Fresh new beginner looking to learn more!
    #26714872 - 06/02/20 06:55 PM (3 years, 7 months ago)

So I recently have begun to re-join the world of mushrooms after a couple year hiatus and would like to start learning how to find them myself. I had a powerful experience and would enjoy being able to have these more. I reside near North Georgia and have taken a few trips out into the wild to attempt seeing if I can find any "fun ones" with no luck. I have done a fair bit of reading but there is nothing like experience of someone who has been there and done that. I'm looking to join up with a group or even one individual who can take me out into the fields and about and help me expand my knowledge on the subject. Even if you can help me find a single one, that would make my year. I live specifically around the Paulding county area but can make travels at least 1-2 hours in any direction around there (I was just up at Lake Lanier a few days ago where I had my enlightening experience at the beach). Again, I am a complete noob when it comes to this as far as finding/research with only the most basic info floating in my head. If you would be interested in teaching me (and possibly my girlfriend as well) please PM me! And even if you don't feel comfortable doing something like that for a stranger, any points to good field guides for my area or any tidbits of information that could help me would be lovely :smile: I know this is a new account but I have been using the shroomery for years (before my hiatus) and finally decided to make an account.

Well you live in a pretty great state for psychoactive mushrooms, especially the southern half of GA.
Here is a list of species that have been found in GA:

Gymnopilus aeruginosus
Gymnopilus spectabilis
Gymnopilus luteofolius
Panaeolus cinctulus
Panaeolus cyanescens
Panaeolus fimicola
Panaeolus olivaceus
Panaeolus sp. (Panaeolopsis)
Pluteus americanus
Psilocybe caerulescens (formerly known as P. weilii)
Psilocybe caerulipes
Psilocybe cubensis
Psilocybe mexicana (rare)
Psilocybe ovoideocystidiata
Psilocybe tampanensis (formerly known as P. atlantis)

Learn these species, go hiking, bring back photos, post them here, get confirmation.
This is how I learned everything I know.

Probably should've posted this in the Mushroom Hunting and Identification forum though. :lol:

You're better at Gif'ing than me, and it hurts to admit that because I really thought I was good.

I can teach you some other things, Niffla.

:wellhello:


Mushroom-forming fungi (Agaricomycetes) have the greatest morphological diversity and complexity of any group of fungi. They have radiated into most niches and fulfil diverse roles in the ecosystem, including wood decomposers, pathogens or mycorrhizal mutualists. Despite the importance of mushroom-forming fungi, large-scale patterns of their evolutionary history are poorly known, in part due to the lack of a comprehensive and dated molecular phylogeny. Here, using multigene and genome-based data, we assemble a 5,284-species phylogenetic tree and infer ages and broad patterns of speciation/extinction and morphological innovation in mushroom-forming fungi. Agaricomycetes started a rapid class-wide radiation in the Jurassic, coinciding with the spread of (sub)tropical coniferous forests and a warming climate. A possible mass extinction, several clade-specific adaptive radiations and morphological diversification of fruiting bodies followed during the Cretaceous and the Paleogene, convergently giving rise to the classic toadstool morphology, with a cap, stalk and gills (pileate-stipitate morphology). This morphology is associated with increased rates of lineage diversification, suggesting it represents a key innovation in the evolution of mushroom-forming fungi. The increase in mushroom diversity started during the Mesozoic-Cenozoic radiation event, an era of humid climate when terrestrial communities dominated by gymnosperms and reptiles were also expanding.

I wonder how many undiscovered mushroom species are out there...

At minimum, millions. Most Fungi do not even produce a fruiting body, so good luck finding and identifying them, especially if they live in soil mixed up with other microbes and fungi, in a complex tangled web of genetic mayhem. You'd have to collect, isolate, expand, then genetically test everything.

Okay so me and my girlfriend went out on a hunt today and these were what I found, not going to eat any of course but just want someone trusted to show me what I got. Many white gilled ones and a few semi brown gilled. I think the one's with nipples may possibly be tiny cubes? Spot check me please :laugh:

Oh and I found most of these along a trail in a park near me. Mostly along dead trees and leaves and some on a bundle of logs. The clam looking ones were all from fallen trees.

4-5 Amanita(the 2 grey Amanita are in the section Vaginatae), a few Inocybe, an unknown Polypore, 2 large Entoloma(pink gills), Trametes versicolor(turkey tail).
I see at least one Russula, there could be a Cortinarius in there too, would need better photos.

The ones with nipples are very likely Inocybe, and probably toxic.

Out of all those the most useful one is Trametes versicolor.
