You were right, the mushroom is in the book "All that rain promises and more" the mushroom is called the Western Jack O' Lantern Mushroom (Omphalotus Olivascens) It is poisionous it grows in groups on or near hardwood stumps and trees or near the base of chinquapin, oak, madrone, and other hardwoods. Abundant in southern California and central California, extending to Oregon but less frequent there.

So if you live in Cali go find it!

I've seen this fungus a few times. Let me check to see if I made any collections. You should also be aware that this fungus contains psychoactive subsatances and therefore is illegal to grow. Spores are ok to have since the secondary metabolites aren't developed.

I am familiar with agar and sterile techniques. I have grown some mushroom species in the past. Anyway would you know of a spore source and/or growth parameters for this species? Thank you for your time.

My name and address etc was here.

apparently it a good type of poisen perhaps? wink wink
