adventures in indiana!
    #450610 - 11/07/01 05:53 PM (22 years, 1 month ago)

ok, so just for the hell of it i went out into the woods next to my school to see if i could find anything, even a leaf that slightly resembled a mushroom :).

after 3 hours of searching i was finally pleasantly surprised. on a bunch of different fallen trees i found approximately 45 mushrooms that appear to be of the same variety, with maybe 1 or 2 exceptions. hopefully i'll have a spore print soon, but for now here's a rough description -

cap: ranges from dark brown to pale yellow-brown. most of them are conical some with a nipple-thing goin on at the top (i don't know all the real terms). others are slightly more rounded at the top. i grabbed a few that were more flat, but i think they're older. the caps range from a couple centimeters to about an inch (oops, change in units there). the color fades from light to dark, center to outside.

gills: range from light to dark brown. lines extending radially from the center

stem: no more than about 1.5" long, no more than maybe a centimeter thick. light brown to dark brown (mostly light), hollow, no bluing observed yet (i think) on a lot of them there's a brown stripe on the stem a little below the cap (which makes me think they're maybe galerina, 'cause i think i read somewhere that they have a stripe).

tell me what you think. like i said, i think they're poisonous, but if they're magic, it should be interesting. i plan on maybe going back saturday to see if anything else popped up. i'll try to have pictures up in a bit.

thanks!

Doesn't sound good, especially with the brown stems. Take a spore print for sure, but I'm thinkin' toss 'em.

They are most likely deadly Galerinas...found a tonne this year, we have similar climates...try to find some Gyms if you have the chance...they should be all over Indiana.

And that is all the news that's fit to print

ok, i took a spore print, and, according to Mushroom John's fieldbook, a psilocybe should have spores that are "chocolate to purple brown." whereas galerinas have "rusty orange brown" sporeprints.

my sporeprint looks, like, hmm, crayon brown. that's the best way i can describe it: brown. it's not orange-ish, but it's not purple-ish either. are there any other good tests i can do???

as to the stems, only a few are really brown. the rest are like off-white kinda

still working on the pictures, by the way :)

Might as well not waste time with the pics - they sound like definite tossers. Neither magic nor edible.

ok, that's the conclusion i came to. i'm going to go out this weekend to see if any gymnopolus (sp?) are growing. it just rained today, so things are looking good! :)

thanks for everyone's help...eventually i'll be a bit better, but remember this was my first hunt :)
