Stropharia

Slo.: zelenkasta strnicnica - Syn. Psilocybe aeruginosa - Habitat: mixed, predominantly hardwood woodland, nearly flat ground, cretaceous clastic rock (flysh), rain protected by trees canopies, mostly in shade, precipitations ~3.000 mm/year, average temperature 8-10 deg C, altitude 440 m (1.400 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. - Substratum: small rotten branch debris under ground. - Comment: Growing single.

Slo.: modrikasta strninica - syn.: Stropharia cyanea (Bolt. Secr.) - Habitat: on northeast side of a cottage, 2.5 m away of the woodshed, ruderal calcareous ground with organic debris mainly wood chips, shallow skeletal soil sparsely covered by vegetation, Utrica dioica dominant, flat terrain, mostly in shade, exposed to direct rain, average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 7-9 deg C, elevation 600 m (1.970 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. - Substratum: soil with a lot of organic debris. - Comments: Growing in a group of three fruit bodies, pilei very slimy, diameter 4 - 6 cm, the largest 1.5 cm thick; stipe dry, 3.5 - 5 cm tall, diameter 1.4 - 1.7 cm; taste mild, pleasant, smell pleasant, mushroomy; trama of marble blue-white color; mycelium abundant, beige, root-like apparently interwoven with roots of a large Utrica dioica; SP abundant brown, oac638. - Spores smooth. Dimensions: 7,5 [8,3 ; 8,6] 9,5 x 4,5 [4,9 ; 5,1] 5,5 microns; Q = 1,5 [1,7] 1,9; N = 36; C = 95%; Me = 8,5 x 5 microns; Qe = 1,7.

Slo.: orjaka strninica - Habitat: Among tall herbs and grass, near wood-side, semi-ruderal ground, old calcareous river deposits, flat terrain; partly sunny, exposed to direct rain, average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 8-10 deg C, elevations 420 m (1.400 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. - Substratum: soil, possibly decomposed tree and other litter. - Comments: Considered as rare, but some authors (if not most of) consider this species as a 'white' form of Stropharia rugosoannulata. Growing solitary or two/three fruitbodies together; several fruitbodies found at a distance of 100m (300 feet). Taste and smell indistinctive 'mushroomy'. Spore print almost black with violet tint. Base of stalk with white mycelium threads. Moderately viscid cap when wet. Pileus diameter of the largest fruit body about 20 cm (7,8 inch) and weight 380 g. Spore dimensions (the largest fruitbody): 11 (SD = 0.7) x 7.2 (SD = 0.5) micr., Q = 1.5 (SD = 0.12), n=30; spores thick-walled, with a germ pore.
