Re: New Psilocybe species [Re: asdf512tx]

there is something that is bothering me about the original find and the second find.

the gills in the first find are going upward, but then almost sharply reverse and go downward as they get closer to the stalk. the ones in the second find are attached but not quite the same. it could just be a different phenotype, im not sure.

first find








also note the annuli from the villa (first find). they are far more distinct, appearing on almost every mushroom and they are all blueing. almost the opposite is true for the second find, the annuli are far less apparent and only a few are blueing. the blueing could simply be a difference in potency, but the difference in the amount of annuli i belive was pretty consistent.



second find

note gills, and less distinct annuli.






the gills could also just stretch out as the mushroom matures. Subbedhunter, do you have any shots of younger gills from the second find?

regardless, i think there is a lot more work to be done.

    #9679618 - 01/25/09 09:32 PM (15 years, 5 days ago)

Description of wood-loving Southern California Psilocybe species
Probably section Stuntzae

Cap
-2-8cm broad
-Mostly convex, often becoming broadly umbonate or uplifted with age. Sometimes wavy. Rarely plane.
-Smooth surface. May be somewhat viscid and translucent when wet.
-Color varies: typically dark when young (brownish), but may also be light (dull yellow/orange/brown). With age the color fades and is typically a light yellowish brown(?) (sometimes almost to a cream), often retaining a darker brownish margin. pallid.
-Sometimes staining blue or blue-green.

Gills
-Adnate.
-Light, pallid, becoming yellow-brownish.
-Close to crowded.

Stalk
-3-6cm long
-4-8mm thick
-Most often equal or tapering upward, sometimes tapering down.
-White to very light brown.
-Often staining blue.
-Annulus present, often completely blue.

Spores
-Light purple.

On agar
-Blues almost down to the hyphal level.
-Forms scleriota.

Habitat
-Southern California- So far it has been found in Ventura and Los Angeles Counties.
-This is a warm weather species. I have found it fruiting from 70 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit.
-It likes a wide range of wood (alder, conifer, eucalyptus, and several other types I have given it).
-Fruits in wood chip beds, mostly near/under plant or bush.
-It is Gregarious, often densely clustered.
-Its season is fairly long, from 4 to 6 months (April- late September/early October).

Note color


Note beauty :grin:


note lighter color


note viscidity


note annulus


note abnormally light pins




There has been no proper microscopy on this species yet.
The following are some pictures from Alan Rockefeller.
Alan, if you have measurements on the spores, Cheilocystidia, and Pleurocystidia, I would definitely like to know.

Spores


Cheilocystidia


Pleurocystidia


Please let me know what else I should put into the description.

I see, in that case, I have a lot more work to do. Thanks a bunch for the advice.
