Psilocybe moseri from Pastaza, Ecuador * 8
    #26516956 - 03/04/20 05:45 PM (3 years, 10 months ago)

Psilocybe moseri is a species that I have spent six years looking for, and last week I finally saw it in Pastaza, Ecuador.  It is in Psilocybe section Zapotecroum, and most closely resembles Psilocybe muliercula, differing by preferring a tropical habitat and is slightly smaller in size.  Like P. muliercula, it likes disturbed, muddy soils.  It was described from Chiapas, Mexico in 1995, but is more common in central and south America.

Wonderful! When you want them cultivated, let me know :uptosomething:

You didn't talk to Cactu while you were down that way did you? Or was he in Guatamala? Been a long time since we talked. Miss him dearly.

Cactu is in Nicaragua.  He's active on Facebook.

Nice! That must have felt amazing. I've been pursuing a few species for decades now...

Those look cool and right by a waterfall?  Thats awesome.  What would the potency be on these be like?  About the same as Ps. Zapotecroum?

Like most extremely rare species, no one has ever eaten them that I know of.

They aren't viscid, they were wet with spray from the waterfall.

Alan, just curious, is that your phone you're using to provide subtle "flash" light for the shots?

Looking at your pics, I'm thinking I should have gone into mycology, or at least biology.  I did a lot of work on volcanoes, but was always distracted by the ecosystems that were affected by the eruptions.  Anyway... great shots!

I used a handheld flash to illuminate these, I left the shutter open for about five seconds and flashed the flash about 20 times from different angles.  The phone I was using to take pictures of them.  You can see my phone pictures here:  https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/38690791

I would have to try them if I found some rare ones.

Fuck that’s pretty cool Alan.  We need some spores.  Think these could grow wild in Oregon?
