New research has shown that Psilocybe cyanescens is conspecific with Psilocybe subaeruginosa, they are essentially the same species. Psilocybe cyanescens was introduced to the UK and the US most probably by shipment of live plants from Australia.
I found a load of big wavy caps in my raised beds made from tree trunks today , obviously mature because they are quite big around 4cm across and very wet so a chestnut brown , i'm doing a spore print but they're so dirty i'm not sure that'll confirm for me , the stems do look inky since i picked them and the cap rim is darker than the cap they're slimy and sticky and the stem is club like , is there anything that similar to them that it could be something else ? , i found another that is more of an orange colour but it was protected from the rain ,looks the part but is smaller and the stem scratched more ginger than blue , are 2 types likely in the same space ? will drying the big ones give me more clues ?
Without pictures it would be hard to determine what mushrooms you have. Wavy caps do not tend to go inky. The stems and caps tend to turn a bluish purple to almost black colour as they age. You need to be careful as they do have some similar looking mushrooms that can cause illness and in some cases death so be careful.
We didn't find any Amenita. We usually start to see the cyans a little later than libs. When the temps really drop at the beginning of October and yes they like lots of rain :)
Help please. I think I picked these up? But not sure. Similar look, brown and wavy with white stems. However afterwards the stem starts to become brown/grey. Gills are brown? Is this correct? Or a different mushroom. Thank you
We could not possibly entertain trying to idenditify any mushroom without seeing either the mushroom or images of them. If you have a facebook account there are plenty of groups dedicated to identify these and other mushrooms. Or if you have images you can email them to us and we will have a look :)
@@WelshLibertyLovers Thank you so much for replying! I have found out that the stems were too brittle for them to be wavy caps! Facebook is a great community indeed 😊 Happy foraging! :) 🍄
Again you can but it is difficult to do. And there are more suitable psilocybes for indoor mycology :) Liberty Caps like unploughed grazed areas fruiting during Autumn.
Well there most certainly would be more suitable ones lol but im jot exactly spoilt for choice aye 😅 gota find whats around me and there is zero videos of norwegian mushies
@@fruitsandflowersnorway620 There is a Facebook group dedicated to foraging Liberty Caps in Norway if you are on that platform. facebook.com/groups/112052657828 or you could look into cultivating cubensis which is good fun :)
Hey cheers ! Well i havnt used fb in years no.. i did send an email to a foraging group in the town i live in but never got a reply. I will check out cultivating cubenses see what interesting bits i can find
Potentially any established wood chip/mulch beds could have them. They are not particlular to Wales. Budget supermarket flower beds have proved good grounds :) Good luck.

@@WelshLibertyLovers Hi thanks for the reply, they did go inky and i went to outta space on 2.8g 😉
@@auntiemandy5638 Well you can not fault that :)
I live in Wales! Reckon it's possible to find em after that rain? I reckon a couple weeks yet? Did find a ton of amaneta last year and libs course ;)

It's been a dry summer I hope we get a nice wet autumn this year.
We have had very unsettled weather which will hopefully continue :)
@@WelshLibertyLovers yeah my friend In Devon said it's raining alot.
Was a bit scared by the dry summer but the wavy's are here🚀✨🎆
Yesterday was the first real rain.
I'm excited!
Great video, do you know anywhere I can get a spore print? Not been able to find any around Bristol area.
We dont have any at the moment but that will change shortly and am sure we can sort something out for you :)
Thank you
Ben email your address to us. Email should be on the about page.

@@iamtheone3600 You too. Have a great Autumn.
@@WelshLibertyLovers Thank you! :)
Hey when it comes to indoor mushroom growing are these good? And do you know how liberty caps are to grow?
Again you can but it is difficult to do. And there are more suitable psilocybes for indoor mycology :) Liberty Caps like unploughed grazed areas fruiting during Autumn.

Where's the best place in Wales to find them this is my first year looking
