got some qustions for you guys if you don't mind-
1)Psilocybe caerulipes is supposed to be native in North Carolina, does anybody hunt, clutivate or have any info on this shroom?
2) Do you have any species to add which are known in these areas??
3) Would it be fair to say all of the following species occur in the Piedmont, foothills and mountains of North Carolina, Piedmont, foothills, and mountains of South Carolina, Southern Virginian Piedmont, Western , and Northern Georgia-
Panaeolina foenisecii= Panaeolus foenisecii
Panaeolus cyanescens = Coplandia cyanescens
Panaeolus papilionaceus = Panaeolus sphinctrinus = Panaeolus campanulatus (Are these correct synonms?)
Panaeolus subbalteatus
Psilocybe caerulescens
Psilocybe caerulipes
Psilocybe coprophila
Psilocybe cubensis
Psilocybe cyanescens
I really need help from my southern hunters, I'm trying to write a guide and I want reliable modern infromation, please help
Heres my guide so far, Suggestions as to what to add would be appreciated!
A Mushroom Hunter’s Guide to Kak’alakcy-
This guide covers- The Piedmont, foothills and mountains of North Carolina, Piedmont, foothills, and mountains of South Carolina, Southern Virginian Piedmont, Western Tennessee, and Northern Georgia
~List of Mushrooms described in this Guide-
Amanita muscaria-
Panaeolina foenisecii= Panaeolus foenisecii
Panaeolus cyanescens = Coplandia cyanescens
Panaeolus papilionaceus = Panaeolus sphinctrinus = Panaeolus campanulatus
Panaeolus subbalteatus
Psilocybe caerulescens
Psilocybe caerulipes
Psilocybe coprophila
Psilocybe cubensis
Psilocybe cyanescens
~Common Names-
Amanita muscaria- “Mario Mushroom” or
Panaeolina foenisecii= Panaeolus foenisecii ~“Foes” or “The Latent Psilocybain”
Panaeolus cyanescens = Coplandia cyanescens ~ “Copes”
Panaeolus papilionaceus = Panaeolus sphinctrinus = Panaeolus campanulatus ~ “Paps”
Panaeolus subbalteatus ~ “Subbs”
Psilocybe caerulescens
Psilocybe caerulipes
Psilocybe coprophila ~ “Dung Lovin’ Psilocybe”
Psilocybe cubensis ~ “‘Shroom of the South” or “Cubes”
Psilocybe cyanescens
~When To Go Out Hunting-
Mushrooms can be found at all times except in the dead of winter.
The best time to usually go mushroom hunting is in the morning or the late evening after some rain.
High humidity and moisture is key. Some mycelium grows rapidly within two-five days after rain But then some can take up to 6 weeks to start. It really depends on genetics.
If it rains to much, the soil will become soggy and won’t produce any ‘shrooms.
~Where To Look-
Amanita muscaria-
Panaeolina foenisecii= Panaeolus foenisecii- Grassy Areas
Panaeolus cyanescens = Coplandia cyanescens- Dung
Panaeolus papilionaceus = Panaeolus sphinctrinus = Panaeolus campanulatus-
Panaeolus subbalteatus- Dung and well fertilized grassy areas.
Psilocybe caerulescens-
Psilocybe caerulipes-
Psilocybe coprophila- Dung
Psilocybe cubensis- Dung
Psilocybe cyanescens- Mulch or deadwood.
~A Few Simple Principals-
Always be 100% sure of a specimens exact identity before ingesting it.
Do not collect any fungi you don't intend to use.
Respect and protect other species, including poisonous ones.
Do not any collect rare species. As well as being endangered, rare species are often hard to identify.
Record accurately the localities and habitat data of any valuable fungi.
Do not collect ''buttons'' (mushrooms that have not expanded) or small mushrooms; They are hard to identify, Allowing them to expand will also let them reproduce and also result in a larger 'shroom.
Collect only enough mushrooms for personal use; Don’t excessively profit from nature’s gifts, and NEVER reveal the location of your secret ‘shroom patch.
"All mushrooms are edible; but some only once." ~Croatian proverb
~Know What You Don’t Want-
If someone is looking for active ‘shrooms they can knock out the majority of the deadly poisonous mushrooms by following a few simple rules.
One, You should be looking for active ‘shrooms with gills (Agaricales). Not mushrooms with pores (Boletes). The active mushrooms you are looking for should have Black (Panaeolus = Copelandia spp.) or chocolate-brown to purple-brown spores and spore prints (Psilocybes).
Forget the minor species of Gymnopilus, Conocybe, Inocybes and those species which have white, orange, cinnamon, or rust colored gills and spore prints. Forget about those species.
Do not pick any orange, cinnamon or rust colored mushrooms. The three deadly species of Galerina and one species of Concoybe (Conocybe filaris) have orange gills.
And avoid any white gilled mushrooms. That would include all of the deadly Amanita mushrooms such as Amanita Phalloides, Amanita verna, etc. Note- You may harvest wild Amanita muscaria if your extremely careful, make sure it has a bright red or orange cap, do not pick amanitas with lighter colored caps.
Boletes, even bluing ones, should never be eaten. They have sponge like pores on the underside of the cap, instead of gills like those of active mushrooms.
~Know your Poisonous Species-
Agaricus xanthodermis
Amanita spp.
Boletus satanas
Chlorophyllum molybdites
Conocybe coprophila
Conocybe filaris
Cortinarius rubellus
Galerina marginata=Galerina autumnalis=Galerina venenata
Galerina pseudomycenopsis
Galerina badipes
Hebeloma insigne
Hypholoma fasciculare
Inocybe sororia
Lactarius uvidus
Lepiota brunneoincarnata
Lepiota helveola
Lepiota josserandii
Lepiota lutea
Russula emetica
Stropharia aeruginosa
And many, many, more!
Galerinas, and Conocybe filaris, which are extremely poisonous mushrooms, are commonly found in mulched gardens, and have been observed sharing the same habitat as Psilocybe cyanescens and other Psilocybes; They also may resemble some active species like those in the genus Gymnopilus (not covered in this guide) and Psilocybes.
Another example of misidentification involves Chlorophyllum molybdites, a species commonly referred to as "green gills" or "Morgan’s" Lepiota.. Chlorophyllum molybdites is usually mistaken for Psilocybe cubensis in the South.
~How to identify a Mushroom-
Note the Cap
Note the Gills
Note the Stalk (Stipe)
Note any Veils
Note it’s Habitat
Note the Spores~ Make a Spore Print- Remove the stem from the cap. Place the cap on a piece of white paper; Black if the spores are white, like with Amanita spp. Allow it to sit 1-24 hours. When you pick up the cap you’ll have a spore print.
Take very descriptive notes while the mushroom is fresh; dried mushrooms look completely different from fresh ones.
Consult guides, the internet, books and pictures until you’re 100% sure before ingesting your specimen.

There it is!! What do you think?? Note- I don't need info on the cap, stem, or gills of each shroom, but any other info would be great, espeically under the "comments" section for each shroom....
