Thanks for this! Gonna head out early Saturday morning and see what I can find. Been a wet week over here so Iโm hopeful!

Have thrown out heaps of what looked like psilocybe sp because they had a very strong anise smell... any other similar-ish species that share this odour?

Several sources I've checked have this wrong then. Very good to know, thank you!

Wow this is the best thing I've read on shroomery it was exactly what I was looking for and it's so true I have become absolutely obsessed with finding Jim I don't know why all I know is that the only thing that will bring me happiness is finding Jim's haha ironically I introduced two of my friends to mushroom hunting and one of them is a little bit of an airhead but she consistently finds mushrooms all over the place and yesterday when we were all walking she found a whole bunch of gyms not sure what species but they were mostly yellow maybe a little orange had a rusty orange Veil that was covered in spores and turned hella blue at the stem when I messed with it so I was a little surprised and for the last couple days I've been just obsessed with trying to figure out a better way to find them because I much like you have searched every Forest around me for weeks and can't seem to come across them but as you said they don't necessarily grow super deep in the woods I feel like they enjoy their sunlight and Deep Woods maybe doesn't provide enough of that I should also mention that I live in Florida so it's always hot here and it's always wet but it's a little wetter than usual that being said when I was walking home tonight I came across what looked like a hamburger bun in the grass which turned out to be a mushroom so I picked it and I kept walking home and when I got home I pulled it out and I noticed that there was significant green bruising on the cap and I thought huh that reminds me of luteofolicus which I have only ever found one of and it was significantly smaller than this one I pretty much just assumed it was trash and so I broke it and within seconds it turned the deepest blue I've ever seen. You can check my previous post if you're interested in that I didn't mean to digress so far all I wanted to say was thank you for posting a guide about Jim's and I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that's absolutely obsessed with finding them finding all the other species such as pans, is pretty easy. Gymnopolis are harder to find and so it makes the hunt more exciting. I found a couple different strains but never more than one or two at a time so I have yet to actually enjoy a gymnopolis trip but rest assured it's coming haha thanks for the info though really great

Need more anecdotal reports to know for sure. Some have reported mild kava-like effects in addition to the psilocybin psychedelic effects (including myself). More people gotta try em!

Awesomeman, glad you enjoyed it! Florida is great for the really neat lepidotus clade and luteofolius clade Gymns, which I find to be particularly interesting. Keep up the good hunt my friend!

Yeah I have found one of each of those species haha but really just one and sadly enough I didn't hold on to them because I didn't know what they were until I posted them on here haha I'll definitely be sure to catalog record as much as I can about them when I find them again I go out at least twice a day to different places haha won't be long it's just a little soggy here right now. Sun hasn't been out in days but man that first day or two when it does come out Boy they're going to be everywhere

Now weโre talking!

Three clusters all pretty close together. Must have missed the other two on previous hikes. You can see a few of the aborted mushrooms in a couple of the photos. One of them had some blue/green coloring but I couldnโt capture with a photo so I omitted. What a wonderful smell!
Last year I only found one mushroom similar to the large one photographed. Have you noticed a colony expanding like this before or more likely new colonies from the spores dropped last year?

Awesome!! Yes I have noticed colonies becoming locally dominant, at my old college G. subspectabilis was a very aggressive species that took over the entire campus in October. There was also a very small tract of forest between the student center and the main highway, which had maybe 1 out of every 5 trees hosting G. subspectabilis clusters. There were too many to count!

Going to inoculate everything You ever messed with starting outdoor spots? I buried the bottom of the cluster from these most recent. Burying grains and spent sub didnโt do much this year but may take a year to establish.
Also, how would I go about requesting G. subspectabilis being added under Texas in the hunting info section? Iโll toss these photos up on mushroomobserver anyhow.
Thanks again!

Hey all, thanks for tuning in to this week's updates on all things Gymnopilus. Alan has informed me that G. thiersii is actually a synonym for G. luteofolius. It seems like the species is quite variable andd versatile!

Nice work, Moria841!
I just wanted to briefly add something here. Some identifiers and hunters may really benefit by co-exploring the following links:
1. https://www.shroomery.org/forums/postlist.php/Board/165 2. https://mushroomobserver.org/species_list/show_species_list/2079 3. https://mushroomobserver.org/species_list/show_species_list/2081 4. https://mushroomobserver.org/species_list/show_species_list/1356 5. https://mushroomobserver.org/species_list/show_species_list/1419
The trick with Gymnopilus identification is to work together, and go deep with the DNA, microscopy, and eventually emending the descriptions seen here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/jjy11na4eagin7n/NorthAmericanSpeciesofGymnopilus_L.R.HESLER.pdf?dl=0
I'd like to cordially encourage all of you to try to contribute a piece of the Gymnopilus puzzle in 2023 with excellence in photography. This approach must be inclusive of *taxonomic characters* being captured in photos using intense effort. Cheers to you all!
