They're definitely out in my area, I know cos the dreams started the last day or two with spectacular intensity, I'm just too lazy to go and look 
Today a middle aged Greek couple asked me what I was doing in the garden... I told them I was picking rare edible mushrooms. The guy got right into it, start picking some and I was force to show him which ones I was picking. I warned him that if not properly prepared they could cause serious side effects. He took a whole lot home.... I think he and his wife are going to have an interesting weekend! I feel sort of guilty but what was I supposed to tell the guy?
be interesting to hear what he has to say if they do consume.As if u would pick wild shrooms to take home to prepare a meal out of it. Thats just plain idiotic tbh. I mean come on how much is a kilo of mushrooms in the super market? Id rather fork out a bit of money knowing that i wont get sick or die. Just my 2cents.
It's truly cranking, the councils in many SE/E suburbs of Melbourne laid new mulch 1-2 years ago in many reserves and parks. Allot of the area's that were inoculated with spores are growing into healthy patches. It's been at least 4 years since I have observed fruiting in these numbers! The weathers been almost too cold in some area's. I'm finding some patches with frost bitten/blue bruising on pinning mushrooms already. Usually it's a month or two before I see this.
