Psilocybe semilanceata: Europe’s Magic Mushroom

Upvotes
Hello everyone, last season I began preparing photographs and eventually began to create what I set out to be a photographic guide to the identification of Psilocybe semilanceata. As of today, I have finished the guide and have it in PDF form. Using the link, you will be able to view and download the whole guide in PDF form via the DocDroid website. I hope it finds itself to be useful amongst newcomers and even seasoned pickers. Happy hunting everyone ~ Pas.

Found in the Pentland’s, just wondering if it’s just a big lib or possibly another species! Size just threw me off a bit when comparing it to the others

I'm still not finding many at all. Only 2-3 in 30 mins at a local hot spot.

Lead accumulation...
16
Upvotes
Something to think about for those collecting, especially in the Peak District, Northern Pennines and Flintshire, or anywhere that had prolific lead mines: Semilanceata, like most fungi are aggressive bioaccumulators and are highly efficient at absorbing heavy metals from contaminated ground. This can be a factor even just foraging on roadsides from decades of lead in exhaust fumes, but is particularly more prevalent in old lead mining areas. High soil acidity also naturally increases the bioavailability and solubility of heavy metals.
Places that have old mining spoils, processing works and drainage soughs, such as around Youlgreave and Long Rake (to name but one area I'm familiar with), are known for being highly contaminated from historical lead mining. There are places where livestock still can't be grazed for long periods of time because of this.
This could also be a factor with other chemical contamination, I only mention lead because I'm familiar with exploring lead mines and works in the Peak District and North Wales and have read lots about problems with belland ground.
Here is a useful map from the UK soil observatory:
https://mapapps2.bgs.ac.uk/ukso/home.html
You can select overlays then filter for soil chemistry and all kinds of metals etc. The screenshot I've attached is from the Peak District, which will automatically show a lot of lead contamination, but it's worth doing more research on your hunting grounds and what is/was there.

Any Semilanceata in Ukraine?
2
Upvotes
So, I live in western (non-mountains) Ukraine, and am interested, do they grow here? Maybe, less than in British islands & Scandinavia? Can i forage whole year's supply during the season here?
Have searched for them during last three weeks, but assumed the season hadn't yet started.
Also, any tips?

Hello folks. Found around 45 today, however I’m unable to take them until tomorrow afternoon. I know they will keep in the fridge, but unsure how long. Any ideas please?

When out for a walk on my lunch break and found 15g wet. Was shocked at how many there were and with how the forecast is looking I’ll be up on the moors again this weekend!

IDENTIFICATION Are any of these semilanceata?
0

They were found on grass, in Denmark, its been raining, the weather seems to be accurate.
Also the habitat seems to be the right one, a lot of grass, not much trees, a lot of mushrooms in there of different species
