These were either sequenced by Mycota Lab or OMDL, and they may not be in Genbank but they’re definitely on MycoMap. You can run a MycoMap BLAST by clicking the MycoMap BLAST Results link (right side) on any of these observations

I want to pick it and cook it!

It’s not toxic or psychoactive. This is a choice edible! It actually tastes rather like corn. Can turn eggs green when cooked together!!
