in the ballpark.
and if the inactive gyms could somehow alter the effects of cubensis, than wouldn't it be active in its own right?

Ive never heard kavalactones being in Gymnopilus species, but I have heard of a unique chemical called Gymnopilin.
Whatever it is, it produces a very unique, I agree mellow high. Its strong, but mellow vibes instead of intense.
And the potency varies, Ive had 20g fresh me and my cousin each had, we were flyin, and my cousin is 200+ pounds.

so this is on wiki
"Several species of Gymnopilus contain bis-noryangonin [4-hydroxy-6-(4-hydrostyryl)-2-pyrone] and hispidine [4-hydroxy-6-(3,4-dihydroxystyryl)-2-pyrone], which are closely related to the alpha-pyrones found in kava.[7]"
so again, drinking a strong cup of kava waka and taking cubes might be somewhat similar. lol
or you could maybe get pure bis-noryangonin and hispidine, theres probably a vendor whos got it.
ive heard of Gymnopilin-K, not sure what the k is supposed to stand for.
thats most likely speculation anyway, if those alks were already identified than it would be easy to assume any other mystery alks would have also been identified.
is there anywhere that will analyze this fruit? conclusively determine its contents?

Thanks for clearing that up for me. Now Im interested in researching Kava and getting some ordered. I plan to trip this weekend alone, meditation, and boy would I like some Kava to take with it to see if it will feel like Gyms.

I did 37g dry in 2 big ass cups of tea. I had about 8 hours of non-stop mellow good times. They were BLG, not lutes. I don't know if there is much of a difference in potency between G. junonius and G. Luteus, but I do love them both equally.
G Man, try to create a culture or you could always donate the print. 
Note the G. Luteus in my avatar. I also have a few in my gallery.

Kava is hit and miss. It needs to be a good variety, grown in good conditions, sourced fresh, and prepared correctly. When it's good, it's awesome. The best method for preparation is to fill the foot portion of a nylon stocking and massage it by hand in about 2L water for 15-30 minutes until oil becomes obvious on the surface. It's labor intensive but worth it if your kava is good. It should taste like dirt and numb your mouth and throat. Using coconut water seems to produce stronger effects and tastes much better. Bad kava does cause serious nausea at active doses but I don't really know a good way to tell if a particular batch is good without trying it.

G Luteus is much more potent than G spectibalis/G junonius (BLG)
Because G Luteus isnt 'Big laughing gyms' theyre small-medium rather than extremely large and vast.
Heres a few pics of my find last year. It only took 20 fresh grams for me and my cuz to have a level 4 trip once, sometimes 3-5g for a strong level 3. Potency varies with Gyms. They can be weak-potent.
Heres some pics of my find last year (Gym Luteus, this batch here was moderately potent):

this. you'll get a strong numbing reaction in your mouth and throat from a good/strong kava extraction and it should taste like dirt spiked with horseradish.
a hefty dose of a strong kava extraction is very, very pleasant. esp for a walk on the beach in the evening with a spliff and a friend.
the only way i've been assured of getting active, fresh, high quality kava is to buy it from konakava farm online.

stevo said: What Ive found gave me a pleasant energy and helpful to reduce anxiety is damiana Its sometimes marketed as an aphrodesiac and I think its just bullshit to sell a product. After all boner pills are profitable. Anyway, my favorite herb which I personally like in combination with psilocybin is cannabis. But some will say it clouds the experience too much, or for whatever reason not for everyone and because its banned it is a bit pricey for some. I think damiana shares similarity in that it reduces stress and anxiety but without any hint of memory fading, munchies, paranoia etc. I highly recommend
I used to smoke cannibis with psilocybin all the time, but now, I find it naseuting, although, I find cannibis itself nauseating, I DONT KNOW WHY!
It makes my organs feel all tensed up, cant even eat until im not high anymore. Back in the day, IT WAS NOT LIKE THIS.

try consuming much less and see if your experience is the same. perhaps it's stronger than what you got BITD.

Yea its not bad when I consume small amounts. Small amounts is okay, but...this is like 1 or 2 puffs. I used to be able to consume .3 in a spliff and get high, but no negative effects. And id have 3-4 spliffs everyday. Now its like .1
It probably is stronger. But fuck, I enjoyed being able to smoke a good amount, I enjoy the experience of smoking a good bowl or spliff, but now I share a bowl with a friend and I feel like im on an acid trip, lol. With cottonmouth and tense organs, so its not that fun.

just out of curiosity, do you think this is because something in the coconut oil forms adducts with the kavalactones similarly to mixing cinnamaldehyde or peppermint oil with lysergic acid? or does it just help release the goods like making weed tea?

I doubt there are any chemical changes, and coconut water really doesn't contain much fat at all. Maybe I just drink more because it tastes better.

There are several labs that do that kind of testing - but it usually costs at least $500 because the machine to do the testing costs $250,000.
