Yes, that is the one i was thinking of.

Alan, we should get a dedicated online group of myconauts together to scan as many monographs and other myco references onto one database as possible. How feasible do you think that would be??

Its a pretty awesome book, but the price is over $100, I'd recommend you borrow it from someone like I did.

Its a good bet that anyone who buys this book is not reading it, the subject matter is kind of intense.

> Mushrooms to Genus III: Microscopic Features

I did a search at my local public library for "mushrooms to genus microscopic features" and the first thing that came up was "Wonders of llamas".

So I restrict my search to books by Largent with Mushrooms in the title, and it comes back with "Murder with mushrooms" by John Creasey.

I had no trouble getting it through interlibrary loan.

Sure, I have web server space for it.

To avoid legal hassles, it would be best to keep such a resource from general public access, perhaps by invite only and password protected. And keep the search engines from picking it up.

I have tons of out of print material that I could scan such as Ola'h's 1969 Le Genre Panaeolus which is highly referenced by any papers on Panaeolus as well as Gerhardt's monograph. I also have every reference available on the Panaeolopsis.

Hehe, sorry. They are hard copies and still need to be scanned. I'll have them put in the myco library when ready.

Psilocybe semilanceata, 1600x: This is the highest magnification I can do with my current setup, the scope is set to 1600x and the camera is zoomed in to 4x, making the total magnification 6400x.

j/k j/k. Hehe, so what were the distinguishable micro differences between the Ps. semilanceata and the unknown Panaeolus or Panaeolina?

Pluteus salicinus spores, Indiana, 1000x, Godflesh collection



> Hehe, so what were the distinguishable micro differences between the Ps. semilanceata and the unknown Panaeolus or Panaeolina?

I don't have the Panaeolus/Psathyrella microscope photos here so I can't directly compare. Psilocybe and Psathyrella spores look very similar, the micro differences will be in the other parts of the mushroom such as the cap cuticle. (pileipellis)

Psilocybe subaeruginascens, auweia 01/26/08 collection

Spores, 1000x







Cheilocystidia, 1000x







I noticed something interesting in this specimen - The tips of the cystidia (both cheilo and pleuro types) were often green. At first I thought it was a anomoly, but I saw hundreds of cystidia cells with green tips. When the cystidia is sticking out of a gill edge, it can look like a mushroom with a transparent stem and a green cap. It appears to be staining from psilocin degradation. It doesn't surprise me that random cells contain psilocin that likes to turn blue or green, but it almost looks like psilocin is concentrated in the tips of the cystidia.

Green tipped cheilocystidia can be seen in the next four pics:









Pleurocystidia, 1000x
