Very nice and thank you for sharing!

To me, it looks like Serbica. By the way, it's very similar to a mushroom I found not far from Brno. Take a look at the photos.


Also, I'm thinking that once I find some spore-dropping mushrooms, besides collecting spores to share with the community, I want to put the caps in bottles of water. Then, by making a hole in the lid, I can spray the spores in damp areas closer to home, it's just such a long drive to get to them
I have a few spots in mind, but there are no oaks or beeches there. I'm wondering if the spores would actually take hold.

It’s far too dry here, and it was extremely dry by the creek too: there was hardly any moisture at all. I’m surprised I managed to find even those 50 grams of fresh mushrooms.
Found them today at the completely different place than I found before, about 150 km away from there in central Bohemia. ID thread with more pictures is here: https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/29718054#29718054

What surprised me about the place was how quiet and peaceful it was once you got farther away from the motorway. I found a few of those mushrooms there, which should be more than enough for a trip, and I also made spore swabs to share. I won’t be able to make spore prints from them because the caps are empty and have no spores. I think both bohemica and arcana grow there.

Another thing that surprised me: I wandered around there for about five hours, and not a single person passed by the whole time! I wonder what these mushrooms will be like in a trip.

I also brought back a few little branches and sticks from the spot, the ones the mushrooms were growing on. I’m going to try introducing them to a city park where serbica has never grown. I hope they take hold. I know some very similar, damp places by a creek. I’ve read that they spread best on sticks containing mycelium. For now, I’ve put both the mushrooms and the sticks in the fridge. I think serbica should grow everywhere as it possible, and I try my best to share the genetics. I gonna bring and introduce more genetics from the whole republic at one place in the city

I made some swabs from the biggest and the most brusing fruits. If you promise to grow them, I will send the swabs, just send me a PM with your adress.

I was in the woods today to forage serbica in their natural habitat at some places in Czechia with special microclimate.

Good for you man! Here the season ended before it even began. God I hate dry autumns and early frosts.. Haven't seen a single wild Psilocybe this year, what a bummer!
