- Symon was previously a senior psychiatric registrar and research assistant investigating the use of ketamine for depression. He is passionate about fungi of all kinds and runs educational events teaching mushroom identification. Symon discusses psilocybe mushrooms of Australia. He goes into details on how to identify various psilocybe species using habitat, climate, and morphology and helps distinguish psilocybe mushrooms from other common look-a-likes.
Simon adds:
* "One thing I say in this that has now been better elucidated relates to the blue bruising. It is from the breakdown of psilocin but this process is enzymatic rather than environmental.
Bruising on Panaeolus Cyanescens can vary quite substantially."
*P. Subaeruginosa occur in NZ.
*The 26 species listed probably includes some synonymous mis-identifications"
Where can i get dna testing done in Australia?
36.18 I thought that psilocybe azurescens was the strongest known in terms of psychoactive compound concentration.
@@CheckOutBushy maybe contact MCYOmmunity (who were partners in Melbourne's recent Mushroom day events); myco.org.au/
One of the slides said that there's a wide variety of psilocybin-containing mushrooms in Australia. Compared to where? The Arctic? :-)
Definitely not compared to North America. Or South America. Or Asia. And I think Europe has more species.
_Ps. cyanescens_ is not the most potent _Psilocybe_ --- that would be _Ps. azurescens._ So _Ps. subaeruginosa_ is at best the 3rd most potent.
What a comprehensive and detailed guide! Thanks for sharing :)
You're very welcome!
This was a beauty. Such great important content. Go Simon and APS!!
Such a guru!! Thanks for your expertise Symon!! ❤
Cheers this is honestly the most useful video ive found
Can tell you’re very experienced Simon, thanks for taking time out of your day to do this. I learnt a lot! Very keen to go hunting.
Thank you very much for this video

Crazy! I've been out picking Amanita Muscaria cos that's all I can ID.
Greatly appreciate talk
Cheers mate good video
Very informative,thanks mate
Good video mate
Great video Simon thankyou, can you provide any information an the strength of the psilocybin in the different mushrooms and their stage of growth. Cheers 😀
Bravo Fantastic lecture !
Good stuff Symon
Thank you!!!
Just found the channel & watched the video. Thankyou for sharing.
What are some good websites that record what species people have found in certain locations?
Thankyou :)
Botanic Gardens in Orange NSW chock full of
13:28 subaeruginosa do have hollow stems, im surprised Symon got this wrong. unless he's talking about something else.
Really? Where abouts are you located I'm around south east melb never ran into any even remotely hollow stems
@@giuliogreco1728 north tassie, only way I can think of is that bugs have chewed their way up and down the stem to make them hollow in ones I've found. I've also found some that don't have hollow stems too.
If you want a laugh, turn on the sibtitles
If it's got a tall (12cm) thin (5mm) woody fibrous strong white stem, golden brown top with nipple (7cm wide), brown purple gills, hard to pull out of ground, no remnant for the veil/annulus, some mild hardly visible corregation down stem, after picking the gills can become somewhat visible through from top of cap on edges, found in riparian wet schlerophil gippsland forest in winter, correct spore print but will not bruise blue instead it bruises a jet black with zero bluing . It is not a Sub right or is it?
The distinct lack of bluing concerns me.
Where is the right forum for Victorians to send some pics for id?
Also, a good rule...
If in doubt, chuck it out
Great video Simon where can we get the slides
That was good
Hey guys great video. Is there anyway to contact Simon to ask some questions. Cheers
Subeariginosa can be extremely potent, so remember the importance of set and setting, it can make a huge difference to your experience.....have a good trip.
I did a spore print today. It is blue but the stalk doesn’t bruise blue.
a spore print is generally dark purple/almost black ..very different to the blue staining visible on the fruiting body itself
Ignore that post just heard it in your
Anyone in Sydney's west want to take me out for a lesson in identifying?
what happens if you put a poisonous mushroom into a big bag of ones you want? does that make your bag bad and you need to throw it away??
What are some Fb groups about this for Victoria?
Pmanz
can I come mushroom hunting with you?
Seriously.Can I come too?
Cyanescens grows on wood not dung.
there are both Panaelus Cyanescens that grow on dung and Psilocybe Cyanescens that grow on wood (the word simply means 'becoming dark blue').
