So just to be clear.

There is a difference between mexicana and tampanensis but tampanensis and galindoi/atlantis are definitely the same?

Psilocybe galindoi was described from Jalisco, near Colima.  I've been to the type location and there is P. mexicana everywhere.  Also microscopically it matches P. mexicana.  So P. galindoi is surely P. mexicana.

However what we have been cultivating under the name P. galindoi was collected in Georgia and is P. tampanensis.

I have sequenced quite a few truffles from many sources and my conclusion is that there are two species - the ones that make large truffles are P. tampanensis and the ones that make small truffles are P. mexicana.

This means a bit of relabeling. Thank you Allen.

Very well done, thanks for the update!
Will you be publishing your findings?

So I don't know a whole lot about DNA test. Are these close enough together to hybridize or are these 2 stone producers to far appart to hybridize?

So there is no difference between "Galindoi" and tampanensis? Excellent work and certainly some interesting food for thought.  Thank you for your efforts and contributions, Alan.
