I don't think So. At leas tI've never heard of them getting that big. In the UK at least. Now I think of it I'm sure I remeber someone mention on a forum how shocked they were to find what they thought were ther largest P.Sem they'd ever seem....

Well if thats your mindset towards them I'd say then thats the best thing for you. Many things influence a trip. Company, mood, outlook, disturbances, nervousness. These are but small few that influence..

Some are - http://academic.evergreen.edu/projec...ms/phm/s33.htm . Maybe the lookalikes don't grow here?

But it says it right in that article :\ As I previously mentioned, Amanita Pantherina is often considered a poison due to it's hugely variable potency (Overdosing is all to easy) They work by partially poisoning you. It still is hallucinogenic though. You'll simply have to perform test to get the correct dosage (Work your way up)

Oh shizzle, forgot to add something important which might rule out that big P.Sem you seem to have found... I'll edit it in in bold.
Say, For all you corkonians, GET OUT THERE!! THEY ARE GROWING NOW!! JUST DON'T TAKE EM ALL!! I want some Oh ya, and tap the heads to release spores, and leave the babies.
Ill also add a bit more to habitat. (All in bold I suppose..)

Say, Update. Found another neighboring field nextto my favorite one. (Alas, there are 10 bulls now in it.. And it was the black evil looking one that chased me out...) Well it's more a network of fields with no gates. It currently inhabited by horses (Much more friendly..). I found a few P.Sem, but hardly as much as growing in my bull buddies dung.... Hrmm there was ANOTHER one on the other side though that also has horses but I think cows in the past.. Had an in-between amounts of P.Sem but twas there that I found my first Panaeolus Campanulatus. (The one with the White toothed fringe around the margin.)

Edit: Ah also, in response to trash-can; by their name I can't imagine them to be P.Sem either.. P.Sem is NOT golden.

EDIT EDIT: Oh man, I'm getting it all wrong.. Where you talking about P.Sem or Amanita Pantherina? Profound apologies..
