galerina vs. cyan
    #5007722 - 12/02/05 05:49 PM (18 years, 2 months ago)

Reading that guy's post about possible galerina poisoning has left me wondering about the definite differences between the two.

Seems like it'd be a good idea to a/b them.

I tried to search the forum posts but I can't figure out how.

Thanks, all.

Im no expert but usually galerina grows directly off decaying wood whereas cyans grow on alder chips or beneath douglas firs.

Galerinas have NO blueing, correct?

If so, I'm wondering how they could ever get confused with a cyan?

Also, in every picture of galerinas I have seen, the caps are perfectly round whereas the cyan caps are wavy.

There should be a sticky in regards to this (imho).

Galerinas won't exhibit "true" blue bruising.. they do become darker, blackish, in some species which might confuse some.
Either way, they can be separated by spore print color, which should be done.

if you really don't know a cyan like your own penis then you should at the very LEAST take a print.
galerinas, like all cortinariacae-family mushrooms
(conocybes galerinas, gymnopilus, cortinarius, and others)
have a rusty reddish sporeprint.
some of these are psychoactive, but of those, most VERY weakly so. and arent worth it.
while others, generally speaking, are deadly poisonous.
basically, avoid reddish, green, and white sporeprints altogether. unless you do what nobody ever does, and find some conocybe smithii or cyanopus.
which, if youre looking for P cyan, is unlikely.
