Mushroom season 2010

I'm a bit worried that it's now getting too cold for Melb and the flushes are going to be rather small for the rest of the season. Let's hope i'm wrong...

The bush had very few pins when I checked today. I was quite surprised after all this rain, but hopefully it picks up over the next few days

As for the garden beds...

Tihehehe I't's just too easy to find subs in garden beds =D

More pics to be added soon :)
 
Psilo: I share your concern. I'm finding the extreme cold (coldest day in 13 years today) coupled with dry is causing reduced flushing in many area's. Although as you have shown the recent rain has brought on a bit of pinning.

A few of the patches I visit that produce the long stemmed nipple toped shroom as getting so cold they are completely blue from frost damage.

I'm noticing a lot of hunters giving up, allot less activity in the mulch (I tend to track peoples activity while hunting to gauge what other hunters are up to).
 
Seems I really have missed the boat this season, I have honestly been too lazy and pre occupied with school work and now it doesn't seem worth the bother of huntng. It is a shame because it looked like a hell decent start for a season, oh well... I don't really like tripping anyway, I actually do enjoy hunting for them though. Been forced to sleep in a freezing cold garage this year, and it makes it much harder to be motivated to venture out into the cold to go picking.
 
SW Vic, SA and WA are all still going off. It's just gotten too cold in mountainous and inland area's.

If Melb gets a few frost free mornings there will still be some decent finds before the season ends.

I wouldn't give up just yet
 
Ive been checking a few piles of wood chips up here in sydney but I havnt come across anything. I dont think ive read of any peeps in syd finding any :(

Unless the wood chips had been there for a long time and were starting to breakdown, it is doubtful that they would support subs.

You will notice that freshly chipped garden beds take 1-3 years before the mycelium takes a foot hold. Even if the garden bed once supported subs, a fresh layer of wood chips usually stops them from growing for at least one season.

The subs pictured in my above post are in a garden bed which was freshly chipped 4 months before last season and contained no mushrooms last season. Surrounding beds that were chipped many years ago were full of subs.

I have also seen a few reports of subs in Sydney area this season so keep studying the substrate in which they grow and get out there a few days after a decent down pour :)
 
Well i come back from balingup on sunday with 5 subs.. not sure if the spots had been raided already or if it just hasnt kicked off yet.

That really is a small amount kramer.

How much ground did you cover and what sort of substrate were they found growing in?

We hiked all day from 6am till 6pm. But where we found the subs was at the main patch where the cops like to chill out. It still took a good hour to find anything there. Substrate was rotting leaves, wood, pine needles, lush grass and was next to a stream. It was still looking a bit dry though I think.

We ran into a local that had been living there a month and he showed us this main patch and reckons he hadnt come across anything yet, but he was pretty much a noobie to hunting subs as he had come from France..
 
Who knows how many people got there before you and how abused the area has been over the years.

At least you got to keep fit with a nice long hike in the bush.

I'm sure there are many untapped patches in W.A just waiting to found.
 
As promised...

Patches of Psilocybe subaeruginosa like this are possible in wood chipped garden beds across southern Australia

Try putting the spores from your drying racks back into the substrate in which you hunt and only ever take what you need

Happy hunting :)

Damn it Psilo ! I WANT SHROOMS....but unfortunatly i'm only able to purchase them from trusted friends...

I wish i could find some. Not that i have looked HARD.. but.. still...must be so satisfying taking it from nature instead of a baggy haha!

Kinda like growing your own green man... damn that is satisfying !
 
Thats a phenominal find Psilo. You truly are the shroom master of blue light haha.

I just want to take a second to talk to you about my trip last week on tea. I was in the town of Bendigo had a big night at my mates house. Woke up at 5pm the next day, it was my mates little brother (who lives down the road) he was telling us to get up get over and drink some fresh mushie tea he had just finished.

Me and my mate get there about 15 minutes later. Tea was still warm, but I didn't get to see which shroom they picked because they had all been used in the tea. (last time I was up there we got gold tops) Me and my mate had one full cup of tea, and I had another half a cup. Was much more intense then previous times I've had shrooms, normally stuffs moving, colours are changing but I can still focus on what I'm doing.

About 40 minutes after consumption, my mate was falling on the ground yelling this is fucked im fucked, and I was sitting on the couch, felt like I was going insane, I was most paranoid I've ever been, I couldn't stand the curtains being open next to me, but was too scared to ask anyone to close them because I was worried they'd crack it at me.
The brick walls were moving, but not in a typical sense of wavyness, it was like they were a grid, and the grid was launching at me and moving back. I could here voices, any noise out of the ordinary scared the shit out of me.

I kept telling myself it will be over soon, the only thing that calmed me down was my mates pet dog, having him sit on my lap was extremely relaxing, it was like he was the one thing I knew that couldn't turn against me.

An hour later my mate is paralysed and just describing his hallucinations "it's like this whole area is a cave and over their is the light, but we can't go to the light!!!" or "I can't see any of you, you all don't look like you, wtf is going on? where the fuck am I? AHHH WTF?" My mates little brother and his girlfriend weren't on the shrooms however, so they were just keeping an eye on us, but I could tell they were not having a good time, so I told them to roll a Joint.

The Joint was probably the best thing apart from the dog on my lap. Having that J just slowed everything right down, when I'd inhale It's like I could think normally just for a brief few seconds beofre the mushies would take back over my trip.

About two hours later 8:15ish my mates little bro and his gf said they were going to bed because they had to get up early. I had finally cleared up enough I could respond properly, and just said "we're just gonna stay here a bit longer then we'll head on home" about 15mins later I'd cleared mostly up. very slight hallucinations now, just felt like everything was breathing and noises were back to normal. 10 Minutes later I was fine and another 10mins later my friend was fine aswell, and we decided we were fine to drive back to the other house.


Just wondering, how much does strength vary in individual mushrooms? I've had tea a couple of times of higher doses and never been anything close to this intense.

Also the trip didn't last nearly as long as when I've eaten shrooms or done them in caps. I do remember peeing four times through out the three hours, does this mean that whilst you digest your high quicker from tea, it's also quicker to exit the body?

This was probably the worst trip I've had, was extremely intense, I'd describe the three hours more, but I really can't remember them, I remember trying to play pool which was FUCKED UP. All the balls were glowing different colours.

I would do the same again, but I think if I was gonna do that again it would be in a seculded area with only my best friends.

I know this thread isn't primarily for trip reports, but it was very very intense, I can totally see now how Sustanon has always said he has found mushies to be more intense then acid. Messed up night.... good fun though =D

What can I say, SE Melb is mushroom heaven! :)

I wouldn't say i'm the king. There are a lot of lurkers that don't post in this thread who are just as knowledgeable as myself, but I guess I could take the title since I am the only one posting ;)

Sorry to hear about your trip dude. I only ever prepare my own tea's for this very reason. Do you know how many were used to make the brew and the size/age of the mushrooms? Substrate they were picked in? They would have been subs. I wish people wouldn't call them gold tops and just use the species and genus for IDing. World wide there must be over 40 psilocybe species referred to as gold tops and the mushrooms we get in southern Aus are Psilocybe Subaeruginosa, not blue meanies or gold tops or whatever people want to call them.

Tryptamine psychedelics are without a doubt, more intense than LSD and many other psychedelic drugs. They demand respect and if this is not given, they will show you why you should respect them...

There are no articles available on the potency variations of Psilocybe Subaeruginosa. There is a lot of information on other Psilocybe species varying in potency up to 4 times from the same patch. I would estimate that the average sub from pine needle substrate (very acidic and not the best habitat) is 4 or more times weaker than sub's from wood chipped garden beds and bush sub's are somewhere in between both.

Over the years I have come unstuck a few times while dosing tea. The truth is you never know how potent it's going to be, even when you factor in years of knowledge. Whilst garden bed subs tend to be the most potent and therefor should be dosed accordingly, I have been blown away by very small amounts of bush subs from time to time. Pine forest sub's have always been a let down for myself and friends, but i'm sure you get the odd potent sucker even from this substrate.

Drinking a tea as opposed to eating the mushroom makes for rapid absorption of the active alkaloids via the digestive tract. I have commonly came up within 15 minutes when dosing this way. As you noticed, you are usually back to level ground a lot sooner from a tea because your body has both taken in and broken down the drug a lot quicker than it would if you were to eat the mushrooms.

If you ever find yourself in this situation again, remember one simple rule... Don't give into astonishment. No matter how strong and crazy that trip gets, don't let it beat you and don't give up and be overcome. This one rule has helped me through my most intense DMT and psilocybin trips. I recommend sharing it with friends and reminding people of the rule while they are coming up on what could potentially be a high dose. Giving in to the trip is when things can turn very ugly and I have had very little troublesome trips since taking this advise on board. There are many other ways to train the mind to accept strong hallucinogenic states with ease, but this is a good starting point for the novice.

Your trip sounds very intense, did you have any entity contact during this experience?

For me, mushroom trips are forever different. Some trips have similar aspects to others, but no one trip is ever the same. Even when I have powdered a bag of dry mushrooms for even dosing, the same dose on an empty stomach one week will give completely different effects the next. This ranges from intensity, bodyload, visual distortion, entity contact etc.

Early last week I ate 3 tiny pins from the bush and struggled with entity contact of an evil nature throughout the trip. The trip started with creatures not unlike those in TOOL film clips and then evolved into evil gremlin like critters that were annoying and somewhat frightening. Although pins through to mushrooms that are just breaking the veil are the most potent, I usually dose a fair bit above this level as that is where I feel most comfortable. This is the first trip this season where I had entity contact of any kind. The OEV's were no where near as powerful as those from strong tea's I dosed earlier in the season (these felt like 4 hour DMT trips), but that just shows the range of different trips one can have on these mushrooms.

Interesting how you noted the calming effects of smoking the joint. I find joints to be a valuable asset for high dose psychedelic trips, just be careful with potent bud or hash and stay away from bongs as the super quick hit can be detrimental more than anything. Just note that smoking Mary Jane has been the tipping point for many peoples bad trips over the years. Everything in moderation as they say ;)

I recommend only doing high doses of any psychs, especially mushrooms, with very good friends and in a nice relaxing/safe setting.

Thanks for sharing that with us student

All the best for your next trip
