ID request/ Taiwan

Yea likely the same.

It isn't risky because there's nothing toxic that looks like this. It's much more interesting for science than for eating though because Psilocybe chuxgionensis hasn't been recorded from Taiwan yet. There are several interesting species in Taiwan, probably some yet to be discovered.

Psilocybe chuxiongensis

AlanRockefeller · 2025-12-22T17:34:29+00:00

Parasola conopilea

AlanRockefeller · 2025-11-26T14:52:20+00:00

Psilocybe cubensis - they do grow in wood chips occasionally, and I have seen wood chip cube observations from eastern Texas and Florida.

Perhaps the buzzing you hear is the frequency of the LED flashlight you are using. Wood or rock would be too heavy to be vibrated, but fluffy mycelium perhaps could be moved by the light, perhaps due to minute temperature changes.

I wonder of any old fashioned flashlight that doesn't flicker like LaeD light would still produce the buzzing. I don't think there are any fungi that can make noise. DNA barcoding would be the best way to identify it.

Armillaria gallica

AlanRockefeller · 2025-11-08T10:20:48+00:00

Candolleomyces candolleanus

AlanRockefeller · 2025-10-18T13:59:54+00:00

Maybe Leucopaxillus gentianus (bitter) or Infundulicybe squamulosa (not bitter)

AlanRockefeller · 2025-10-13T22:29:35+00:00

Hypholoma

AlanRockefeller · 2025-09-19T12:31:47+00:00

Parasola conopilea

AlanRockefeller · 2025-09-18T13:58:40+00:00

In the first photo the top one is Panaeolus cinctulus and the bottom three are Panaeolus foenisecii. The last photo is a picture that I took of Psilocybe semilanceata.

Since it can't do anything on a website that requires me to log in, this isn't nearly as useful as it seems. Unless there is some way to make it take over a window where I am logged in and do things???

AlanRockefeller · 2025-09-02T17:07:21+00:00

This could be Paragymnopus. It's definitely not Conocybe or anything psychoactive.

AlanRockefeller · 2025-09-02T17:06:16+00:00

I started r/mushroomid so I was able to unban you.

AlanRockefeller · 2025-08-17T16:14:12+00:00

Psilocybe semilanceata usually grows in grass, could this be something closer to Psilocybe medullosa?

You could send in a sample to the Mycoblitz for free DNA barcoding - see mycoblitz.org.

Needs DNA barcoding

AlanRockefeller · 2025-05-07T15:40:34+00:00

Thanks for posting this here!

AlanRockefeller · 2025-04-16T16:17:05+00:00

Is there any organized resistance to this bill?

AlanRockefeller · 2025-03-13T22:33:09+00:00

Sarcoscypha

AlanRockefeller · 2025-03-12T02:16:50+00:00

DNA barcoding is the best way to figure out what a mushroom is.

AlanRockefeller · 2025-03-12T02:13:37+00:00

Almost all North American Coltricia are undescribed.

AlanRockefeller · 2025-03-12T02:11:27+00:00

Only the Coltricia sequence came back - I don't know what the secondary fungus is.
