landsnorkler's Incredible Tropical Shroom Adventure "2008" Winter In Kauai
    #7768113 - 12/17/07 01:05 AM (16 years, 1 month ago)

Hey everybody, got in to Kauai last night. It's fucking great to be here!!! Truly is paradise. So, I got up this morning at sunrise and went for a jog around the hotel. About 5 minutes into the jog I end up in this big, super sexy field. I'm glancing at the ground of course (myco addicted), and lo and behold I see something familiar. Panaeolus Subbalteatus, the most common active mushroom I find in Montana, hanging out by my left foot in Kauai. Pretty cool. So, I memorize the spot and keep running, looking out for any others. A little up the way I see an entoloma species. Then I veer up onto the main street and try to pull my gaze away from the amazing scenery around me to look at lawns. Didn't see any more mushrooms until almost back to the room, when I saw some coprinus or coprinellus. So, I grabbed the camera and headed back out.

Sunrise, the day begins:

This is who woke me up (thanks):

Coprinus or coprinellus:


Panaeolus Subbalteatus growing from what I believe was decomposing grass clippings, deposited between a mowed section and unmowed field:










They were growing all down the line you can see cutting diagonally across. Grass clippings were deposited along this line:

Substrate:

The haul:




Blueing:

More tomorrow!!!

Thanks !!!  It truly was an amazing first day.  Love how it's winter where I'm from and down here it feels like it's always an endless summer.  So many cool things.  Geckos, crabs, exotic plants.  Ggreatone, I did go snorkeling yesterday.  Not on mushrooms, but that is something I want to  do.  Only problem is the water seems to be a bit murky right now.  That would be fucking great though!!!

Well, it's day 2, and I got up at sunrise again for a mushroom exploration run, and holy shit,  I've already found copelandia cyanescens!!!  I'm so stoked.  I was running up a river valley, on a busy road.  As I worked my way up I saw a beautiful pasture on my right.  I just couldn't resist.  So, despite the cars that had an easy view of me, and the farm complex I could see in the distance I climbed over a completely overgrown fence.  The grass was much taller than me, and there was a deep layer of dead grass under my feet.  But then I came out into the area that had been grazed.  I started seeing some fairly fresh cow paddies chilling on the ground.  Some had tiny little coprinus growing on them.  I was a little nervous, so I wasn't completely focused.  Toward the farmhouse I could see that a truck was heading down a road running perpendicular to me.  I thought for sure he saw me and was going to come harass me.  There was thick vegetation all around me though, which helped to calm me down a bit.  So I kept walking around, trying to stay fairly hidden.  And then...I saw something my mind knew.  A pattern ingrained into my brain.  Copelandia Cyanescens erupting from a well decomposed cow pie.  Beautiful specimens.  Some, about six inches tall.  Unluckily, I didn't have my camera, so I picked them.  One already had some beautiful blue on the mycelium around the base.  I was estatic.  I wanted to do a shroom dance right there, but I figured I should probably sneak out of there with what I had.  So, back to the road I went, shrooms in hand.  I grabbed an empty styrofoam cup off the side of the road and dropped the goods in there.  Beautifully, I made it back home safely, and even found another subb on the way, in a new location.  So far I have mostly seen active shrooms.  Pretty incredible.  I'll post pics this evening of the picked cyanescens.  And tomorrow morning I'm bringing the camera straight to that magic pasture I stumbled upon.  Well I'm off to go landsnorkeling in the mountains.  Peace!!!

Mimosa sensitiva-the leaves on this thing curl up when touched.  Fucking sick!!!  But it is a weed from Brazil:(

One of many amazing flowers:

Morning Glories-the subbs were growing very near to these:

Some sexy vegetation:

Papaya tree:

Cactu- Aloha buddy (I had to say it)!!! I think the field where they were found was cleared of trees some time ago, and has been overtaken with grasses, and morning glories. It is right by the beach, and between my hotel, and another one, so people walk along its edge. The edge closest the beach is mowed for gringos like me. And the clippings are deposited along a line separating the mowed from unmowed. The bigger subbs were back in the the taller grasses, and smaller subbs out in the mowed. But all were right near that line. So far this has been a dream come true. Actives on the first two days. Day one subbs, day 2 copes!!! You would love it here my man.

Mm, sounds like the Blue Meanies made you hop that fence.. they can do that to people.. they wanted to be rescued..

Remember, there could be a whole dump-truck full of Copelandia's in that field calling your name, but not a single one of them would be worth getting busted over.. or wrestled to the ground by a loco Hawaiian native shroom-field owner :chuckles:

Trespassing into a Copelandia pasture simply just is not worth the risks involved for me, anymore. No matter how mouth-watering they could be, no matter how sweetly and subliminally they whisper their songs to you, it is wise to control their calls within your soul unless you talk with the farmer first. If there is no farmer there, then I usually would not cross the fence. Especially along a busy road !

Maybe if I was in Mexico or Thailand, picking with cactu or Mj, then I would feel safe about it. But not in any United States fields I don't trespass for shrooms, anymore.

Those subbalteatus are looking shroomier to me than any "stolen" Copelandia's.. with the subbs, it is a completely smoother and safer enviroment and experience to collect the magic..

Hack yes though man, I am excited to see the collection of Copes you made. You have an excellent digital camera too btw. Stunning images. Tropical lighting. Good vibes on those subbalteatus shots..

:mushroom2:

Edit: My 7,000th post at the shroomery was another nastalgic lesson about the seductor, lady copelandia. heheha

I just clicked back on this topic to read cactu's response to the shrooms, and i looked at the date seeing 2007.. and I thought "wtf", thinking it was already 200&8 for some reason.. moral of the story, Landsnorkels tropical shroom photographs sent me into some sort of time-warp.. hahah! - everyone rate LS five-shrooms for walking down the center-line of a golden road paved with Panaeolus mushrooms. Transporting shroomers through magical time-warp tunnels again..exercising magical powers of superior reasoning upon all who view this incredibly vibalicious shroom adventure. Don't eat too many of them though, or you might come back to Montana and change your screenname to LandSnorkelerTheGGreat. :smile: Complete and utter shroominess. I'm stickying this topic for the remainder of your vacation. :cool:

Whewy, just got back from a great hike. Found lots of cool shrooms. Some really nice ones with volvas. A toad, and an orb spider also.

Anyway, onto the copes. I'm going to head back there tomorrow morning with my camera!!! This time I feel I should ask the farmer. That would not be cool to get busted in paradise. Can't be too greedy. Thanks GGreatone for reminding me. I'm glad you can be a part of my trip too!!! Day 1-subbs, day 2-copes, day 3-voyeur cope porn!!! This evening I'll post the copelandia shots, and other tropical shrooms from my hike. Thanks for the extra special vibes Cactu. I feel them brother.

Oh yeah, Wowitch, I figured they lost potency, because of how much they blue. But I assume they are still worth eating when a little bit dry. I'd like to save em for a little bit later in the trip. Is this worth it? Thanks. They are so beautiful!!!
Peace!!!

winter 07 Hawaiian myco-porn fest!

It's just like the story of the grasshopper and the octopus.
All year long, the grasshopper kept burying acorns for winter, while the
octopus mooched off his girlfriend and watched TV.
But then the winter came, and the grasshopper died, and the octopus ate all his acorns.
Also he got a race car.
Is any of this getting through to you?

Cope time!!! These pictures arn't that great. But these are the first pics I've taken of copelandia cyanescens, and hopefully not the last. So, I'm excited, to say the least. I couldn't upload all of the pictures from today, because the connection keeps cutting out here, but I've got some pics from todays hike. There were some cool shrooms out there today. These were found growing with ironwood, and some other kind of tree, I think some kind of locus. I need to do some research on the trees. We started on a dryer side of this mountain, and then worked our way into wetter country. The trees began to change, and mushrooms became more abundant. We ended up on the top of a 1000 foot mountain, overlooking the area we're staying in, and looking inward toward the wettest spot on earth, Mt. Wai'ale'ale, which recieves over 400 inches of rain a year (rains all the time up there). The clouds are brought in by the tradewinds from the northeast, and release their moisture as they slam into the island. Perfect environment for sustained mushroom growth!!!

Copelandia cyanescens:


From the hike
Mountain we hiked up:

Toad from the journey:

First shrooms, I'm not very familiar with any of the shrooms I found, but I think these are lepiotoid:


No idea. I can't tell if it's sponge or just really crinkled up gills. If they are gills, then I'm thinking galerina. Otherwise, no idea.

Not sure, maybe pholiota:

These seemed to be the most fungally popular trees:

I like these:

I really like these. Some type of amanita or volvariella:



They were growing mainly with these ironwoods:

View from the top:

random view from hike:


Well that was a pleasant day. I'm worn out. Finding all these shrooms is making me drowsy. First thing tomorrow I will be going out for a beautiful mornin of copelandia herding. I'm printing the beauties I have now for further "studying" upon my return to Mantana.
Peace!!!

Yea, Galerina for sure.

The only other thing it could be is Gymnopilus.

The toad is Bufo marinus, a toxic toad that was released in Hawaii in 1932 in a horrifyingly misguided attempt to control sugar cane beetles.

The venom glands do secrete poison, but it lacks the psychoactive 5-meo-dmt found in B. alvarius venom.

yeah, couldn't forget about you guys!!! That is very interesting about that toad. I had a feeling it was either entheogenic or poisonous.

I went back to the pasture this morning, and walked around with the camera. It's crazy, I walked almost straight into seven fat copes yesterday, and searched a good half of the field this morning, finding only 3 more. This field is massive too. I think those copes did want to be rescued!!! I did find what I believe to be a different species of copelandia though, maybe cambodgeniensis. It had a more red stem, with whitish fibrils. The margin was more incurved too. I found this first snapped some shots thinking it was cyanescens. I then looked harder at it, and became skeptical. But I threw it in my pack anyways. When I looked at it 20 mins later it was BLUE!!! Then I found a for sure cyanescens, with a bunch of old huge ones that were completely rotten and black/blue. To be continued. Going hiking now!!!

Cactu, my first thought strangely was that the toad was entheogenic. I don't know why. I just felt it. Damn, I should have licked it, hehe.

Ahhhhh, it is pouring rain out rain now. A beautiful sound and smell. How long do copelandias take to mature? I'm thinking 3-4 days. Hopefully my little friends will return soon. but I'm gonna go searching in new places. There's more pastures up the valley from where I was that look enchanted. It rains every day so I'm hopeful. Wonderfulness!!!

:thumbup:hello  well i have done with this pictures yet questions to be answer
wtf are those green mushy in this picture are you playing mind games with me .the big mushrooms appear one of the species of melanoleuca sp.what is the small green friend?


the next mushrooms i do´n´t think is either gym or galerina look at those gill even are some how deterioreting.maybe a gym will se if  i can find more.

. the next one i agree with pholiota .

then those wood are  fron mangle

then this cluster of collybya  look real cool and mossy to be in a tropical enviroment


then that amanita i wonder  , you know amanita are really rare only  appear in well conserve tropical enviroment,

the next picture of the tree is a casuarina or salix sp.

beutifull view  you can see the hot spot there :yesnod:
last picture is a acacia sp. or leguminosae.
all my best vibration .

Day 3-Got back to the pasture this morning, walked maybe half of it. Still amazed that I walked directly into a fat paddy of copes yesterday, and found only 3 today after searching half the field!!! Somehow, I was called by those beauties yesterday. Such a beautiful place. A few posts up I talked about how I believe I picked cyanescens today, along with a different copelandia species. Tropicalis or combodginiensis. The specimans got a little beat up on my way back, but I got some decent field shots today!!! After a session of copeing this morning we went for an incredible hike. Found some rad shrooms, and some awesome scenery. Here's the pics.

Sunrise this mornin:

Early morning coprinus growing from palm frond duff:

Cool crab found on the beach this mornin:

This poop is loaded with life:

unknown copelandia species growing from horse dung:

Unknown cope on left, two inactive panaeolus on right:

Copelandia cyanescens:

Inactive panaeolus, maybe antillarum?:

Blueing cyanescens cap:

Beat up copes, unknown on top:

Copelandia cyanescens stem porn:


Hike pics
Density at trailhead:

Cool fungus with pores, maybe trametes, probably not:

This thing was amazing:




These were cool, very bright:



Funky trees:

Galerina:


This is looking up toward wettest place on earth:

Not sure:

Laccaria:

Cool trees:

Nice lichen:

Pretty huh?:

Life and death:

This tree was covered in saprophytic plants:


Peace!!! More tomorrow.

ok after the asaroe, is a picnopurus this time not sanguinius not cinnambarius this time a local sp.also could be rigidoporus sp.

then you have more good habitad more canopy , more able to walk that mean is not so disturbed when you see to many bush you can even wlak is to cow there and is really disturbed,
then you have soem gymnopilus , note all tropical gymnopilus are small more than temperate. lepidotus aff..

then , then , then the, whoa, landsnorkel go to those mountains where the cloud are there is the place i was toking about if you can mix it with the waterfall that is , is the solution , the last piece of the puzzle,.

there are some species of tropical lepista sligh resemblence like that reference lepista yucatensis.but maybe somethig else marasmius , maybe. help?

i suppot the laccaria even are real rare maybe another collybya,

then are those bromeliads are they hanging from a tree or palm great, maybe you find orchid s there too.

Haha, your english is better than you let on.

It looks like Galerina to me. I am not sure where the dividing line between Galerina and Gymnopilus is, maybe it has something to do with the pileus cuticle.

Why has no one invented a portable microscope? Its not like the lenses needed are that massive or heavy. I envision a little thing that can do 200, 400, or 1600x, and can use sunlight or LED's to light the stage.

Yo!!! Surnrise, sunrise. Pouring out again. Probably rained over an inch last night. And now again. Cactu, I envision there being some amazing things up within that mist also. The only problem is getting up there. Apparently the only way is by helicopter. I was thinking about looking in zapotecorumish habitats for unknown psilocybes...It's near impossible to penetrate into any of the ravines though due to extreme vegetation. Today I think we are gonna check out this canyon, can't remember what it's called. However, soon we will be going to waterfall land!!! The Na Pali coast.
Haha. Just heard an older lady asking two of the Hawaiians working here, when the nice time to be here is. Hahahaha. She then proceeded to say, "I bet it's nicer in Palm Springs." After she walked off, the two Hawaiians started talking in native tongue and cracking up big time.

buenos dias .
will make a correct id of your finds , some seem how overwell by the tropical enviroment..
i have been looking at this pictures and those green friend are definatly mushrooms i see gill there in one specimen i can´t put the big pictures my left botton of mouse don´t seem to work .any how

i guess it relate to this Melanoleuca yucatensis

this is for sure an amanita of the tropics , that i recall volvariella don´t have a ring .

this are collybya sp .

this could be a gymnopilus , not real sure.

now this copes are the tigritos i hope you are saving spore but not in tisuee paper, in plain paper better,

this specie is a poliporacius call Coltricia perennis, you can see the zonate band with velvet hairs, grow from buried wood.

a picture for reference


now this Aseroe rubra is something else , real nice find, did you smell it , hope so you can even taste the black chocolate there .
real yummy .

another picture for reference.


the nex specimen is posible a pycnoporus or Rigidosporus sp.
some picture of pycnoporus to compare

now one of rigidoporus

that´s what my books said

this is a most book for tropical id very good pictures

this others too but for many other pourposes.





all my best .

then that you say galerina i guees is a gymnolipus maybe close to this one.


this one is a gymnopilus that grow in mexico very close to gymnopilus lepidotus this one is still not identificate.i guees we can rule out galerina because no galerina grow in tropical enviroment, and also because more feutures like cap , spores etc.

some paneolus antillarum for reference at leat that what my book said.


always the best,

I figured out the gymnopilus as gymnopilus subtropica, or something like that. Can't remember the exact name. Saw lots more of the stinkhorns on today's hike. They are actually quite common round here. Today's treck was fucking intense!!! I guess there were hurricane force winds a couple weeks ago along with very heavy rains and thunderstorms (rare around here). So, many trees were downed on the trail. But there was an abundance of funguys. First stop was Waimea canyon, for some dope views. Then we cruised up to near the top of the island for a hike. A very different environment from the last few days, so some new shrooms. This trail was more overgrown, and wound through many different ecosystems. We drove through what looked like a somewhat arid area on our way up, and then ended up back in supa dense jungal for the hike. There were some conifers too, which I hadn't seen yet. Redwoods, cedar, cook island pine, and others. This place is so fuckin sick. Well, here's the goods:

Waimea Canyon:

We ended up hiking over the top of this falls:

Rain in the distance:

First shrooms of the day:

At trailhead:
Laetiporous sulphereus? That would be awesome. I've never seen or eaten them.



others from th.

On to the hike:
Lepiota?


These guys were everywhere:


The trail near beginning:

These flowers were sick. Looks like they were made for a long bird beak to suck out nectar:

Brugmansia sp.:

?:


?, gonna be alot of ?marks:

Dope flower:

Possibly unopened lepiota:

lepiota:

Bad photo, but this thing was tight. Similar to conocybe filaris:

shit loads of these:

Cornucopia of oddities:

lepiota:

no gills:

These look like gaaalllerrriiinnnaaas:

more damn lepiotas:

Perfect artist's conk (this thing was huge):

fungal paradise:

Intermission: Sit back, have some fried chicken and cheap beer.
This fucker looks alot like me:

Mossy:


And we're back, I love these things:

Amanita muscaria var. formosa (apparently quite rare here):


Lycoperdon:

Above that waterfall:

Where's Landsnorkler:

Pretty polypores:

whheeewwwy!!!!

Are you sure galerinas don't grow in tropical environs. I think I remember reading about a hawaiian galerina. Thanks for all the help so far man, and alan, and gg, and everyone else. I really appreciate it. Love yall. Oh yeah, the waterfalls are sick.

galerina are not commond in tropical enviroment , but i´m not totally sure if some exist may be especially in higher altitude as for example here are galerina but mostly in temperate enviroment, , as you know since you beging rising in altitude the temperature drops few degrade and mountains act as a condences and atract all humidity and dropp more water so places in altitude more that 1400 meter are not tropical anymore but subtropical , so species of nordic eviroment can grow here and since also the same species they use , example you are in a tropical enviroment but since all those cedar have been introduce to the island, and as you said many other coniferus, well many specie that really are introduce can exist specially at highet elevation and with introduce flora,that why you can find amanita muscaria and it a rarity because the temperatures are in the border of no good parameter because is more coomon in more hing island and with real pine ,did you look real pines there or onle cedar,and red woods, you know all those species of tree where planted that is a ecological damage to all the other native species, of tree and mushrooms and plant, but enoufh biology , good pictures my man , that guy really look like you but without the visor, i was going to say with out the snorker but sound weird i guess.
i will id some of your find if i can latter im going to go out in a while i guees , since i love to do that because i learn a lot in the process,
now that was a great hikke, good , the waterfall look amazing , but you know what was missing for the psilocybe a big canopy of trees , and for more mushrooms also , but you will find it ,
i can bet than in lower altitude galerina don´t exist but in more higher elevations, have a good day

Undergrounder, yeah that sounds right. Thanks!!!
Cactu, that makes perfect sense. I actually got cold up there yesterday. The hike we're going on today will have quite the canopy I believe, so should be nice. Yeah, there are some introduced conifers. However most of the time hunting was spent in native forrest. I guess the altitude explains the amanita, and galerinas, and gymnopilus subtropica, not gymnopilus tropica. Wish me luck on my "trip." Peace!!!

Dude WTF? I was in Kauai last May and I saw NO MUSHROOMS. I was even asking around. Nobody had seen any mushrooms. I heard lots of people say "Higher in the mountains." Went up there and still found nothing.

Kauai is a freaking great place. Have fun. Also, you absolutely MUST visit the taro chip factory in Hanapepe. Have you ever driven 50 miles for a bag of chips? I have. It was to that place. We were staying on the opposite side of the island.

It's just like the story of the grasshopper and the octopus.
All year long, the grasshopper kept burying acorns for winter, while the
octopus mooched off his girlfriend and watched TV.
But then the winter came, and the grasshopper died, and the octopus ate all his acorns.
Also he got a race car.
Is any of this getting through to you?

:froman:hello  my friend , is good to see you are having a good time.
since you are now more use to  hunt in the  jungle , you have notice the jungle is diferent. the mayority of the mushrooms  grow from wood almost the 80%, why is that . well because many factors, in this places the rains are more than 1400 mm all years and even  more than 2000 mm in some places,and this plus the  high heat , help to degradate  all organic matter that why you dont find many leaves or compost leaves, in this forest there is a thing space of humus in the ground, that why  mushrooms have trouble to leave in this  tipe of medium since it dissappear before they can complete their cicle , well this is not the case for mold, and other tipe of mushrooms as marasmius very coomon in leaves litter. all the mushrooms grow  mayority on wood, in live wood or trees some parasit other as first decomposer of wood, other as second decomposer etc, most lepiotas are  lighicolas here , is  very well notice the abbsence  of micorrisic fungus simple beacuse of the lack of the  tree host, and climate , and the competence in the  jungle is crucial  , you can notice all trees are some how diferent more that the comooond  temperate forest where all tyhe mass of tree tend to be for 3 or 4 species in  acres of forest, well in the jungle competition is  the rule of the day, is interest to notice certaing mushrooms can be use as target indicator or some how or degradation or conservance of the forest ,  for example pycnoporus indicate  open area ,sunny and with some disturbance, pristinejungle have species of amanita,phillipsia , cookeria, coenogium, ramaria, marasmius,etc.
ok let´s get to the id contest:

-First shrooms of the day: have a caracteristic space gill , tha leave it from lepiota,maybe is marasmiellus sp. those have spaced gills.
-At trailhead:
Laetiporous sulphereus? That would be awesome. I've never seen or eaten them.
yes those are  the chicken , real nice one , they still see eatable.
-others from th.
maybe marasmius are very commond many species in the tropic.
-On to the hike:
Lepiota?
that a lepiota , i see that is growing in the area of the cedar and  red woods or cupresus sp. , i wonder from where does it come from may be introduce.
-These guys were everywhere:
now that a perfect example of marasmius sp, maybe the tropical version of oreades, is importand to notice smell in this species,
-The trail near beginning:
this look like mexico a mix of tropical and  neotropical species, those cedar are big  real old now.
-These flowers were sick. Looks like they were made for a long bird beak to suck out nectar:
sure it does, those are probably like that for the prosbocide of zone hummind birds or nocturnal butterfly´s.
-Brugmansia sp.:
that  floripondio is big and look diferent than us ,nice i love this plant for the flowers i have many in my house , or used to have.
-?
that is posible a Trametes sp. very commond in tropical enviroment i will have to look the underside to be sure and the structures of the pores but all match , posible too trichaptum,hexagonia,daedalea, but my money is in trametes.
-?, gonna be alot of ?marks:
this mushrooms recive many names  for micotaxonoimist  but is recognice  for the teeh like pores in the underside,flavodum sp.
-Dope flower:
for sure.
-Possibly unopened lepiota:
:thumbup:
-lepiota
look like the same as above but more mature maybe lepiota are very coomond growing in log .
-Bad photo, but this thing was tight. Similar to conocybe filaris:
if that is not conocybe  what is?? filaris brother.
-shit loads of these:
those look like perfect exazmple of collybya sp. some collybya are edible , indias in amazon eat then.
-Cornucopia of oddities:
as long as you keep finding asaroe, coprinus,and posible lycogalopsis solmsii the white ball thing.
-lepiota:
:thumbup:
-no gills:
haha , you are not familiar with auricularias, this one seem to be auricularia fuscosuccinea , since is common in tropical enviroment and don´t seem to have  venacion as other auricularias, this  mushrooms are edible and medicinal , at leat for asian people.
-These look like gaaalllerrriiinnnaaas:
sure also as more conocybe.
-more damn lepiotas:
told you lepiota are  very commnond along with marasmius and the massive fruit bodys of the poliporaceus are the most coomond find in jungle,
-Perfect artist's conk (this thing was huge):
that can easy be ganoderma australe, very common in the tropics
-fungal paradise:
maybe favolus brasilensis, or dyctiopanus, corius versicolor.
-Intermission: Sit back, have some fried chicken and cheap beer.
This fucker looks alot like me:
i can´t id with out a spore print, did it bruise, don´t rub to much.
-Mossy:
beautifull.
-And we're back, I love these things:
so soon :frown:. love those thing too.
-Amanita muscaria var. formosa (apparently quite rare here):
that is a great  find . beutifull specimens:yesnod:
-Lycoperdon:
:thumbup:
-Above that waterfall:
you guys walk a lot. thanks .
-Where's Landsnorkler:
you are not there because you are taking the picture.
-Pretty polypores:
i guees you are right , and the name can vary  on upon taxonomist.
all my best, to you.

Sweet. Thanks for all the help cactu. You are the shit. I know what you mean by things decomposing very fast in the jungle. In dense jungle all the shrooms were growing from wood, which made spotting them easy for me. That is great those are chicks, I'm gonna eat em tomorrow. How are things goin in Mexico?

Alright. Today turned out to be a chill day. We were tired, so we decided to snorkel, and beach bum today. Saw many cool fish, and some sea turtles. Tons of humuhumunukunukuapua'a. A few mushrooms though, some oyster mushrooms, which will go well with the chickies. Speaking of chickies, hot damn, when at the beach I have to lay on my stomach. Tomorrow we'll be getting into a long hike up the na pali coast!!! Stoked about it. On to today's pics.

First snorkel spot, fucking tight.

These were growing under ironwood:
some agaricus:

more agaricus?:

marasmius?:

another agaricus?

beat up earthstars:

oysters!!!(much flimsier than I'm used too):

more marasmius?:

don't know:

that's a huge snail:

Bananas anyone?:

I was looking around at a polo field for copes or subbs, didn't find any, but found these:


Then, not finding any copes, I started to get crabby:

2nd snorkeling spot. This place was amazing:

coral:

sea urchin:

sea urchins:

tide pool window:

North shore:

Who said rainbows are gay. Straighten the Rainbow!!!!!!!

Peace!!!

Awesome thread. Congrats on the great finds! :mushroom2:

I have yet to vist Kauai but some of my best memories are from Oahu, Maui and the Big Island. I went
hunting in beautiful Hana, Maui without success but it didn't matter; just being there is magical enough.

buenos dias , every day  i woke up to see your píctures, are amazing, really intructive and productive . once you undesrtnd  trees you will understand more mushrooms, they are so related, i wonder what is the tree you call iron woods somet is tipe of coniferus?.when i see the litter of leaves i see leaves of casuarina sp, araucaria,cedars or cupresus sp, all not from the island , .
look like you will not  needing  to much help this time  in id, good.
-some agaricus
i wonder why type of mushrooms people eat in  those island , they must not be very fungofilian , but  may now introduce many species to the  diet, how those agaricus smell . some of the best agaricus can smell real good.
-marasmius?
for sure .:thumbup:
-beat up earthstars:
all geastrum or other earthstars are micorrisic , those are the one helping the trees there to survive,the  spores can be use if you have a cut , and are bleddding you put the dust of spores and help stop the bleeding.
-oysters!!!(much flimsier than I'm used too):
nice , they look real diferent color of what i´m use to hunt here all are  white or pink, or in betwen .
-more marasmius?:
yes , there are very common in the litter of leaves this is not a tropical friend do , may be introduce with those  casuarina trees , those cone i can 100% asure are casuarina sp, this trees come from some island close to australia,in mexico is call fake mexican pine for fun, the sound of the air is real good when it pass  trought the leaves  make a strange sound, 
-don't know:
this may be a clitocybe, a somehow dry lactarius and in a lesser degre a russula.
-that's a huge snail:
you realized those snail are very good indicator , they feed on active species , most of the time on inocybe .


i put some very importand  dates so you don´t forget of us, 22 of december is solticius of winter, the longest night  of the year. i will be conected to the magic world if you like to pm in this dates, my password is ¨the most highya¨.

-I was looking around at a polo field for copes or subbs, didn't find any, but found these:
be carefull some pluteus may be active.
-Then, not finding any copes, I started to get crabby:
nice  crab  .you have to conect to find more.
beautifull  escenery did you took pictures  underwater , look pretty nice are those erizos de mar, beutiful,
-Who said rainbows are gay. Straighten the Rainbow!!!!!!!
i guees is gay not to picture  those ,
you aks about mexico wel  this was  a month ago

this is from yeasterday.


always the best...

Wow man, landsnorkler, you have really contributed a extremely wonderful set of images here!!!!

I like the looks of the Chicken of the Woods that you photographed.. those are kinda yummy edibles I think. :cool:

You are a rather talented photographer, all around i think.. You have captured a good vibe into each of your images!

If you don't mind me asking.. what type of digital camera do you use? I want to get the exact same model, tommorrow. :sun:

:bow:

cactu, you have done another great job with your identification help on this topic! It is great to have you around teaching people.. I am wondering something though.. How is it that you are able to relate to so much of the Mycoflora and Trees and stuff of the Hawaiian Islands, relating it so closely to what you are familiar with in Mexico? They seem, kind of far apart on the globe from one another.. I understand that both areas recieve a whole lot of rainfall, and are both tropical or sub-tropical enviroments, could you please expand on this question for us?

thank you i really love to id mushrooms, since i learn so much in the process , iam able to relate since many of the trees that are there are also here not all of course since , all Hawaiian island have a volcanic history and since is isolated of course they have endemic , flora ,and fauna, but for the destruction of habits for humans and the introduction of animals and plant to the island , if you look for example the first day , that someone bring cow to the island , was long ago for a pirate , captain , and well it change a lot the ecosystem , now many of the beautifully land scape the landsnorkelr show us was cut to cow farming i guess, this a dramatic thing for nature, i will tel you a secret , you all have more trouble that i do to understand mushrooms simple because i´m a biologist i know few thing you don´t about plant and animal, i spend mi life reading book of the subject , that in a first glimpse i did not image was mushrooms related, but as you know in my life all is mushrooms related, and i can also say this if you look in a different way all is mushrooms related in our life, .
so why i understand about the environment , because there are some rules in biology, that apply to any part of the world and physics is physics every where you go, also i have more knowledge of the botanical stuff of Hawaiian island , but know i see that mushrooms are good part of it , i too get amaze of how many species are there from many part of the world ,
in some of the mycoflora landsnorkelt is finding over there i can relate the species from Mexico , Australia, Europe, , some of the mushrooms are from this part of the world and why are there in an isolated island ,
but you know that for mushrooms there is no isolated place spores can travel the hole world to fall to the ground, so in a way all places are related, i guess before the earth was more isolated since people don´t travel to much but know any thing can be a spore carrier even bags and merchandise.
you put me a place on earth and i can guaranty i can relate in 5 days to Mexico , i´m kidding maybe 10 days in some places...
also evolution play crazy roles in this endeavour for example there is many examples of animal that exist in certain hemispheres and not in other , for example the raccoons exist in the north part of America only and in sudamerica no , but instead nature create the coati , very much alike a racoon but from the south , so example as this goes on an on , the re is a way that nature use to equilibrate things , or is possible that some design in nature are so successfully that nature explore all the possibilities , well This also happens in mushrooms but in a more different scale, for example you can see the picture of asaroe rubra for landsnorkel from the island the ones from me in Mexico Veracruz, and the one of undergrower from Australia you could see all are related but in a way different , clearly different species, , another example is psilocybe cyanescens and PS subaeruginosa in Australia , that if you look at it look like the same cyanescens that adapt to a different environment and so specially in a different way , many other example, so nature always create one way of another the probe creations, and that why some species can have many years in evolution with out changing to much example turtles , are like living fossil,
i really can´t explain why i can tide all the world together i guess is because one long ago all land was connected, in pangea territory, for instance island are very important in evolution since show us the isolated process of speciation or animal plants mushroom you name it, example Darwin's study´s in the Galapagos archipelagos , there Darwin could probe how a specie can adquire different structures by natural selection and more other teorys, than now are more complex , but it was easy to see how some bird can be different only because of the diet and how in many years from a single specie many evolutionate,
so excuse me if i get carry away about this subject for me nature is the god´s most perfect expression if we understand nature we understand god something pretty big, nature is not that easy ...but tell a few secret to us humans observers ...

all my best vibrations..

Ok funguys and fungals, I'm wiped. Went on a long hike today. Started off the morning right with a breakfast of copes and subbs. "It" was very nice. Hike was amazing!!! Here's pics:

I eat these things for breakfast (orb weaver?):

Near trailhead:

Near the beach, about 2 miles in.


Beach:

DHARMA initiative outhouse(I took a shit up there. I always shit while tripping, strange):

We began hiking up this creek, the mushrooms began!!!:

I'll take a stab, collybia (tryin to figure these tropical fungi out):

This girl had lickable nipples:


Marasmius?:

Really tall bamboo:

rotten stink horn:

Crepidotus?:

This log was the motherload, solid fungi, never seen anything like it (coprinellus?):




?

?

coprinellus?:

Another toad, this one peed on me:

?

I like this one, holyfield's ear. (pretty sure you id'd these cactu):

growing from bamboo litter (they look like those chinese hats):

Waterfall we trekked to:

This whole hike was pretty isolated and cool:

Peace people!!!

Wow man beautiful pics, and that mushroom tree is just insane!! Ima nominate that for best pic of the month. I think you discovered a fairy hideout or something.

Beautiful scenery, stunning waterfall. Looks like im going ot have to get to Hawaii one day. What island are you on?

:yesnod:aloha  hermano . what a nice day .
i know what you mean to eat  spider  for braksfast and copes. those spider are very commond here and copes. ha ha .
what  a great place ,
now to id  :
-I'll take a stab, collybia (tryin to figure these tropical fungi out):
actually i think that is a pluteus , i see a pink  gill inside, maybe, ...
-This girl had lickable nipples:
that may be a collybya.since is white spores and coneshaped.all collybya have white stems and hollow stem, not sure if this one does.
-Marasmius?:
if it is white spored could be marasmiellus since  gill are too spaced.
-Crepidotus?:
whoa that was a ball , open in two  next time i think those bruise grean  when open .
-This log was the motherload, solid fungi, never seen anything like it (coprinellus?):
good call they seem to have dark spores . :shocked:
-?
trametes maxima is identical to it and coriolopsis polyzona the diference is that in trametes the  under surface(pores )are with minute teeth that make  hard to the touch and in coriolopsis is smoth.
-?
that look like a pin of innotus, or flavodum flavus.
-coprinellus?:
you will notice many white spored  minute mushrooms grow in logs, the big ones big spores not with clusters may ne lepiota, the small ones more coomon tyou can separate  for spaced gill marasmiellus , not spaced gill  and in tigh cluster collibya, not cluster but in big groups  as you past picture of coprinellus in log, well they can be  many micena, marasmius, the white spores only so your mushrooms is a good change to be marasmius, micena.
-Another toad, this one peed on me:
whoa  what a good picture the reflection in the eye of the tad is atonishings , increible,  that  is a bufo but not marinus maybe a local specie..
-?
i wonder what is it,  maybe a coprinus pin.
-I like this one, holyfield's ear. (pretty sure you id'd these cactu):
:rofl: yes is auricularia holyfiedensis ..
-growing from bamboo litter (they look like those chinese hats):
i guess is a micena .
-Waterfall we trekked to:
excellend
-This whole hike was pretty isolated and cool:
that is a beutifull place,
all  my best , today is the longest night , the soltisce of winter have begun ...........

Aloha. Undergrounder, there must have been fairies around. It was a solid flush of shrooms. Something else. This is my final day here. We leave tonight. Went jogging this morning back up to the pasture for some grand finale copelandia shots. Found some more!!! I guess the daily rains just keep em coming. Found cyanescens and the unknowns, which may actually be cyans, I'm just not very familiar with the growth stages of them, and how the appear throughout their life above ground (poop). On the one paddy I found, there were many stages of the mushrooms. Teenagers, senior citizen, dying, and dead. I'm printing the senior citizen, and one of the teenagers, which could be the unknown species. I'll leave the copemasters (cactu, gg, wowitch, anybody else?) to decide. It may be worth sending spores to Workman. I also found some other type of panaeolus I havn't seen yet. Looks sort of like sphinctrinus or something, but not sure, because there's not much of a toothy margin.

I'm going to head back over to the subb spot also, as I found a lone freshy subb growing in a field on my way back from copeville.

Cactu, hope you have a magical night tonight brother!!! You have helped me and inspired me in so many ways. I can't thank you enough.

GG, the camera I use is an Olympus Stylus 740. It's very nice, but I don't really like the viewfinder. It only has a digital viewfinder and nothing you can view through non-digitally, which can make it tough when the glare is bad. It takes damn good close-ups though. Sometimes landscapes can be a bit blurry, but all in all it is a decent camera. If you could get one with a digital and non-digital view finder that would be key.

Pics:
The magic pasture:

some coprinus:

possible unknown copes:






copelandia cyanescens:



These were all on same cow pie:


another cyan:


dying:


This is where I found em:

Unknown panaeolus:





Lone field panaeolus, maybe very white subb:


field I found it in:

printing copes:

stem shot:

blueing beginning on cap:

Peace!!!

from maui this morning:



and last nights sunset:



no copes yet


--------------------
It's just like the story of the grasshopper and the octopus.
All year long, the grasshopper kept burying acorns for winter, while the
octopus mooched off his girlfriend and watched TV.
But then the winter came, and the grasshopper died, and the octopus ate all his acorns.
Also he got a race car.
Is any of this getting through to you?

Beautiful!!! I saw two turtles while snorkeling, but didn't see any on land. What was it doing up there, laying eggs? Arn't the sunsets dope!!! Hope your trip is going well. You'll find some copes. Look in fields that arn't overgrazed, and that don't recieve too much sun.

Peace.

Oh man.. I saw a turtle while spearfishing, it was at least twice as big as that one pictured. It's hard to tell the scale but it was kind of scary lol, coming upon something that big in murky water. So far I've just been snorkling and hanging out at the beach every day, no terrain for mushrooms. The trip is going great, going to Hana for sure in the morning. I hope your trip was unforgettable, I'm sure it was. You've definately contributed some amazing shit in just a few days.

Also he got a race car.
Is any of this getting through to you?

Woah, you went spearfishing? You crazy Idahoan fuckers. Did you get anything? I saw some locals going out and harpoon (the spear gun thing) fishing. I wanted to go fishing so bad, but there wasn't enough time. I guess you can get pompano, jacks, tuna, and probably other things. Sounds fuckin tasty. Just looked up Hana, it sounds tight. What side of the island is it on? I'd recommend cope hunting on the east side, as it's much wetter. Peace mang.

Howdy. Just got back to Mantana yesterday. It's dumping snow here. Anyway. After going to the magic pasture yesterday, I had to stop back by the subb spot. There were some new subbs, and actually some matured fully in 5 days. Guess that makes sense.

I only found four copes, but thats just fine. There were hundreds and hundreds of pins coming up, a few days later and I would have filled up my backpack lol. Anyways, im a happy howlie. Yea spearfishing is alot harder than it looks.. I was using a hawaiin sling, got one trigger fish then gave up. I hear my house looks like that also, 6 inches of snow. Maybe I'll stay and be a bum. lol.

Excellent!!! I'm fuckin happy for you man. That looks like a sweet spot. Was it sketchy at all, or did you have permission. I'd say 4 fresh ones should be decent. But fuckin deffinitely go back and get more. That's great. I'm sittin here back in Mantana, and I can feel what it's like to be in that field. Fuck yeah!!! Don't wait t00 long for them to mature though. They grow real quick in that tropical climate. You'll love unlocking the magic down there, it's great. Well shit, now I feel like a little girl, because I didn't go spearfishing, and my Northern homie did. I gotta step it up for Montana. Maybe I'll go spear hunting for mountain lion or something, and post pics of the hunt. Do it all the time, anyway.

Well, I'm just happy to here that your trip is going well too. And I'm super stoked you got your copes!!! Going skiing tomorrow, Bridger Bowl got a measly 9 inches of cream, but that's better than nothin.
Peace!!!

Still can't figure out what those more yellowish copes are. The only pics I can find of the copelandias are from mushroom john, and they are fairly shitty pics (no offense john).

It was like a 3 hour drive to that spot, and I leave in like 2 days, someone else can pick them. I'm on the west shore and Hana is on the eastern shore. Nah it wasnt sketchy, its a public place but once you get up on the hill nobody can see you... and nobody else was there, just one girl running.. or picking, idk. It was all open so no barbed wire to jump.

I was told triggerfish are edible, but it was spewing blood and I was out a good 200 yards from shore alone, I left it there and swam back fast as fuck, human chum line lol. Spearhunt cougars, now thats a sport.

awesome stuff, mang.

I'd love to go there and hunt, play etc. Don't really need to go there for the mushrooms though, since most of those are found locally here, but it would be awesome to trip in paradise.

Oh, yeah... I just got a new camera and would like to recommend it for those wanting something awesome for around $200. Canon A720 IS. This camera is very highly rated, and I have been having a great time shooting with it. Can't wait for the next season to really show it off. All I've been finding lately are russula and marismus and a few others I can't ID, but it has been colder the past week. My favorite feature is the macro/normal toggle button right in plain sight on the back of the camera. I don't even have to look for the damn thing...

And it has an optical viewfinder.
