Mushroom season 2010

[phase_dancer]

Asking for broad locations is still sourcing. I'd suggest learning what conditions are best and look for your own. There's wealth of info here and elsewhere on the subject.

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

LoL you should remove the patch! 15 year old school kids should not be doing that sort of shit. That will be a form of harm minimisation. And you'll score yourself a patch :D

^ It isn't harm minimisation if they go to a different patch and pick galerinas, or can't find any shrooms so go and buy amphetamines instead. Ideally I don't think 15 year olds should be using drugs (even though I was way before then) but I do also kind of believe if someone is mature enough to find out how to pick properly, does enough reading on tripping and knows how to treat a patch with respect then they are mature enough to make up their own mind whether or not they should ingest psilocybin mushrooms.

If they have the maturity to research, then they have the maturity to find a new patch!

As to magic mushrooms being in a school, removing them is still harm minimisation. Anyone from the ages or 12-19 has easy access to them whilst in school. Only takes a young inexperienced kid to find them after seeing older students picking them during play time to mess themselves up, whether it be getting in trouble from the teachers to riding there bikes home under the influence.

Anyway, unlikely it would happen, but you know what school kids are like. They don't think the same way adults do.

thanx for all the support,re the court case.
2 days away.
hopefully on thursday night i will be able to let you know how it went.
if you dont hear from me, well you know where i am.

anyways, i totally agree how frustrating it is about your fave patcges getting destroyed.
lesson is: start your own patches, as many as possible, and keep your mouth shut about them.
pick from them carefully and in private. if you see someone coming, sit down and read a book.
or pull faces and act like a retard to scare them off.

also, if you can, start patcges in your own gardens. this is the best. for when it is cold enough for them, you can use a sprinkler to simulate rain fall. dont flood it tho, and remember, know use watering untill it is 14 degrees and less. preferably less.

we had a dry cold winter four years ago in the blueys, so , as it was under ten dgrees everyday, i started to water my patch in desperation, and hound it worked. i got good results when i layed a pile of loose dry vegetation cuttoffs over the patch, to simulate a cloudy day i figured. it also helped with the retaining of moisture. this is one of my big tricks.
you can hide smaller public patches this way too. the shrooms get a good size underneath too.

i will be back in my beloved mountains this week, and next week, so, if i am a freeman and not a convict, i will be hunting, as there has been a little rain. enough to get the eastern facing patches under trees goin anyway.

nanoo nanoo.

I'll never forget going to my year 9 Indonesian class on mushrooms that I ate out of a school garden bed

The things you do when your 15 eh?

If anything, using mushrooms from a young age made me a much wiser person. Those who tried to use them to 'get fucked up' ended up getting taught a lesson and those of us who used them for mind expansion gained much insight.

Mid May, the peak of the Psilocybe Subaeruginosa season and a beautiful time to be out in nature. I've been finding the suckers everywhere over the past week

 

[drug_mentor]

^ haha my little brother did the same thing! I was never game to eat the fuckers at school, figured that was asking for trouble.

Kids can be dumb but I think most people generally know its a very bad idea to eat strange mushrooms. I went to a P-12 (prep to year 12) school that was abundant with mushrooms and no kids ever ate them randomly. That isn't to say this couldn't happen but they really do grow everywhere and I don't think a kid dumb enough to eat the fucking things without knowing what they are is anymore likely to do this in school than out their own yard or up the park. Atleast its better than them eating galerina's right?

 

[bit_pattern]

No! I say pass the gnosis onto the next generation! Fuck it! I can't be assed dedicating 6+ hours to some psychedelic lesson I should have learned 6 years ago anyway. At least they had scissors, could have picked worse proteges imo. Good on them, they saw, they came, they conquered. Who am I to tell them no? Someone needs to nurture the next generation, no?

 

[bit_pattern]

by digging up their patch or by waiting for them to return so you can smack them in the face for taking your shrooms?

HAHAA, just registered your post and its comedic value! For real nigga, for real!

 

[bit_pattern]

For the record, I was younger than these punks when I started, so good luck to them! We gotta nurture the next vibration.

 

[drug_mentor]

BTW psynapsurfa, really wishing you the best possible luck come your day in court. Would suck to think another BLer was behind bars! I will cross my fingers and touch some wood for you my friend.

 

[Stoner Witch]

Just had a quick look then, and I've already found some. I've even got subs starting to grow in my front yard!

Bollocks, nothing like finding your feet early. My first mushroom experience was on a grade 10, 4 day hiking trip into Lamington. That night one of the boys mixed some fungi in with our 2min noodles and we tripped balls. Unfortunately at the height of our craziness we realised one of our friends had disappeared. For a solid 3 hours we sat there shitting ourselves. We even had the story straight for when the teachers came through the next morning.... we know nothing

Just as the sun began to raise our friend came stumbling into camp, bug eyed and desheveled. He had gone for a piss and then wigged out in a ball just down the valley. He could hear us calling out for him but was too scattered to find his way back. To this day we still laugh about that night. You'd think it would have but us off but it just made us stronger and smarter.

 

[heythatsmybike]

If your friend never returned would you still not know anything? My first shroom encounter was on my year 11 music camp. We had access to all of the musical instruments and recording equipment. I still have the recordings! Next encounter was two weeks later on a day our school had organized meditation with Buddhist monks, to this day it is still the most astonishing trip of my life

 

[Busty St Clare]

Part of the briefing when ever we headed in there was to stay the fuck away from crops, booby traps etc. We were certain we could blame his disappearance on the NNSW locals. May have been a differnt story once we had stopped tripping though

If it was me I would have spent the whole 3 hours looking for my mate. Glad to hear he was ok in the end.

Totally. Good luck for Thursday psynapsurfa, you have been in my thoughts.

 

[heythatsmybike]

All I ca sayid I glad I have the friends that I do! No offence busty but that's uncool!

 

[Lovegrud]

Well I went for my first hint on the weekend, did some research and went 2 hours out of Melbourne was fun, however I felt like I didn't know enough info about them so I didn't end up keeping any of the mushrooms I found. I post them on shroomery but I left their remains in my parents garden.

Moral of the story : next time bring someone that knows what they're looking for lol.

 

[heythatsmybike]

Or a taste tester!
