Interesting, thanks for sharing this info. The nippled hoogshageni supposedly grows down here in northern Argentina, in a province that I'm most likely going to visit next year. Other rare Psilocybe species mentioned found by Singer/Guzman in Tafi del Valle, Tucuman province (Argentina), were P. Zapotecorum, and P. collybioides, the latter of which I have found NO pictures except for this.
Would you happen to know the best time of the year to visit to find P. hoogshageni or these other species? If I get to these species and grow them I'll be sure to spread them prints like wildfire.

I'll try my best and gather info on the best seasonal conditions for this mushroom and sync my trip to Tucuman accordingly. I was there with my family last year so I couldn't go mushroom hunting at all. Got a better car now so it'd be a great excuse to hit the road, once the fucking COVID-19 situation here settles a bit.
As for the other mystery Psilocybe species (P. Collybioides), I ONLY found it described in English on this 1958 Mycology journal, pages 284-288. There's drawings of its spores as well but I've got no clue about microscopy. I think we need Dr. Alan Rockefeller to come down here. I don't know if there's info on it's edibility/psychoactivity. K, I'm done derailing the thread with this other species.

Wasnt p.mexicana equally potent as cubes? How does one get one of these prints?
I'm from Argentina i didnt know they grew in the north.
From what I've read, P. Mexicana/Galindoi/Tampanensis fruiting bodies are about 1.5 to 2 times the potency of average cubes. Haven't tried them myself yet tho.
And yes, there have been a few sightings of the OG Ps. Hoogshagenii (not Semperviva/Subtropicales) in Tafi del Valle, Tucuman, but they are from around 1958 lmao. Maybe the locals there know something about this. It's very difficult to not notice the funny nipple on the mushroom cap; I bet some people there at least are aware of this species' existence (but perhaps not of its psychoactive properties). I don't know anyone who lives there, but perhaps we could ask in some reddit/facebook community from Tucuman?

Hi everyone,
I recently got some Subtropicalis spores to germinate on agar... I think. The mycellium looks really weak and disorganized, and it grows very slowly. I thought it was some kind of mold at first but it grew exactly at the spots where I smeared the spores on the plate (after about 10 days).
Does anyone have a pic of a germination plate for this species so that I can compare? I skimmed the thread but did not find any. Also does this species tend to be slow on agar as well? Should I try a high-nute or low-nute agar recipe?
Thanks

Should potting soil be pasteurized for this species and, well,for others too? Or just hydrated?

Great report odissey, thanks for hyping up this species.
I'm only at T2 on agar right now and will keep the germ and T1 plates to see if any plate pins pop up.

So it's another exotic that can do well on low-tech setups with just coir, like Natalensis. That's honestly great news. I wonder how many other species might be just as easily cultivable as cubes that we're 'missing'

Do these benefit from a JCM-style FC at all?

just str8 sand? Curious to see how that works.
For the record, I tried casing with beach sand mixed with peat moss and verm a couple times but it always looked really detrimental. I now know beach sand is not ideal since its constituents are way different from playground sand and other types of commercial sand.

I cased a few trays of these yesterday. They are in a JCM-like chamber that's OFF right now. Should I just add water and turn it ON or give the trays a few more days before putting in fruiting conditions?
looking forward to those pins even though they could take a while

Don't forget trapping the contaminated area under a glass jar

I'm getting owned by arthropods this year  
First a mite infestation forced me to throw away almost all my agar cultures
And yesterday I saw a bunch of adult gnats spawning from my 4-month old semp shoebox.
oh well... at least I still have a seemingly clean semp agar culture that has knotted.
sorry I just had to vent a little
