Well I just got back from a hunt in my old home town. Pine-forrest country (sorry mongman

). And all I can say is that that was the most AMAZING hunt I've ever been on.
While the booty wasn't that spectacular (~50), the experiance was 'phaw'!!!
For over an hour I didn't find ANY subs. I was becoming devastated. It was PRIME mushroom territory. I just wish I had a camera to show you guys.
It was like a nightmare to begin with. Surrounded buy every mushroom type except subs. The thing was, the 'look-alike' mushrooms weren't like your normal look-alikes in the city... THEY LOOK EXACT!!! 110% EXACT untill you looked at the gills/stem, which were much too light and brown.
You guys have NO IDEA how similar they were. Usually after looking around you get your eye in for what ISN'T a sub, but for over an hour i was looking at these fucking mushrooms, doubting my ID'ing skills, which I am very confident of. I was walking around for a while with some in my hands, WAITING for them to turn blue. But alas, the mass amount of these bastards were not what I was after.
After treaking through some very thick pine-forrest i came to a scrub/pine-forrest boundary where JACKPOT! i found ALL my subs, bar 3. It was really weird. Has me quite puzzled. And these subs were BEAUTIFUL; stems no shorter than 10cm, caps ~3-5cm. Undamaged... beautiful
Some of the othter species were IMACULATE! There was this one (mongman, you would have had a haemerrage) that (i kid-you-not) stood ~35-45cm, had a pure white stalk that was about 5cm thick and the cap was a ver shallow 'w' shape and was pitch black.
Also, these tiny little one that grew on logs were ELECTRIC blue and had an almost black dot in the centre. They looked like little eye balls. They even had tyep of water covering, making the effect look even more real!
totally amazing. Shits all over city-picking. Gonna head out again tomorrow and go the other way. I need more pairs of eyes as there is just WAY too much area to cover!
