Macroscopic feat.:
Microscopic feat.:
Habitat: Gregarious to cespitose, sometimes scattered in red clay soil topped with a thin layer of needles from loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) underneath sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua). First reported from southeastern Cherokee County, in northern Georgia, after hurricane Opal swept through in 1995. Fruiting from early September through November, between temperatures of 45°-80°F, preferring 60°C-75°. Comment: 0.61% psilocybin, 0.27% psilocin, 0.05% baeocystin, and 0.32% tryptophan. This is the first report of a lignicolous, caerulescent Psilocybe from Georgia. The association with pine needles, along an interface ecosystem (just beyond the edge of an eight-year-old yard lined with shrubs, and in red-clay soils), are habits typical of many other Psilocybes. Additionally, the strong bluing reaction and its tendency to form clusters are characteristics also shared with Psilocybe caerulescens, Psilocybe baeocystis, Psilocybe aztecorum and Psilocybe heliconia. The name Psilocybe weilii is being reserved as a provisional name (nom. prov.) until the name is published in a mycological journal. (Guzmán, Tapia, and Stamets 1996). The name honors Andrew Weil and his role in promoting the beneficial properties of mushrooms. source - Paul Stamets "Psilocybin Mushrooms of the World" Pictures at www.mushroomobserver.org |
