yeah, they are definitely a different species the ones i know from australia... they have ridges around the caps and similar shape as coprinus, i know of several coprinus species one of them notably basically melts and turns black in the sun and has a very viscid, transparent, glossy appearance

i am now once again in a temperate zone and although i think there could be at least cubensis varieties here the land is entirely unsuitable for herds of cattle, it's brutally steep most places... people raise one bull here and there but that's it... i think something like mexicana would grow ok here outdoors

Here is a Tampanensis, which is a type of Mexicana I just grew

these grow on wood right? what kinds of media are required? i live on an island that is named literally "wood" and there's all kinds, pines, laurels, eucalypts, acacia, oak, ash, etc etc... actually it's smack in the middle of the same latitudes as mexico

definitely interested in getting into cultivating a wood lover

been way too long since i grew anything

This grew on a manure and coco coir substrate
