Noob - ID please newbie NorthWest Melb, Australia
    #26651912 - 05/05/20 11:52 PM (3 years, 8 months ago)

Hey everyone, firstly thank you to anyone reading this and anyone giving me time. This is my second attempt at picking, and I'm keen to learn! I'm definitely not going to be ingesting anything if I'm not 1000% sure of their ID first.

Habitat: Wet shadey tambark area near paddocks - Not sure of specific trees. Some euc, Some fallen trees and branches, bark, leaves. Mushroom growing from the ground.
So many tiny little spores but I only grabbed what looked a bit meatier.

Gills: see photos. Bruising looks blue?

Stem: see photos

Cap: see photos.

Spore print color: TBA

Bruising: bruised blue

Location: North West Melbourne, Before the Airport

The first link, both photos are psilocybes IMO. The second link, the 5 mushies on the left of the photo are psilocybe IMO as well. The rest I cannot tell from the photo. Wait for a T.I to be sure.

Psilocybe subaeruginosa. You've got some inactive ones to the right. Take photos of them if you want them id'ed.

Thanks guys. I figured the ones on the right were janky so I'll disregard them.

As for the potential Psilocybe subaeruginosa, do you know what I should be looking for with my spore print? Also do you know how to do it, I know I use aluminium foil but I don't understand if an oven is involved or not.

Thank you

Purple/brown spore print. No oven. Cut the stem where it attaches to the cap to seperate cap and stem. Place cap gills down on alfoil. Additionally you can cover (place over the cap) with a glass bowl, cup or tub or something like that.

Cut the cap off the stem and place the cap gills down. Leave it overnight. Done.
Tinfoil is best. Paper is fine if you're just going to look at it. The spore print from psilocybe species are different shades of purplish brown.

T.I. = Trusted Identifier

It's a special badge given to folks who have proved their knowledge at mushroom identification and pretty much the gold standard for getting an ID on shroomery (is my understanding of the concept).

SPORE PRINT (finally)

Hi all, sorry for the delay.
I didn't have much luck with my first SPORE PRINTs. I used foil the first time and didn't get any mark, but I may have not waited long enough...

Anyway, I went back recently (after all this rain) and found more mushrooms that were
- from the same area
- had the same cap colour
- same stem colour
- same bruise colour

and I completed some spore prints. The print looks like a dark purple kinda thing. Like a purple-brown.

The two top ones look aight, where is the rest of the mushrooms? Photos would help a lot. the smaller bottom ones look more brown than violet-brown to me.

Wait for TI and post photos and info of everything you want ID'd.
Possibly even create a new thread.

If you could get natural light and a better photo, it would be very helpful :smile:

I was fairly confident that these were the same psilocybe subaeruginosa i'd picked before, but sorry yes I should have given more photos.

Unfortunately, the specific ones I used for the spore print quite dirty and old looking now (since doing the spore print) and were quite bruised beforehand. Here's a couple, sorry again - terrible photos for a sample.




Also I just want to say a huge thanks to you and anyone taking the time to help people(/noobs like me) with ID requests, etc. I've learnt so much on this forum.

Bump.

Completed some MORE spore prints now. Third time picking from the SAME location as outlined above. I feel I'm getting much better now at identifying them.

The cap belonging to the spore sits above the spore.

It appears the purpley spores are good, and the rusty-brown ones are not. Yes?

The Ones That Are Bruising Bluish On The Caps & Stems & Have A Dark Purplish Brown Spore Print Are Psilocybe Subaeruginosa.

The Ones That Are Not Bruising Bluish & Have Light Rusty/Brown Spore Prints Are Poisonous Galerina Sp, Toss Them :thumbup:

I've Circled The Poisonous Galerina, Sorry The Pics Are So Close, I'm Uploading From Mobile & Shroomery Is Strange When It Comes To Uploading Pics.

They Could Be Something Else, But They Are Definitely Not Subs & The Spore Prints Are The Same Color As Most Galerina Sp.

Definitely Not Subs & I Recommend They Be Tossed.

This is my take too, but I feel much better having others state this too.
I will definitely be discarding the galerina. I'm still very new to this, but even this morning I'm getting really good at just spotting the galerina compared to the subs...

so I guess now - for the subs - I'm probably ready to actually consume one...or two...or what do you guys recommend for the first time consuming something you're 99.9% sure is a Sub, but still want to be careful?

(I have had lots of experience tripping on shrooms, but its never been something I've picked myself)

I Suggest Starting With 1 Or 2 Mushrooms, Subs Are Highly Potent.
