How long is this study running for? I can send in some caerulipes and gym samples, but not until next summer for the caerulipes. :-( I didn't save any of the pounds of them I found. :-(

I could probably send him:
*Psilocybe medullosa *Pluteus salicinus *Conocybe smithii *Panaeolus cinctulus
I have sent him these species now, along with some Psilocybe semilanceata and the other (?) Psilocybe I found a few years ago:

It will be very interesting to see the results

Great! You must have a lot of interesting mushrooms that you have collected through the years.

I would like to contribute Alan, but I live in Canada and they seem to be pretty anal about Psilocybe mushrooms here. I'm a little dubious about sending them myself through the mail. I have a few connections with some of the local university biology departments. I'm not sure if they would go for it at this point, but do you think it might be more kosher to send the specimens to Jan through a legitimate accredited academic institution?

Just now seeing this thread. I've already picked too much. Now I have a use for them, thank you.

Ohman, I wish people would be so kind to help me on my potency analysis work too. I wrote to Jan and he forwarded my request for co-operation to the person who will be doing the analysis part. And I hope that in combination we can achieve even better and accurate and diverse results.  http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=22452548&page=0&vc=1#22452548 <- My plea for help.

Would this study be interested in some tampanensis fruits? I've been wondering their potency is and have an abundance

Just out of curiosity I want to confirm that this study will include DNA sequencing? It would be really awesome if you analyzed some DNA sequenced Panaeolina Foenisecii and test it for traces of psilocybin and psilocin... Though that study that indicated trace amounts of hallucinogenic compounds was thought to be in error to my knowledge it has never been discredited with scientific accuracy, only presumption. It would be nice to end the debate. Though, I realize there are plenty who believe that there is no debate... I still find people who insist that Gymnopilus Junonius is not active...ever thanks to what is probably Gymnopilus Ventricosis, which indicates to me that some people still are not satisfied with the status quo assumptions of these species. It seems that way, anyway. I wonder how many non-active Gym. Juns. are actually a non-active look alike... Additionally, is this project being completed by the IMA or some other means? I'm sorry if that's been covered. I may have missed something. Thanks.

Good question, I don't know! Ask Jan.

That is a good idea, you should send some in.

Probably all of them.

I am not sure what the IMA is. I don't know a whole lot about it. Jan asked me to get some samples. It's not his project really, it is another researcher in the area that is doing the work. I trust him that it is a legit project though.

Cool stuff. Thanks Mr. Rockefeller. The IMA is the Illinois Mycological Association. There's a video on youtube that they posted with you (I think, or someone of the same name?) speaking about fungi of Mexico. I just guessed they might have something to do with, or more accurately hoped cuz I'm an Illinois person. I actually have no idea who Jan is... I'm a noob. lol. I'll read this post and I think the details of that were posted. Thanks :-)

The study is conducted in Prague, Czech Republic... so no, IMA is probably not involved at all.

Lol. Thanks again Alan Rockefeller. I must have missed the part about the Czech Republic... Wishing I hadn't tossed the pounds of Pan Foes I found... I need to learn how to use the quote tool also. Sorry about that.

I just spoke with Jan and he said they would be running samples until December.
If you have any collections that you would like to get tested, the time to send them is now.
It would be interesting to see more Pluteus, Gymnopilus, Pholiotina and uncommon Psilocybe species.
The address to send them to is:
Jan Borovicka, Institute of Geology CAS Rozvojova 269 CZ-165 00 Prague 6 Czech Republic
Make sure they are well labeled so the photos and other collection data that go with the samples can be recorded.
