The spores are dark purplish-brown en masse, ellipsoid in shape, and measure 10.5–15 by 6.5–8.5 micrometres. The mushroom grows in grassland habitats, especially wetter areas. But unlike P. cubensis, the fungus does not grow directly on dung; rather, it is a saprobic species that feeds off decaying grass roots.
Spores are thick-walled with an apical pore, and elongated ellipsoid to equilateral in face view, and somewhat inequilateral in side view, typically measuring 12.0–12.6–13.1 by 6.8–7.1–7.4 μm. The basidia (spore-bearing cells) are cylindrical, four-spored with sterigmata up to 5.5 μm long, and have dimensions of 27–37 by 9–11 μm.
A printable chart to make a spore print and start identification. The spore print is the powdery deposit obtained by allowing spores of a fungal fruit body to fall onto a surface underneath. It is an important diagnostic character in most handbooks for identifying mushrooms. It shows the colour of the mushroom spores if viewed en masse. [1]
The spores are elliptical and measure about 22–55 μm by 20–35 μm. [3] They are dark brown and covered with large spikes. In the Northern Hemisphere, the fruiting bodies develop from April to June and are harvested from November to March.
The cheilocystidia are 20–30(40) x 4.5–6(9) μm and fusiod with a narrow neck. [7] This species closely resembles subtropical Psilocybe aztecorum and Psilocybe quebecensis, which also have caps that bleach in color to white when dry. [6] Psilocybe baeocystis spores 1000x
After approximately one month, the spores fully colonize the grain spawn forming dense mycelium, which is then planted within a substrate such as a coconut husk fiber and vermiculite mixture. [20] Given proper humidity, temperature, and fresh air exchange, the substrate will produce fruiting Psilocybe cubensis bodies within a month of planting ...
This species has gills that are white to pale yellow, a white spore print, and spores that are elliptical, smooth, and measure 6.5–9 by 2.5–4 μm. [25] A rough resemblance has also been noted with the edible Hypholoma capnoides , [ 13 ] the 'magic' mushroom Psilocybe subaeruginosa , as well as Conocybe filaris , another poisonous amatoxin ...
Galerina is a genus of small brown-spore saprobic mushroom-bearing fungi, with over 300 species found throughout the world from the far north to remote Macquarie Island in the Southern Ocean. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The genus is most noted for some extremely poisonous species which are occasionally confused with hallucinogenic species of Psilocybe .
