Gymnopilus Luteus For Sale

Gymnopilus luteus also called the “Yellow Gymnopilus” is a widely distributed mushroom of the Eastern United States, it contains the hallucinogens psilocybin and psilocin. Often mistaken for Gymnopilus speciosissimus and Gymnopilus subspectabilis.

Gymnopilus luteus is a member of the Gymnopilus junonius (also known as “Gymnopilus spectabilis“) species group.

Like the other species in the group it grows on wood and has a medium sized or large cap, a partial veil that usually leaves a ring or ring zone on the stem, an orange to orange-brown spore print, and a bitter taste.

Unlike the others, however, it is apparently limited to the hardwood forests of eastern North America, and features yellow colors as well as a slender stem.Gymnopilus Luteus For Sale

Description:

Ecology: Saprobic on the dead wood hardwoods (and perhaps on the wood of conifers); growing alone, gregariously, or in small clusters; summer and fall; widely distributed in eastern North America.

Cap: 2–10 cm; convex or nearly flat; dry; silky or finely hairy (occasionally with minute scales over the center); yellow to orange-yellow.

Gills: Broadly attached to the stem; close; yellow, becoming rusty with maturity.

Stem: 2-8 cm long; up to 1.5 cm thick; more or less equal, or club-shaped when young; not typically swollen in the middle at maturity; colored like the cap but developing rusty stains when handled or with age; finely hairy; usually with a fragile ring or ring zone near the apex.

Spore Print: Rusty brown to orange-brown.

Chemical Reactions: KOH red on cap surface.

Microscopic Features: Spores 6-9 x 4.5-5.5 µ; warty; elliptical; dextrinoid. Pleurocystidia infrequent and inconspicuous. Cheilocystidia usually abundant; fusoid-ventricose, rostrate, capitate, or lecythiform. Caulocystidia absent.

The following Gymnopilus species may all generate Psilocybin, Psilocin, Cyanescin (Beaocystin), Nor-Cyanescin (Nor-Baeocystin), and other mind-altering chemicals.

A new study is strongly recommended to chemically investigate these species using the very best methods and the most contemporary equipment possible
