> nice find will they fuck you up?
Yes, according to a quantitative analysis by Gartz.
Here is a Psilocybe villarrealii habitat shot. The location was about 50 meters by 100 meters and is on a subterranean stream which provides lots of water all the time. You can also see Cactu and his trusty styrofoam mushroom basket.

This is some Psilocybe villarrealii mycelium growing on a natural petri dish.

The next several pictures are Psilocybe villarrealii.

Thank you very much.

Is 1024x768 good enough, or would you prefer a higher resolution? The pictures were taken at 3600x2700.

Here is a picture of the spores.

I may as well contribute a Scanning Electon Microscopy Micrograph image to this thread of P. villarrealii taken by my colleague for our paper on this species which we are writing with Gartz, Cactu and Dr. Sihanonth.

Observe near the bottom right corner the birth of the four young basidiospores forming on the basidium. Also in this image one can also see both the nipple and the germ pore on many of the spores in this image as well as several collapsed spores which somewhat resemble donuts.

Alan,

There is no slash across the a in Dr. Guzmán's name.

The code for the accent mark for the small a in Dr. Guzmán's name is alt 160

Hold the alt key down and at the same time press 160 in the numbers to the right of your right hand. that will make an á for the name. For the o in Gastón it is alt 162. Here is the ó

You discovered an interesting bug in the interaction between mycotopia and mushroomobserver.org.

I posted http:/ /mushroomobserver.org/4426 and mycotopia replaced it with a URL tag containing the title of the page with and Guzmán's name was translated improperly. I was able to edit my message and fix it this time.

one imagines mr. guzman will survive such a tiny bug bite
