Ps. Weilli = Ps. caerulipes

This is far from fact and/or truth. P. weilii is closely related to Psilocybe caerulescens, both macroscopically and microscopically and belongs to the stirps Caerulescensae. While P. caerulipes belongs to an entirely different family inthe genera Psilocybe.

Unfortunately I cannot show fact because my books are in Seattle and I am in southeast Asia.

ANd the Guzman book is temporarily off line as he is rewriting the Genus Psilocybe so it will be some time before the book appears ont he internet. The new one will be closer to $150.00 pr copy.

But photos of P. caerulipes are posted at my site in black and white as well as in color. The color images are from Cincinnati, Ohio, while the Weilii ange is Georgia to possiblibly Alabama, Louisiana. AS is the P. caerulescens which now has been id'ed form Mississippi as wel as Alabama where it was originally discovered.

Here is an image o f Psilocybe caerulipes after ome color change in drying



A page of LK's Weilii shrooms from shroomery ultimae guide

and a few images. I might mention that the P. carulipes are thinner straighter stalks and have no umbos or protruding nipples like the p. weilii's do.

and here are some P. weilii
from LK at my site








and an image of P. caerulipes, whse caps become wavy and upturned similar to P. cyanescens.





While many of the p. weilii stems are brownish, the caerulipes are always white to bluish when damaged by han handling.mj




About four years ago I did a beauthiful pictorial on Weilii, caerulescens at spiritplants which is now not on their site.

The thing is though, mj, that you can find weilii that look exactly like both of those pictures of caerulipes.
