Psilocybe galindoi var.
Georgia strain.
Previously described as
Psilocybe atlantis.
Initially, this sample was described as
Psilocybe atlantis and we assumed that was correct.
Samples sent to
Psilocybe expert Gaston Guzman cast some doubt on the mushroom's actual identity, but no alternative identification was suggested.
A direct comparison of samples with the published description of
P. atlantis has confirmed Guzman's findings. The strain is not
Psilocybe atlantis but is instead a related species in the Section
Mexicanae. This new collection closely resembles
Psilocybe galindoi (galindii), a species previously known only from
Mexico. For lack of a better name, we are also going to unofficially call this strain
Psilocybe galindoi var.
Georgia
.
Additionally, mycologist David Allard has appropriately given the common name “
Atlanta Liberty Cap”
to this species. When this species is described in a scientific journal
and given a definitive name, we will amend our description.
Prolific sclerotia (a.k.a. truffles) production at a wide range of temperatures (70 to
79 F).
The most forgiving sclerotia-producing strain in our collection.
Produces early, abundant, very large sclerotia on rye grass seed, rice, and many other grains.
Although slightly trickier than
cubensis to fruit, it’s capable of reasonable mushroom production in cased
trays.
Does not produce abundant sclerotia in the casing.
