New Psilocybe species (Psilocybe Meridianus)

I wanted to tell you all that the species of psilocybe that Alteredstates and I have found in the last year that was presumed to be psilocybe subaeruginascens, is not ps. subaeruginascens. It seems that it grows scleriota on agar mediums and also prefers conifers.
We will present a new name for the species by thursday, Nov 6.

CureCat said: Subbed, who is working on this?
Nightflyer sent me the message and a picture of auweias kind on agar and my own comparatively telling me the differences. Now I know it may not be the king of mushrooms whom told me to name this species but I was told Its my discovery and I should.
IF anyone else has done the taxonomy or any research on this species, please present it forward.

I would love for you to sequence this mushroom curecat, I dont remember if I have sent you a sample or not but if you need some please message me.
If anyone is willing and capable of helping me finalize and get this species published please message me.
These are not cyans, nor the suspected ps. subaeruginascens.
There are several distinguishing characteristics of this mushrooms.
-Long season (Late April-October -Warm weather species -Prefers conifers such as douglas fir. But also enjoys eucalyptus and hay. -Forms Scleriota in agar. (Only woodloving species I know of that does...) -Is moderate-high in potency. Comparative to cubensis or stronger. -Has an annulus on the stem, veils in early stages of primordia -Very light cinnamon color. rarely dark even during pinning. -Blues down to nearly the hyphal level. -The spore color of ps subaeruginascens is much darker of a purple than this species. (which is a light purple)

Well, they are quite strong. I have yet to take a whole 8th but one gram does me good for 5 hours. Alteredstates took an 8th and was so scared of the coming anxiety and the force of the trip that he made himself vomit in my backyard.
Workman- I will try my best to perform some microscopy on them. My microscope should work.
Curecat- Of course I would love to come back up this winter! I plan on it for that weekend. I will try and see if Alteredstates can go also, he really is intent on it also after hearing my crazy time.

Yes, Southern California. Three separate patches have been found. They were all within 20 miles of one another.

Alteredstates and I within the next several hours will present the name. It will be latin. We are cooking new agar for dishes as we speak and will be working on it all through the night.

Ok.
Alteredstates and I have decided for the moment on
"Psilocybe Meridianus"
Which means "Southern" and "of the noon". Cuz its always sunny here.

This one is from the second patch. The annuli are quite visible and the gills are basically the same. Just slightly more mature fruits than the ones at patch 1. I believe it is merely the phenotype that makes it more distinct.
I will work on some microscopy today or tomorrow to find differences in the cytsidia. I think that will help a lot.

Like I said previously, Pic #1 is of a very young specimen growing about 20 miles inland and the second is of mature specimens a couple hundred feet from the ocean.
Every characteristic is the same. I have seen the traits match up except the attached and unattached gills which seems to be common with psilocybes according to Inski within certain species. I hope we can now bury the idea that these are two different species and agree that they are one and the same.

Alteredstates and I did some brainstorming last night. We will continue to find another name that will suit the mushroom. Embody its personalty!

Hello everyone, I apologize for digging up these old threads, but I would like to acknowledge Alteredstates and my own findings of this supposed species to actually be Psilocybe Ovoideocystidiata. I just want to confirm it, and I was not sure if everyone was aware of this update. Thanks to Alan Rockefeller for analyzing our samples.
-thank you, and apologies- Subbedhunter420
p.s. I have a wikipedia article about myself now. haha http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Subbedhunter420
