PNW Cyan Id Request!
#7513247 - 10/13/07 07:29 PM (16 years, 3 months ago) |

Alright, i have here a small portion (of a large patch) of possible cyans. It was somewhat late to go hunting and today was very hot, so unfortunately they were dried out. They have the same characteristics of cyans that ive found before, and resemble dried cyans, but being a novice hunter i would like to be sure (and not accidentally commit suicide)







 I have a few that look somewhat like these, and im afraid they might be a lookalikes of some sort.
 ^^
 ^^However notice the small purple tinge thats still there. I noticed this on all of the slightly wet mushrooms (like 4 or 5 of them)

Any help with this id would be greatly appreciated!

I am still fairly new but I think you're going to have to wait until some fresh ones come up because those are so dried out it seems hard to identify. But maybe someone more experienced knows.

Not them, and too old to print. Ditch 'em

those aren't cyans. I see those all the time in the forest. I wish they were active but alas, they are not. They are perhaps collybia or gymnopus....maybe even inocybe.

those are not cyans. For many reasons but if they were old cyans then they would be black and the caps would be turned upwards/ They dont get that mature and keep a plane cap
-------------------- Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.

mmm...I don't think so. Those don't look to be cyans at all, perhaps you should print a great majority of them, you may have a mixed batch. Just because the print is purple doesn't mean it is active too.
