I have no idea how i got to this video and i have no idea about anything mycology related, but god damnit do i love this man in a funny mushroom costume.
Pan. Cinc. and Pan Foes are extremely difficult to differentiate. They look almost identical. You are absolutely right about the spore color. Most field guides get it wrong as well. The Pan Cinc spore print is jet black! Not almost black or looks very dark no it's jet black. Pan Foes spore print is very very dark brown almost black to the hunter who wants it to be Pan Cinc. No, extremely dark rusty brown doesn't make the cut. You're passing along great info to the mushroom hunter.
Pan foes bind to serotonin and at one point we're thought to be a natural anti depressant also were listed as hallucinogenic at one point.... so I read anyway.
One thing that has helped me ALOT is their stem having "lines" twisting around the stem, and they never go straight. Make sure you forage right when the sun is rising as these tend to dry out very fast. (On my end at least.)
@@naturalurbex any tips? I always thought I would find them on pastures because that's what I was told... But I've found them near lakes and right on lawns. They really are abundant shrooms
@@thecrackin8531hey man, idk I've been desperately trying to find them for the past couple of months but no result, its been pretty dry anyway. I would only find Panaeolina foenisecii, if anything
I'm an amateur mycologist out of southern ohio. I've been harvesting wild Cinctulus for going on about 10 years now. Very informative video I loved it!
One of my first species I mastered :) I would find tons of them in Portland, Oregon. I’ve even found them growing in phoenix, az in the appropriate micro climates.
You must live in a warm climate.There in Pa NJ NY depending on the weather conditions.They love grass that is taken care of,I spread seaweed and manure,I give the grass a tea in the spring and theget big and knareld . They are better than what I heard on the net.Sometimes I prefer them over other mushrooms,they taste good with some garlic and salt and hot tea
Found them from horse dump pile and they r big as max can be,,,2’5 inch caps and they grow fast after rain fall!! But they need time to spread around so check at least couple of years old piles!
Good stuff. Will keep checking these vids out. Im still fairly novice going into foraging as a whole. More like coming back into it after a long long hiatus. My entire family has always been super outdoorsy and the "sportsman. Been on many mushroom hunting trips growing up. Mostly for morels, spiked morels, puffs and turky tail. Loads of mullberries, wild blue berries and such. Eventually I grew away from it for a bit and started skating hard-core. Got into the drug scene, became a substance nerd. Now married and growing a family in my 30s and making my way back to the woods and feilds. Wanna teach the kids the importantance of nature. Anyway, Ive seen these before when I was maybe 13 or so. Had no clue what it was. Gramps never tired em, and my cousins said they were probably inedible, but never did any reading on em. But yeah, pretty damn sure we have these here in midwest ohio. Its late in the season, so I probably wont see any till next year, but definitely gonna be looking about. We have ovoids here as well. Some say we have amanita muscaria, but I've never seen one wild. Probably do, I've read they like pine trees. 🍻
I hope you’re still active on here. I’m having a hard time finding any distinguishable traits between the cinctulus and the Panaeolus papilionaceus. Both inhabit the same ecosystem. Both have various phenotypes, both have similar appearances, both have jet black spore prints.
@@SLIMMY93 Very dangerous advice to promote, it might be true that there is little risk but that's going to get someone hurt. Take a spore print dont be lazy.
As there are no known poisonous panaeolus species, they’re probably safe, but it’s better not to risk it. If you’re unsure of a mushroom, don’t eat it!
I’m in South Africa and hope to observe this mushroom in the coming months. I’ve found plenty of psilocybe cyanescens but now they’re out of season so I want something else to look for.
I have What is called "mowers mushrooms" in my yard ... ate 3 caps and nothing happened I have traumas and just want to enlighten my soul and address my inner self.
These can be relatively difficult to identify. Not that you'll mistake them for something toxic, but it can be hard to tell them apart from inactive _Panaeolus_ -- especially the far more common _Panaeolus/Panaeolina foenisecii_ You might also mistake a damn _Psathyrella_ for a _Pan. cinc._ Additionally, there are no doubt a few undescribed species of black-spore _Panaeolus_ that occur in temperate climates, but are not _Pan cincs_ -- especially in _grass_ and not on horse dung, rotting hay/straw, or highly manured grass.
Cool video👍, I've found these in SC around manure/ cow pastures, In the exact same spot a year apart, both times they looked healthy and edible but both times they had those friggin little maggots when I tried to print them.
Finding way too many of these in my yards I’m not interested in tripping anymore, but I have been taking many many spore prints might have accidentally made a lot of spawn and I keep dropping it everywhere. I gotta be more careful! Lol
At least couple of years old big horse dump piles. They grow fast so if u find them then after the rain... day after tomorrow you got more and big ones!!
foraging for mushrooms is always spooky. I recommend growing your own. r/unclebens is a good place to start also sporeworks is a good place to get spores from
@@gizzardgizzard3583 I'm from Romania, and as far as I know it's illegal to purchase, grow, posess or sell shrooms, however it is possible to order a growing kit from other EU countries where it's legal. There are no border checks inside the Schengen area, only one at the Romanian border but it's almost certain nobody will bother to check a package coming from an EU country. Still, there is some risk of getting caught
As a general rule, no. _Sometimes_ you can find large specimens that'll oxidise a VERY subtle blue-gray colour towards the base of their stipe. (often found hiding in the grass around large piles of horse manure + straw) They're also one of the species that forms psychoactive sclorotia, and their sclorotia do bruise blue, yes.
Do you have any advice cuz I keep on panaeolus antillarum everywhere in my calf field in southeast Oklahoma I eat them all the time because apparently they're edible but at the same time not edible because some sites say they do contain psilocybin some sites say they don't so what is it I just keep on having crazy fucking dreams
