the mushies grow wild in abundance (just mooove with the hurd)- the ganja fields go on hill after hill and are like up to 10 feet tall - the kiddies stand on top of all the hills and shout mushoom - if u call mushoom back they come running over to trade their mushrooms for cents or sweets. flippin kool

Those are most excellent images from South Africa. Real cool on the ganja images also.

Shame you did not have a good camera to document your find with good quality images. Who knows when you will go back again and see all of this.

If you had been in Natal which is a province of South Africa, I could have given you the name of a colleague at the University of Natal.

That is where Psilocybe natalensis grows. looks similar to cubes but grows tall with no ring.

Still Kudos on your cool score.

http://075_editCool discovery
I’m from just north of the Transkei and iv never seen the shrooms .Must admit I wasn’t looking for them.
Where about did you take the pics of the shrooms on the coast or more in land?
Im keen to find some myself.
Nice one

Those are Psilocybe cubbensis.

Since you never seen them, here are some cultivated ones from the original first collections of prints sold on the internet and it was cloned from a large pinner in a petri plat. They get fat and the caps upturn and become wavy.

Enjoy these 8 images of South African transkei. The first six fruited 17days after mixing ryeberry seed spawn and pasteurized buffalo dung with strawcompost after 17 day.

9 days later, the 2nd flush emerged and the last image is of the 2nd flush from one end of the terrarium. these guys were larger.

Also in Natal of South Africa region there are Psilocybe natalensis, similar to a cube but stems get tall and caps are no larger than two to two and a half inches in diameter. They are not as big a cap as cubes and they have no ring. And those do not grow from manure.

I've seen too them in " the countryside " very pale picture purrrrfect :) Almost all white except for a golden nipple, perfect round breast cap :) Very potent, 2 freinds went looking and found twins, feedin the local madala's chillums of bubble, eish, the "very strrrong one". haha Blessed country. In the season one could get herb for 85 dolla's US eq. for a kee, enough to make nice big personal section of more bubbubbubbly. Local pans abound in dry hot times that are spectacular, white to cream and 20/ 30 cms tall.. need to eat like at least twenty times more tho...

[Phlux-]

Panaeolus cyanescens would only require 7-10 fresh mushrooms of four inches or taller or one to two large ones (one gram dried is a dose equal to a dose of liberty caps or 3-5 dried grams of P. cubensis). And since cubes require 3-5 dried grams or one fresh ounce, why would you say that one would have to eat at least twenty times more of the Pans. That would kill someone.

Haha a local member of the family I mean't, not the cyanescens tho, I wish ! It doesn't bruise blue.. A freind ate a bit to test ..nothing happened, he then ate a whole one, they're big, waited then ate a whole bunch, got threshold effects.. CEV, and trippyness but must have eaten like 200g fresh at least.
