Mushroom season 2010

hey guys,
so i know its still pretty early into the season for NSW,
but it was awesome to discover that some nice subs have started to populate in small numbers in certain area's around the blue mountains. (shitloads of amanitas also)

a question, preferably aimed at psilo or anyone else with some reliable knowledge:
from your previous experiences with hunting & consuming, would you say that subs picked fairly early in the season are seemingly way more potent than ones picked later on when they are at a growing peak?
i have heard someone make a similar statement somewhere before..
but its just that we gathered some freshuns' a week or two back, dried & consumed them..
now, i have fairly good experiences with subs in previous seasons, and my friend and i found it a bit interesting that the ones we picked kick in a great deal stronger compared to how they normally would from x amount of shrooms.
we have had similar feedback from some friends who tested them also..
a couple of our experienced mates even tripped out way beyond their threshold off somewhat rather average and familiar doses..
even my dose was a heaps average one compared to what i would normally have, and the intensity of the trip was really fucking outstanding.
im not saying there's some sort of superfungus growing or anything like that, as i am most certain that i have heard something along the lines of the earlier findings having higher potencies than normal.

just curious to see if anybody can confirm that, or relate to anything i just said.
hope i didnt confuse anyone.

but put that aside for one second, and everybody embrace this freezing cold weather :) :)
<3 the season

Found my first mushies today. I think if I remember correctly psilo said something about making a tea out of it? Could you please explain how? Alternatively whats a good amount to eat for a first time? 10 subs?

Thanks for any replys :)
 
^ Hey dude, it as often been my experience that early season shrooms are very potent but who is to say? I mean when you think about it, at the start of the season its probably a while since you tripped but by the end you have probably got a few recent ones under the belt.

I do think first few flushes probably are more potent as a general rule, but it can vary from patch to patch. I would always assume first finds of the season will knock your block off, if its not increased potency then just because of low tolerance.

i am hoping for a suspended sentence, as i beat the standard non parole business luckily. but am still looking at 2 years, even 3 or 4. but my barrister is hoping i can get it suspended. at least after 6 months. hopefully from the start, so i dont do a day. but, if i get done in that time then i am well and truly rogered.

Faaaark. And Victoria just ditched suspended sentencing too, at least a sympathetic magistrate could suspend a sentence but soon they will not have that option :(

EDIT: Ah, forget what I said, only applies to serious crimes, ie. rape, murder, armed robbery

[eK]: agree with drug mentor. could be they are stronger, they definitely feel stronger. but it could be any number of subjective or psychological factors at play. additionally the nutrient concentrations around patches will be that the highest near the start of a season... likely another probable cause but it's hard to tell.

shibada123: ironically it's easiest to dose them dried and powdered, unfortunately as a number of people have noted doing so could be construed as illegal. if however there was some dried mushrooms they could easily be powdered and measured into roughly 1.5-2 gram gel capsules. This way someone could safely take a smallish dose and work their way up. be careful, the power of a strong mushroom trip can be a pretty intense experience. much more visual than LSD or moderate doses of mescaline in my experience.

Should of aimed this question at me man lol. DM is somewhat correct in stating that the first few flushes are stronger than the others. Reason why? Because the shrooms simply run out of nutrients/moisture.

Inadequate nutrients have big disadvantages on the production of actives. Aborts (never fully matured mushrooms) due to genetics mainly are the most potent of them all because the shroom stops growing but still produces active alkoloids (it still has alot of nutrients but genetics is the number one cause)

Another reason why they seemed more potent (not sure how well u dried em) because the fresh shrooms are always more potent than dried ones. As they are dried the actives oxidize and u loose a bit of actives (not overly noticeable) but can tell the difference in effects.

Last reason that comes to my mind is that u guys picked different types. There are hundreds of psilocybes and quite a few of them are located in this country. The list can go on forever.
 
Woohoo i had my first finding today! My mushy picking confidence is back again! :D

I was getting a little impatient... im happy now!

It's hard when you work full time to properly dedicate yourself, but i managed to come across today's lot during my lunch break =D
 
I'm almost at the point where I'm going to put up a sign saying "please use scissors" in my local park. These nuff-nuff's have destroyed a good sized patched by stepping all over it and pulling out huge chunks of mycelium. Two weeks ago the patch was flushing huge numbers. Now due to all the pulling of fruiting area's of mycelium and stepping all over the place it's pretty much destroyed... very frustrating. I think I missed these people by about 1-2 hours today, some of the clods of mulch and plants they had pulled up were still wet.
 
mongman ive noticed exactly the same. just got back from a patch now in the northeast burbs and it's been torn apart. How long does it usually take for the mycelium to regenerate, if at all?
 
zebadee: depending on how serious it is they may never recover. particularly if the people continue to behave in this way.

Happened again today. The patch I photographed last weekend has been pillaged, probably by the two girls I showed it to last weekend... stupid me. They cut a swath down the middle of the park taking everything above the ground.

Will post photos of some new patches I found later.

Theres nothing shitter than sharing your good patches with people only to have it turn around and get raped. My first good patch was a few hundred square metres of landscaped garden that ran along about a kilometre of bike track, right next to my old highschool. I was foolish enough to share this knowledge with others at the end of the season and every season since has not been a third as fruitful as that first year, live and learn....
 
These two happened upon me while I was snapping photo's and asked me if I was a shroom hunter. To which I said yes, they had never found any before and had been looking all day. They had come all the way from the Northern Suburbs so I tried to teach them a bit about safe identification, where to look, asked them not to tell anyone about the location & to find some nice patches for themselves. Offered them some specimens from the patch to help them get a feel for ID's also.
Told me they wouldn't be back but clearly I was wrong.
 
Pretty sure I just spotted a veritable carpet of subs when I was walking past the local primary school this morning, didn't get a proper look because it's not good to get spotted skulking suspiciously around schoolyards, lol, but I know there used to be a patch directly across the road from the school but which dried up as all the bark washed away over the years, so the spores could well have migrated. Might have to go back this evening after school hours and before it gets too dark. Half considering doing a public service and ridding the school of the dangerous drug by taking a shovel down and scooping up as much mycelium and possible then transplanting it somewhere more accessible (like my back yard!)
 
Hahaha, dicked! Was walking past the school this arvo, just after the end of school, jumped the fence to grab one and sure enough it was the bizzo. Went to the bottle shop and came back to find two high school kids still in uniform skulking around the garden with scissors in hand. I called out, told them they were little shits and I'd spotted the patch this morning, they looked pretty nervous but I just laughed and pointed out the patch, they hadn't seen it yet but obviously they knew there was one there, maybe they picked there last year or had been told to look there. I figured fuck it, I probably wouldn't eat them anyway rather dry and hoard them, may as well leave it to the younger generation (little shits couldn't have been older than 15 lol) and at least they were using scissors!

But maybe I'll go down ther tonight with a shovel and really fuck em over ;)
 
by digging up their patch or by waiting for them to return so you can smack them in the face for taking your shrooms?
 
are the western suburbs or Sydney active at all? Or how far up the mountain do you need to go? Just trying to narrow down the search not asking for any location as don't think your allowed but just any tips?
