Nice! I really like the Panus neostrigosus.


Is that a Gomphus sp. in your tackle box, upper right corner..?

Post Extras:


The mushroom stuffed into the upper right corner of my tackle box is a large Panus neostrigosus.


Post Extras:


wow, looks like a diverse group of fungi you found. I can't tell which are your favorites

im gonna guess Panus neostrigosus and Psilocybe mexicana?


Post Extras:


Awesome pictures, thanks for sharing! I love how exotic and alien some of these mushrooms appear.

Are you gonna eat any of those? I would like to see a full on trip report inspired by some mexicana.

Or a report from any exotic Psilocybe would be interesting.


Have fun.

How closely related are P. mexicana and P. semilanceata? They look strikingly similar in many respects. Maybe this is an old question but just looking at those pics it occurred to a fool like me. And I'm sure our mycologists have a good detailed answer there...


Beautiful shots BTW. I love seeing the variety in parts of he world that I have not yet visited.

Fantastic. I just watched one of your presentations on the mushrooms of Mexico.


I also happen to be in the DF right now. I'm considering hitting up one of the parques here to do some hunting of my own. Any suggestion on one of the many parks to visit? I was considering heading over to Cumbres del Ajusco tomorrow.


Great pictures! Best of luck on the hunt.

No, I am going to save them for microscopy and DNA analysis. There were only three of them.

They are very far apart. P. mexicana is over by P. caerulescens, and P. semilanceata is over hy P. hispanica and P. fasciata.
