O. Ceska - A <strong>Survey</strong> <strong>of</strong> Macr<strong>of</strong>ungi on Observatory Hill: Fall 2009 and Winter 2009/2010 These two Psilocybe species occur throughout the Pacific Northwest and California. Two other species that grow on Observatory Hill, Psilocybe montana and Psilocybe inquilina, are quite common, but they are not hallucinogenic. Ramaria aurantiisiccescens Fall weather in 2009 was ideal for corral fungi. Ramaria aurantiisiccescens is considered rare by Exeter et al. (2006). This species is limited to the Pacific Northwest and is known from about 11 sites ranging from northern California to 20
O. Ceska - A <strong>Survey</strong> <strong>of</strong> Macr<strong>of</strong>ungi on Observatory Hill: Fall 2009 and Winter 2009/2010 Washington (Castellano et al. 1999). It was found growing below the paved road, in a mixed forest with Pseudotsuga menziesii, Thuja plicata, Acer macrophyllum and Abies grandis. Squamanita paradoxa Squamanita paradoxa, also known as powdercap strangler, is an extremely rare fungus. In North America it was first collected and described from Mt. Hood and the second known site was at Priest Lake, Idaho. This is the first record <strong>of</strong> this species in Canada. There are several collections from Europe (Czech Republic, France, Great Britain, Italy, and Netherlands). It is a parasitic fungus that grows out <strong>of</strong> another mushroom, the commonly widespread Cystoderma amianthinum. In fact, the yellow "Wellingtons" at the base are the remnants <strong>of</strong> the host mushroom. Tricholoma bufonium This fungus has an exceptionally repulsive odour. It was seen in BC only once before (by Paul Kroeger, personal comm. – no herbarium collection made), in Freeman King 21
