Thye first poppy is from northern Thailand.
The red poppies pictured in the 2nd image are from the university district and are grown in the same location every year.
I missed my bus stop one day not far from the U. and got off on the next block from my house. I just came back form the airport form Thailand. This was the third year I saw the poppies in the end of September- first week of October,


aren't they just awesomely beautiful loverly flowers?

Nope, not on public property but they were right by the sidewalk of my 50 year old neighbors. I'd been watching them for a while, actually a lot of my neighbors have them. But anyways, quite a few of the pods had already opened, so I didn't feel to bad about grabbing a couple, I figure I'll put them to better use.

Yes, that is Papaver Somniferum, opium poppies. They are just getting into full swing up here, I see them flowering all over.
Well here are a couple other pics. These are being sent off in the next couple days for analysis, I guess we'll find out soon enough what's going on.


And this last one is rather untypical of its normal form but a nice shot none the less.

Peace - @cro

nice pics... so will this analysis help you and mj decide if they are out of season (spring) cyanofibrillosa's, or a new species?

Cool dealio!
I?d like to remind folks of a similar find from last year in Oregon at this same time. I see some similarities in the fruiting season, habitat, as well as the fruit body. I?d like to see pics of the spores with dimensions.
I know have a culture of the specimens I picked on agar. I plan on creating an outdoor bed soon. Unfortunately the bed I picked from was covered over with coniferous mulch.

What is interesting about this species is that the smaller ones do resemble P. cyanofibrilosa, however the taller ones are slightly different in that no P. cyanofibrilosa grows to the heights of those tall specimens that @cro found.
I also photographed some of them yesterday with @cro, but now am beginning to wonder about them a little. A friend is sketching line drawings right now and specimens will be sent to Guzman in Mexico for examination.
I do tend to think they are different than the browncapped species I found in kent two years ago, but they are the same as a collction I found in the early 1980s and of ones collected by me and Gartz in 1991 in Eugene, Oregon. That picture is on the inside cover of MMOTPNW.

No he shouldn't.
Some ones plants belong to someone else and you surely would not want someone cuti ting down any plants you may be growing.
Stealing is stealing and a thief is a thief.
If they were wild that is one thing. Trespassing in your neighbor's yard is another.

Well, after all this rain I thought I'd stop by this old patch to see if anything was happening. I wasn't expecting anything as the woodchips seem to be non-existant and it is over a month earlier than last year but....



....they seem to be back. There were only a couple of them, the other was half eaten and past its prime, so you only get these pics. Still haven't figured out what they are but I do know they did not fruit this fall, I checked on them every now and then thinking they were cyanofibs. So, I guess it's still up in the air.
And the keepers of the patch.

Peace - @cro

Those don't look like Psilocybes to me. The thick white gills are the first indication.

Yeah, but they are. Purple prints, bluing and all. This specimen was undeveloped, a print wasn't even attempted. However, it was of the same as last year, which were purple, and I don't expect it to be the only flush so more will come.

still no positive i.d. yet eh? intriguing...
-------------------- Under his instruction, I taped drumsticks to his head and turned him into a sort of mummy, or perhaps a caterpiller in a cocoon. He remains this way for about three hours, making bizarre noises, pretending to be a new species that must learn to walk and talk and eat, etc. And he communicates with other life forms by way of the antennae on his head. Eventually we jam a tube from a waterbong into it's mouth and figure he's learned all he needs to know.
