A history of a name and a chemistry record, not an identification guide. No name, picture or description can show that a wild mushroom is safe, and poisonous mushrooms are mistaken for magic mushrooms. If someone may have eaten a wild mushroom, call a poison centre without waiting for symptoms: 1-844-POISON-X in most of Canada, 1-800-463-5060 in Quebec. Call 911 if they’re unconscious, not breathing or having a seizure.
How it was named.
He and Zhao described Panaeolus subfoenisecii in 2026 in IMA Fungus 17: e167329, from a collection made in Gyirong County, Xizang, in 2022. The name refers to its likeness to, and close relationship with, P. foenisecii.
