Psilocybe guilartensis

[BlimeyGrimey]

Here's a picture of a Psilocybe guilartensis that i found in the rainforest in Puerto Rico a few months ago. It has been confirmed under a microscope.

I looked it up on wikipedia because I had never heard of that particulair species, and gues what?
I got the exact same picture that you posted here.
Did you add the picture to wikipedia?
What a coincidence

My fellow mycologist, Alan Rockefeller put that page up. He puts up quite a bit of the Psilocybe species on wikipedia. A friend posted the picture of the guilartensis on the mushroomobserver site and he used the picture for the wiki page.

If you think I'm bullshitting check this page out.

The mycologist for that site made a microscopy page for it and the features matches up with the documentation of that species. You can find the documentation by searching on google for "psilcoybes caribbean".

The guy who made the microscopy pic id's mushrooms for a living and he was sent the sample from the picture. Notice at the bottom where it says "BlimeyGrimey" collection. BlimeyGrimey is the name I use for my OMC (online mushroom community blah!) accounts.

Also go to google and type in "psilocybe guilartensis", then go to the 3rd page on the list. That should clear up some questions. If only you would have scrolled down a few pages instead of going to the first page and assuming I was full of shit.

here's another pic you wont find on wikipedia.

Who says I'm assuming you are full of shit? You misunderstood what I wrote. I really found it a coincidence that that picture came up when I looked it up. I never said I didn't believe what you said my fellow psychonaut :wink:

Peace

Sorry but the statement by HeartCore made me think you thought I was full of it.

Anyways enough with the misunderstandings. Here's a neat fact, I found this in March when the known season for them is late summer.

hello Blimeygrimey.
i posted a thread (P. sem or something else) a couple of months ago.
in it i mentioned finding P. sem mushrooms in scotland which were somewhat different from the norm. unfortunately my microscope is not powerfull enough to get a good look at the spores. after following your above link i found something very similar- P.sem, pacific blue. In my thread i described the shrooms i found as having a lot of blue, even pristine specimines, and being much less pointed than the norm for liberty caps. they look just like pacific blue.
are they worth further investigation with a view to describing and cataloguing?
also they seem to be assosiated with cows, not the usual sheep in this area. they are also growing in lime rich soil (lime rich sandstone bedrock) as oposed to the usual acid conditions in N. scotland.
(im not sugesting they are pacific blue)
they are far more psychoactive than any ive found so far.

i would like to hear the thoughts of a trained mycologist on this

There have been many collections of semi's that resemble the Pacific Blue phenotype. They are rare however. there is also an orange phenotype that has an orange stem and cap and gills. If you'd like your specimens looked at then dry a few mushrooms and take some pics of them while growing if possible and contact me in a PM. I'll guide you through the steps to get a hold of the mycologist at sporeworks so you can send him a sample for microscopy. If he finds it interesting enough he will attempt cultivation. He is currently attempting cultivation of the guilartensis.

He's done 4 composites for me. Psilocybe guilartensis, Psilocybe cyanescens, Psilocybe stuntzii and an unknown Psilocybe from Washington.

I've also sent him a sample of Panaeolus subbalteatus and an unknown Panaeolopsis I found in Washington.

will do blimeygrimey.
it be a couple of months before they come up again and ive run out of dried specimines. but ill pm you whan they reapear.
:thumbsup:
