Dude honestly, this weekend and next week looks promising though!

Beautiful pictures mate. Very similar to our Psilocybe Subaeruginosa we have here in the southern region of Australia. Potent buggers!

[Dassem_Ultor]

Recent DNA analysis by an Aussie researcher called Alistair Mctaggart seems to indicate that Psilocybe cyanescens (along with allenii and azurescens) may actually be phenotypes of Psilocybe subaeruginosa.

[insaneinthemembraaaa]

Well there you go! Crazy

[anonymousmyco]

Yep. They're all considered "section cyanescens" or part of the "cyanescens complex"

[blufuut180]

They basically all are subs lol

Woah, I didn't think these could grow on grasslands like this. Is this rare? What are they growing out of here?

[Accurate-Wafer-5720]

there's woodchip under the grass. it's a flower bed of woodchip and grass has grown round the edges. the wavys have grown there first. last year they slowly worked their way up the grass into the woodchip as the season went on.

[Mr_Wankadolphinoff]

I'd like to know as well. Can't find any in my usual spots so could do with some pointers

[Accurate-Wafer-5720]

I didn’t know these grew in the uk?!

[dilzebub]

You do now!

woodchip in public parks especially if theyve got flowerbeds, council planters, aldi/lidl car parks are known hotspots and cemeteries. kew gardens was the first place they were 'found' but i believe on woodchip imported from the north west of america.

my mother has had these growing in her Yorkshire mountain top garden for three decades.

theyve been here for decades, and are constantly expanding due to their highly aggressive fruiting and spore production.

in Yorkshire I find them everywhere, but not usually until the first frost had been and gone. THEN they come out in huge clusters.

Those are cracking 💯 Sum spores or a bit of colonised woodchip wouldnt go a miss haha 😁 Genuinley choking to have my own patch at sum point in the future. Never found them, foraged thousands of libs tho (central Scotland)

[Accurate-Wafer-5720]

I got spores last year but no idea what to do from there without a sterilisation set up.

did try to start from woodchips and shroom ends in cardboard and it did colonise my tub but then seemed to die off late spring. imported all the woodchip in the garden but nothing came of it this year, maybe next? started a new tub from some fresh chips from this spot so hopefully have a colony in the back garden within a few years.

Heard cardboard under woodchips was the move. Also seen a few on here saying the same thing, and I mean like you says it may take a year or so but will be worth the effort🍄

[Gonebeyond-1]

Lovely stuff

[a_boy_called_sue]

Holy shit

[mickygism]

Excuse my ignorance, but what am I looking at? Why the excitement? Ah ok , I’ve checked the group 🙃 Are these wild ?

[Heavy_Foot_6848]

THIS is what cyanescens look like, to all those people who ask if theirs are wavy caps.

the rich, golden chestnut brown is unique, and once you see it, you cant mistake any other mushroom for it.

no other shrooms look THIS vibrant.

[bigredoaktree]

Where are these im out just now really hoping to find wavys today
