Mine. I'll be away Thursday-Sunday, so you may have to wait a little there, but I'm sure I'll be able to find time to promote tomorrow if problems are resolved by then- there's nothing major anyway.
I hope this has been helpful, and I hope the image issue can be resolved. J Milburn ( talk) 22:56, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
Great improvements! so are fungi in the section mexicanae (tampanensis, mexicana, atlantis, caerulescens) the only sclerotia producers? Is galindoi in mexicanae? — Preceding

About the 2nd sentence of this entry, saying its been found in Mississippi. To my knowledge, from everything I can find out - the original collection of P. tampanensis, Brandon. FL (greater Tampa metro south) is its only documented occurrence. The 2nd sentence offers no citation for the alleged Mississippi occurrence. But that's no mystery - the claim is familiar from an unsupported assertion from Stamets, 1996, PSILOCYBIN MUSHROOMS OF THE WOLRD. The claim is baldy made with no details or evidence cited - i.e., nothing a mycologist could confirm or disprove, independently.
In a youtube titled "Psilocybin Mushrooms of the World - Paul Stamets 7/30/98" - he informally states the same. Not just Mississippi, he adds Louisiana to its distribution. I've made inquiries about this, including to Dr Gaston Guzman, a colleague, expert in systematics of Psilocybe. He indicated he knows of no evidence to confirm the story and what it claims. Just sayin' ... I'd be intrigued and grateful if anyone can point me to a publication, specimen voucher - what herbarium, what collection, what locale, identified by whom? - to substantiate the claim. Not objection to question, counter 'interpretations' or arguments why this why that etc. (please and thank you). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Akersbp ( talk • [[Special:Contributions/ Akersbp ( talk) 19:21, 16 July 2013 (UTC)Akersbp|contribs]]) 19:07, 16 July 2013 (UTC) Akersbp ( talk) 19:21, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
Thanks Sasata - holy cow that is intriguing. I'm grateful. That article is a new one for me. It does substantiate Mississippi collection, valid identification and documentation. Looks like it was deposited in the fungal collections at the Institute of Ecology in Xalapa, curated by Guzman. Your informative reply is much appreciated, question rests. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Akersbp ( talk • contribs) 13:27, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
Not published yet, but I just got ITS DNA sequences back from a new collection of P. tampanensis found a month ago in Florida, and it's a 100% match with P. atlantis. Since P. tampanensis was described first, this name takes priority.
