Mushrooms of Angkor Wat and Surrounding Areas

[mjshroomer]

Well here is a composite of some of the mushrooms I collected at Angkor Wat Last Week. It is 2 am Sunday Morning in Bangkok and I am leery and somewhat sleepy, but cannot sleep.

My bad, I am so sleepy.

I will now post them going on 2:45 am or so.

The first three are of Psilocybe antioquensis.

I found these at along the Temple wall of Banteay Kdei (Citadel of the Cell), an old Cambodian prioson form the 12th century.

The first shows some specimens, I picked and laid along side another in the grass.


The second image is a small collection of picked P. antioquenisis. Since I carried them around in a box for a few hours, I was unable to get prints formthem when i dried them later.

The third image is of opposite the wall of the 1200 or so A.D. prison wall showing a go (cow in Cambodian) and my personal driver Mr. Paris Lom of Xiem Riap. Usually there are dozens of children selling trinkets, tourist books with photos of Angkor Wat and silk scarves, but there were none the first day of the early mornign when we came.



It rained and then some partial sun appeared and the weather was like that over and over for five days

The next 7 images are of Copelandia cyanescens













And some copes in a tray.



Here is a beautiful specimen of Chlorophyllum molybdites (Green Gills and/or Morgan's Lepiota), with a smaller unpoened cap on the top of the mushroom.



Here we have three Sister shrooms (Lepiota sp.).

A closer look at the three shrooms at the bottom left of the above image and a close up of the 2nd image.





Two different unidentified species of mushrooms.

The first one is found growing from a wall at Ta Proehm.



The 2nd is a grouping of white gilled shrooms in dry soil. It only takes about ten minutes of hot heat for the ground to dry form the monsoon rain at times.

Yeah I first looked at this set of cope images a few nights ago when very tired, and they looked much more impressive at the time, I was actually blown away and thinking about it for a few days.

Now I just looked back and I am rested and it looks different, maybe it was a seperate topic I was looking in because I thought there were pics of the Angkor structures included.

The second and fourth cope images are top notch. Those are experienced perspectives unlike any others and would be deservingly suitable to be published in a book.

The cope collection image is great too. I think a really expert cope image should have those gills in there also, and mj is obviously closely familiar with that deep coloration of the gills and trippy margin of the Copelandia.
