- A brief overview of Australian Psilocybe and active allied species

This short talk, by fungi educator Caine Barlow, briefly describes the four main species of Psilocybe found in Australia and New Zealand, including one main Psilocybe ally. Many fungi have lookalike species that can be easily confused. Knowing the features, expected habitats, and potential lookalikes can help reduce the risks of potentially picking the wrong species.
Bio - Caine Barlow
Caine Barlow is a Fungi Educator and Mycologist based in Melbourne, Australia. He gives regular talks on mycology, fungi conservation, and teaches gourmet mushroom cultivation. He works closely with the Australian organisations Entheogenesis Australis, the Australian Psychedelic Society, and is a co-founder of US-based organisation The Entheome Foundation. Caine started foraging mushrooms in the early 1990’s, and started cultivating gourmet fungi in the mid 2000’s. He did his Master of Science at the University of Melbourne where his research project was based around Conservation Mycology. He has written for Entheogenesis Australis, DoubleBlind, ThirdWave, MicroDose, and Healing Maps. Caine is currently working on a book project, expected to be released mid-2023! In addition to fungi, he has had a long-term interest in ethnobotany, ethnobotanical literature, and growing medicinal plants. Caine posts regularly on his Instagram @guerrillamycology.

We're immensely grateful for your support of our botanical initiative.

Many thanks. Would it be possible for you to do a very detailed comparison between P.sub and the deadly gallerina lookalikes, ideally including a side by side spore print comparison? I feel such a presentation would be a very important resource to minimize risk of potentially fatal errors. Thanks again.
Gary, this should cover what you looking for

Oh! Thanks so much for the quick response and other resources👍
A good suggestion and something to consider. perhaps an idea for follow up EGA resources.
New Zealand is especially interesting, regarding section cyanescens/subaeruginosa species. There seems to be multiple recently evolved morphs or even distinct species, and quite possibly some hybridization between _Ps. subaeruginosa_ and _Ps. weraroa,_ in the case of the so-called _Psilocybe subsecotioides._ ... Ans I believe _Ps. cyanescens_ even shows up in New Zealand.
_Ps. alutacea_ is also common now in New Zealand, frequently in potted plants.
Thank you
Awesome. Thanks from New Zealand.
Most informative presentation, many thanks 🙏🏻
Kindly reach out to @Coorsmikey_spores Instagram or telegram. He got shrooms, spores and kit
Fantastic video, very informative. Cubensis and blue meanies are where my experience began up here in CQ.
how were the blues mate?
Interesting presentation. Cheers
Thank you, very informative.

Superb video.
Awesome
Very informative
great video, thanks for sharing your knowledge. Does Alutacea only grow in dung? Or can it grow in Wet Sclerophyll or dirt (may be dead grass near spinifex).
Most finds are found growing in dung, but it would be interesting to know if it grows out rich soil, containing remains of dung. something to investigate.

I have to eat them to find out info is close to super imperfect
5 degrees in Queensland?
Excellent! Is the blue bruising on P. Semilanceata typically faint? Either that or we have a lookalike here in Mid-north Coast NSW.
Yes it is typically faint. I would be interested to see photos of your "lookalike". P. semilanceata is fairly distinctive, so generally easy to identify. doubleblindmag.com/liberty-caps/ if you are after more info

Yes. If bruising is detectable, it's usually rather faint. On some _P. semilanceata_ fruits you won't be able to detect any bruising at all.
And yet _P. semilanceata_ generally has higher psilocybin content than _P. cubensis._ -- possibly because it has very low psilocin content, and psilocin is closer in the reaction to the blue compounds than psilocybin is. Or possibly the only slight bluing is because it is low in some enzyme that's required in the bluing reaction.
why send us to a website that is then password protected 🤨?
🙌🏼
Do the lookalikes bruise blue like psilocybe?
No.
However, not every mushroom that bruises blue contains psilocybin or psilocin. There are mushroom species that will show some bluing reaction that doesn't have anything to do with psilocybin. These blues are different, though, and they generally don't persist after the mushroom has been dehydrated, unlike psilocybin/psilocin-containing mushroom. Psilocybe mushrooms that have bruised blue will remain blue after drying.
But these mushrooms aren't look-alikes -- unless one has bad vision, or zero familiarity with the _Psilocybe_ genus, or with active _Panaeolus_
Nothing in perth?
i know, i want to know this too... seems like there is only one town down south that has them : (
🏆🏆👹
Is it too political to make an app to identify these rooms ??? we have many apps for other flora why not rooms .. to save people from danger !!!
