Shrooms of the Western Cape of South Africa - Info Pool * 1
    #22101333 - 08/17/15 02:11 AM (8 years, 5 months ago)

Hello from a not so sunny South Africa.

Just joined the forum after years of using this extremely friendly and always helpful resource.
I've always been impressed and inspired by how knowledgeable and professional the core of the sites members are. Thank you for this.

Not until recently have I pieced together the puzzle that is shroom hunting in S.A. A puzzle mostly due to the fact that there is little to no, to complete b.s. info on what mushrooms grow here.
The fact that people seem to think most of the psychoactive fungi decided that S.A. was unsuitable even though we have some of the world's most diverse flora and
fauna strikes me as a massive oversight.
It seems as though no-one knows anything, and no-one seems to want to do the leg-work to remedy this bleak situation.

Being a bit of an entheogen enthusiast (read fanatic) I've being trying to find any actives for years and always end up empty handed due to there being little to no
blueing or incorrect spore prints. Also having years of experience in searching for, cultivating and extracting from various entheos I know better than to eat
something that you are even a wee bit unsure of (no trip is worth the trip to the hereafter imo)

Anyway I figured I'd start a thread where I'd post pics and info of the mushrooms I find on my often daily forays into nature - as well as some pics of the nature
itself, coz hell it's awesome here.

I only ever intend to post to this thread, and encourage any other South Africans to do the same, thus creating a single source of info for our corner of the planet.

Note: attempts to ID are appreciated but are not my priority here. The gathering of info and eventual identification of the mushrooms one can encounter is the objective.

Also I am more than willing to ship any prints to anyone with the skills and equipment to further the cause. Costs may have to be covered by you as I only
freelance as an active member of society.

So without further rambling here are some pics of mushrooms I encountered and collected from the cow poo splattered fields of the Helderberg region of the Western Cape.

Info on location:
Google map link- https://goo.gl/maps/c81fU
Season - Winter nearing Spring (Mid August)
Temps - Min 7-10C Max 15-20C
Rainfall - Water, water everywhere

These are some mushroom covered cow pats I brought home.
I'm pretty sure these are mostly Psilocybe Coprophilia and a Panaeolus of some sort - possibly Olivaceous, maybe cinct, but there is a tiny bit of blue on the mycelium ruling out inactives imo.










Specimen shots - Caps, Gills, Stems, and some spore prints that are done so far - Pretty sure there are some Cincts, Olivaceous and some inactive pans here, as well as Coprophilia, but hell what do I know.
I am aware that cutting the stems is better, but I figured I'd keep the mycelial growth attached as to identify any bluing as the info on what these mushrooms look like around here is sparse to say the least. I will be cutting them in the future and have done so in the past.

































Well that's it for today.
Hope you like the thread and I look forward to any constructive criticism, or any tips to help streamline the whole thing.
Also if I've made any faux pas please let me know and apologies in advance if so.
