Mexican pasture mushrooms 8/17
    #8859079 -

I arrived in Guadalajara, Mexico at 5pm and still a couple hours to look for mushrooms.  Cactu found these in a pasture. (high res images here.)







Some Conocybe growing on dung:  (high res images here.)



The is the most common Panaeolus in Jalisco and looks like a good match for Panaeolus papilionaceus.  It has a watery consistency, a mild panaeolus taste and is probably inactive.  Spores 7 - 9.5 x 12 - 14 micrometers, smooth, elliptical, with a germ pore.  (high res images here.)







This mildly active nonbluing Panaeolus is a different species that lacks the veil remnants around the cap margin and has a farinaceous taste.  Spores 8 - 10 x 11 - 15 micrometers, cheilocystidia lanceolate.  (high res images here.)







Maybe a Conocybe? (high res images here.)





Psilocybe mexicana (high res images here.)



















Hypomyces lactiflorum colonizing Russula brevipes.  It was pretty late by the time we found these and we had to feel for the mushrooms in almost pitch darkness.  There was a ring of them and got enough for dinner. (high res images here.)

Lovely pictures,

Those Psilocybe mexicana really do look similar to Semilanceata in a couple of pictures

Besides the taste and lack of veil remnents around the cap margin what differences does the non blueing active Panaeolus have from the  papilionaceus. I have seen so many Panaeolus that don't quite fit as acuminatus or papilionaceus here in southern Louisiana.  Is the gill spacing more distant?

Thanks.  These pics are all from the first three hours I was in Mexico.

Hard to say.  How good is your German?

The collection melted into black goo so its not possible to take another look at it, but I have some pics of the spores I will post later, and some spore measurements.  There may be some cystidia pics on Cactu's camera.

Yea this was exactly what a vacation should be.

Yes, P. mexicana is definitely the Mexican liberty cap.  Both are in section Mexicanae and grow in the same habitats - Always in grasslands where animals graze but never directly on dung.

They look different when you see them coming out of the patty.  The active one has a smaller, more conical cap then P. papilionaceus and it is a meatier mushroom.  You can't really see it in these pics because the flash washed out the color but the active species has more of a reddish brown tint on the cap while the inactives have more of a grey cap that expands to concave as it matures.  Cactu found some of the active species in Nicaragua and verified its activity and said the trip was slightly different then from other species and it blurred his peripheral vision.

The spores made it home just fine.  The only thing the customs guy asked me is "Did you bring any food from Mexico with you?"

I decided that its a good idea to go through customs on a sunday night when no one wants to work a shift and everyone wants to travel.  The customs forms asked if I brought food, fruit, seeds, dirt, plant matter, etc but never mentioned spores.

I ordered a special eyepeice that has a micrometer in it.  Next time I will order from this company (PM me if you need the info) that sells inexpensive little plastic disks that add a micrometer to an existing eyepiece.

Ok I will see what I can find.

Here is some Russula brevipes.  These were really near some lobster mushrooms.  The Hypomyces likes to eat some of the Russulas but always leaves some.
