once in a hothouse in Germany Season: Warm and after rainfalls in troipical climates? Comments: Galerina steglichii is a tiny bluing tropical(?) species
that was recently discovered in a hot house in the botanic gardens of
Regensburg in Bavaria (GFR). Both psilocybine and psilocine were reported
by Besl as ocurring in this species. Gartz also analysed some specimens
in 1994. It was babtised in honour of Wolfgang Steglich, a chemist who
has done a lot of research on, among others, fungal pigments. Gartz
found both psilocine and psilocybine as well as small amounts of baeocystine
in this species ranging from 0.05% to 0.14% dry weight. Dosage: Unknown. And not recommended due to its relationship with the deadly species of Galerina |
