Thank you for that rundown!

I'm not 100% convinced that even breeding studies would definitively identify multiple species as being synonymous. There seems to be evidence that species such as P. azurescens and cyanescens will breed and I believe most species within the same sect will probably breed, even if they don't do it often or readily.

Now I remember why I tend to stick to the hunting and cultivation of mushrooms instead of the taxonomy.

Message me for free microscopy services on Psilocybe, Panaeolus, and Gymnopilus species.

Looking for wild Panaeolus cinctulus and Panaeolus olivaceus prints.

Interesting, thanks for sharing.

These species can breed, and generate fruits that have spores that are themselves viable? That is quite fascinating.


If that is the case, I wonder what the accepted definition of a species is for fungi then. It could be a morphological classification that may (or may not) be different from the classifications that would be determined using molecular data, or through experiment.


edit: upon looking I can't find azurescens ITS in Genbank, so I cannot evaluate ITS similarity with cyanescens, but it would be interesting.
