Hey, ChimpZ - you look like you really know your grasses in general. What would you recommend as a field guide or other resource for grass ID? “There is a way of manipulating matter and energy so as to produce what modern scientists call 'a field of force'. The field acts on the observer and puts him in a privileged position vis-à-vis the universe. From this position he has access to the realities which are ordinarily hidden from us by time and space, matter and energy. This is what we call the Great Work." ― Jacques Bergier, quoting Fulcanelli

I'm finding a lot of this species of grass on my hikes in the local area. It does remind me of Phalaris arundinacea. Can anyone please ID this species ? Thanks!

Arundinacea is one species which I am not confident in identifying yet. I would vote no but Chimp z would know better. The consciousness of plants is a constant source of information for medicine, alimentation, and art, and an example of the intelligence and creative imagination of nature. Much of my education I owe to the intelligence of these great teachers. Thus I consider myself to be the “representative” of plants, and for this reason I assert that if they cut down the trees and burn what’s left of the rainforests, it is the same as burning a whole library of books without ever having read them.

I am now confident that the grass on the photos from post #302 are NOT Phalaris arundinacea.

You can use a plant identification app.
Find all other plants (Poacee) containing interesting alcaloids is the beginning of a new way.

The above photo is most likely Cortaderia selloana. I could not find any information on possible alkaloid content.

Today I was taking a picture of a Phalaris arundinacea lookalike, and then I noticed it is infested with a species of ergot... dithyramb attached the following image(s): IMG_20200926_181858.jpg (906kb) downloaded 94 time(s).

just noticed pictures and pretty much in every picture I can see full hand etc ....
it isn't that hard if you wanted to to take FINGER PRINTS ....
when I was renewing my passport my finger prints got taken so I am in a database now myself

I am native to central Europe and looking at these pictures,Phalaris is what I used to put in my mouth and chew on as a kid when collecting mushrooms or fishing....remember it had kind of sweet taste to it.... so today I realized I been munching on DMT since I was probably 5 years old  I am talking about the stems not leafs

Nice Blazon, you're a natural born DMT eater  Good point about the fingerprints, it would be smart to not show hands in photos uploaded here.

About grasses:
Indole alkaloids are responsible for toxicity of
Phalaris pastures to sheep and cattle [l-3]. Several of these alkaloids are present in various species of Gramineae, Leguminosae and other plant families [4]. Simple indole bases such as 3-N,Ndimethylaminomethylindole (gramine)
5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (MOM2T, 2), 5- methoxytryptamine (MOT, 3) and N,-methyltryptamine (MT, 4)
...total alkaloid content varies between 0.02-1.19 of dry wt in Phalaris arundinacea [7]
and gramine concentration may reach up to 7 mmol/kg fr. wt in barley [S],
..Several plant secondary metabolites are thought to protect plants against insects and patho- gens. For example, hydroxamic acids from Gramineae have been suggested to protect wheat and maize against the European corn borer.
Always known for the property of selectively chelating metals, forming stable products especially with Cu2 +, Fe3 +, V5 +, UO22 +. They have also been studied for the realization of polymer chains with chelating properties to be used in the selective removal of heavy metals [2] [3] Some hydroxamic acids such as SAHA, Vorinostat, PXD101 and Belinostatin, LAQ824 / LBH589 and Trichostatin A, are HDAC inhibitors with anticancer properties.

Hi to all someone from help will help me. is Aquatica phalaris? Thanks https://prntscr.com/12hswjfhttps://prntscr.com/12hsvkohttps://prntscr.com/12hsurnppancho.villa attached the following image(s): Phalaris 4.jpg (1,699kb) downloaded 54 time(s). phalaris2.jpg (2,600kb) downloaded 54 time(s). 20210504_163926.jpg (2,222kb) downloaded 54 time(s).

That looks like aquatica. The consciousness of plants is a constant source of information for medicine, alimentation, and art, and an example of the intelligence and creative imagination of nature.

It might as well be minor we cant tell until we inspect the seeds. One way to rule out phalaris minor os to uproot the plant and takea a close up pic of the root tips of the new root growth. If its pink it's fair to say with a reasonable accuracy that it's minor. This is the method that is suggested by crop scientists to farmers to identify phalaris minor infestation within a feild of phalaris aquatica. Root tips plus seeds should give us a very accurate taxonomy.

thank you for the info. I am attaching a picture of the seeds. I'll have to go look at the root. ppancho.villa attached the following image(s): 20210506_112125.jpg (1,597kb) downloaded 58 time(s).
