Been on the Psilocybe hunt for close to 30 years i think the first two years i occasionally got a lookalike so it is a concern, for the novice this is a great clip for experienced folks its a reminder regardless it is worth the watch.

Here in Florida we trip over psilocybe mushrooms... no pun intended. They grow like weeds there. I'm up in NC now and there plenty up here also. Just have to look outside the psilocybe species like Pholiota or Pluteus Americanus. Extremely common everywhere I go.

Thank you so much for this video. Appreciate your work :)

Thanks very much Caine, Nick, Simon, photography/other contributers and EGA. A wonderful and very important presentation 🍄❤️

Excellent presentation.

Thank you. you are so learned about your subject. Amazing.

Great video, thanks

thank you! nice sounds too. definitely got asmr from this video

I'm in the Central Coast NSW. Microdosed years ago when I owned a house with gold tops. Never felt so normal, so joyous in a subtle way. I am so frustrated in trying to find them again, I'm thinking of driving up to Nimbin hoping for street seller. Does anyone know, can I freeze some? Or do they lose their efficacy?

@@soulthriver-oz6470 You've probably already been told this by now, but just in case, you can store them in honey, in a jar. They'll last for ages like that :) . As for freezing, I have no idea whatsoever. Like you, I'm here looking for as much info as i can find. I've only ever bought them from or been given them ( been quite lucky there, they always seem to find me!) by other people. I thought it was about time I trained myself up on proper ID-ing of all the therapeutic shrooms ( and their potentially deadly lookalikes) so that I can feel more confident foraging for them myself, as like yourself, I had a really positive experience microdosing. I don't want to feel dependent on other people supplying me with them. Personally, I've found that ONE really meaningful mushroom trip ( approached with set intentions, etc) per year is also beneficial for mental health.

P-Alutacea found some of these in Auckland NZ in 2016 wasn't 100% sure what species they were then but they are here.

The photos at 8.19 are excellent. Perfect example of what they look like (in the parts of Australia you've mentioned). For me the wavy stem is one of the most unique identifiers of gold tops. That and the blue tinge as they bruise, as you've mentioned. Thanks for info about the gill colour changing from cream to brown with age. I didn't know that, and found a cream gilled one and was wondering why it wasn't more brown.

Thank you great video very informative and well presented

When the subaeruginosa dries out to the point of the cap being "white" it will always have a slight blue hue

My reason for wanting to know more was just curiosity as anomalies among some of the Blue turning fungi i have found are many & varied but i love the whole experience i don't even partake any more when & if i find i give away to friends many of whom have taken to microdosing the last few years. I will check Shroomery for a visual of Papuana just out of curiosity's sake. Again thank you for the Clip very well done.

Rather intrested in papuana and i know where it grow's locally just waiting for some good rains to hit!

I found (I think) some subs but they were so dry they were hard, so didn't bruise blue (couldn't bruise at all). Question is, are they still active when dry? Is that normal they don't bruise anymore, i.e. was I mistaking the type?

This is excellent but lacking the one answer I was looking for. Are there any of the **visual** lookalike species which both bruise blue AND are poisonous? I know some of the visual lookalikes are poisonous, but are they any of the ones that also bruise blue? Or are the visual lookalikes that bruise blue safe to mix in with a bag of genuine psilos in the case of a mistaken identification? Are the other poisonous varieties that bruise blue **visual** lookalikes or are they **visually** quite different? I'm trying to put this as clearly as possible but language is such a PITA. Shit should just be legal. Hate this country sometimes.

Poor Australia is very impoverished as far as number of _Psilocybe_ species. Especially compared to North America. There are places on the northern coastline of Oregon when one can find 5 species in a couple square km area -- _P. semilanceata,_ _P. peliculosa,_ _P. cyanescens,_ _P. azurescens,_ and _P. allenii._ One can probably find many more species than that in the same area, in parts of Mexico.
