Trust me I know... And unsure if sometimes if you ever come back from them 😂

Fun times

you never come back, i'm still out there :D

idk why you'd ever want to come back

I definitely wouldn’t eat a whole mushroom when it’s that big lolol

Just dry it up powder it down and have a nice glass of tea

i once picked a psilocybe that was as big as a bread plate, like easily 7" wide

it was weak as piss

might have been luck but i think that size doesn't mean very much with mushrooms unless you factor in the water level

that's why mckenna always said "5 dried grams" because especially with cubensis the actual volume can vary a lot, and this is a variety of cube

Size does not mean potency

it was pretty awesome... iirc on that hunt i also saw death caps of similar dimensions

some freakish local phenomenon or just sheer sogginess (was in byron bay iirc)

wait

blue meanies have a spheroid cap that is not so smooth and the species used to be called "panaolus cyanescens" it's not a cubensis nor is it really a psilocybe though some have decided to name it that way - it's cap is not smooth and golden and shiny like psilocybes (eg aucklandii, eg ... i forget the name of the one that grows on eucalypts in southern australia)

the blue meanie doesn't have such a distinct skirt, sometimes absent, and though they do get a little bit of a golden tint and the golden sheen they are generally blueish and are way more potent

anyway

i need to have blue meanies then, since that's what is available

gonna start my planz

It is true. Blue meanies are kinda weird they are Pan Cyans, but it is also a variety of Cubensis. And to make it even more complicated the picture was Psilocybe Cyanenensis which is a wood loving mushroom!

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
