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]
Psilocybe baeocystis is a psilocybin mushroom of the family Hymenogastraceae. It contains the hallucinogenic compounds psilocybin , psilocin and baeocystin . The species is commonly known by various names such as bottle caps, knobby tops, blue bells, olive caps.
Psilocybe cubensis, commonly known as the magic mushroom, shroom, golden halo, golden teacher, cube, or gold cap, is a species of psilocybin mushroom of moderate potency whose principal active compounds are psilocybin and psilocin. It belongs to the fungus family Hymenogastraceae and was previously known as Stropharia cubensis. It is the best ...
The free gills are white, as is the spore print. The oval spores measure 9–13 by 6.5–9 μm ; they do not turn blue with the application of iodine . [ 29 ] The stipe is white, 5–20 cm (2–8 in) high [ 30 ] by 1–2 cm ( 1 ⁄ 2 –1 in) wide, and has the slightly brittle, fibrous texture typical of many large mushrooms.
Psilocybe azurescens is a species of psychedelic mushroom whose main active compounds are psilocybin and psilocin.It is among the most potent of the tryptamine-bearing mushrooms, containing up to 1.8% psilocybin, 0.5% psilocin, and 0.4% baeocystin by dry weight, averaging to about 1.1% psilocybin and 0.15% psilocin.
Recreational doses of psilocybin mushrooms are typically between 1.0 to 3.5–5.0 g of dry mushrooms and 10 to 50 g of fresh mushrooms. [ 48 ] [ 51 ] This corresponds to a dosage of psilocybin of about 10 to 50 mg. [ 51 ] Usual doses of the common species P. cubensis range around 1.0 to 2.5 g, while about 2.5 to 5.0 g dried mushroom material is ...
Spore print color: blackish-brown to lilac-brown in Psilocybe, light brown to rusty brown in Galerina. Spore color can be seen by taking a spore print or by looking for evidence of spore drop on the stipe or on surrounding mushrooms. Staining reaction: Psilocybin Psilocybe fruiting bodies stain blue to varying degrees when bruised, while ...
The pores are initially whitish, later yellow. The spore print is olive brown, the spores are elliptical to spindle-shaped and 13–15 x 4–5 μm in dimensions. The stout stipe is white with a brown reticulated pattern, and may be 6–20 cm (2 + 1 ⁄ 2 –8 in) high with an apical diameter of 2–6 cm (1–2 in). [3]
