I think I found P. Cubensis in ZIMBABWE! ID PLS

Hi guys,

I'm an Aussie currently working in Zimbabwe.

On a bush walk this morning I came across what I'm pretty sure is P. Cubensis.. please confirm anyone if you can!

Found at 1500m above sea level in African bush.

I believe this is a very rare find if they're actually P. Cubs as I can't find ANY documentation on magic mushrooms ever being found here.

It is P. cubensis! PLEASE take a spore print on foil and send it to a good cultivator from this site! Zimbabwe strain sounds awesome!

Definitely cubensis, I would love to do spore microscopy and cultivate them if your interested in sending a print. You should also post this find on www.mushroomobserver.org

Africa is severely under represented in mycology, especially actives. Please help change this. Thank you.

Edit: web address correction, tks Anglerfish.

Great find! :thumbup:

Perhaps you can upload it to www.mushroomobserver.org?

And please keep looking for more of these, too. :smile:

Nice find, this is the first reported occurrence of a psilocybin mushroom in Zimbabwe.

I added it to the official list: https://www.shroomery.org/8461/Which-psilocybin-mushrooms-grow-wild-in-my-area

See if you can find more species, there are a lot of undiscovered things in Africa.

This is freaking cool. It could potentially be a very interesting one to try and domesticate if for no other reason than its never been found there before. I sure hope a print makes its way to someone competent (so not me :lol:

I'm not incompetent, but in my opinion Bodisattaa or even hamloaf would be more qualified for the cultivation part but I can definitely do the microscopy. I'm a pretty competent cultivator but those 2 are better than I am at that part.

There are dozens of people that could be up to the challenge. I would just want someone who had enough time on their hands to do it justice. Otherwise I would beg for a part of a print myself.

Just being curious - do you expect anything else than P. cubensis?

But I agree. It should be documented none the less.

And if we could get some in situ shots of an eventual new find, that would be gorgeous. :mushroomtwirl:

They're beauties! Shrooming in the African wilderness must be incredible.

I dont think sequencing would do anything, but I would like to measure the spores, basidia and other taxonomic features.
