Specimen notes
Public Note:
primordia oxidising psilocybin blue. With weak ring remnant. Taste mild. Pleurocystdia present. In Hesler keys to punctifolius but spores too big. Other possibilities are luteoviridis. dried cap 5b6 5ch. Pleurocystidia not seen. Spores coarsely warted, dextrinoid, length=9.2–10.3µm (µ=9.6, σ=0.31), width=5.5–6.5µm (µ=6.0, σ=0.26), Q=1.4–1.7µm (µ=1.59, σ=0.08), n=20. I thought this was G. cyanopalmicola but a sequence in GenBank is different. This appears to be close to sequences labeled G. igniculus and close to a collection from Au, but also recent sequences of one groups of G. purpureosquamulosus. ITS alone is insufficient for this group.
