2004 Mushroom season( Victoria)

endlesseulogy: it would take some attention from the user of the hair drier. I wouldnt recomend just leaving it on lying on the floor or something. Central Heating on the other hand..... is REAL good =)
 
hairdryer isn't the best way to dry them, nor would i recommend central heating... heat is likely a catalyst for the oxidisation of psilocybin/psilocin.

24 hours in front of a strong fan (mushrooms laying on newspaper) and then a day or 2 in a sealed container partially filled with dessicant (making sure the mushrooms aren't in contact with any dessicant, or anything which may absorb the dessicant (eg. tissue/paper)... be creative :p

that should leave them cracker dry... they'll SNAP when u try to bend the stems a lil.
 
V. Nice pics mongman. Thats a nice patch u have there.
Could somebody post a pic of what the brising would look like? Thanks in advance :)

by the way mong, pics 7 and 8 dont work ;)

edit: ok now just number 9 wont work! =D
 
^^Yeah mongman, they look awesome. So jealous right now! :) How long would it have taken them to reach that size? Do they grow very quickly?

Oh, and thanks for the faster server, on 56K half the pics on the other wouldn't even fully load.
 
BlazinMarty: You can see the bruising on the caps of some of the photos I posted earlier. All the picts should be OK now, I was in the middle of uploading them when you looked at them.

Hardicus: Chears =) I stumbled accross the patch this morning when I was going out to take the first few photos you saw. (They come from different patches)

Munted: I usualy visit a patch once a week. This seems to be about right when you just pick the mature ones and leave the rest. It can vary but my rational is that if some grow old then just sacrafic them to the patch and you wont regret it next season when more pop up.
As for the server Im running that mycelia.no-ip.org server on my computer and it only has 128 kbit upstream bandwidth so from now on I will post on the other site from now on.
 
When you guys are storing your mushrooms, do you chop them up or keep them as they are? I've heard negative things about both;

Chopped - oxidises faster
Whole - absorbs more moisture

What do you do?
 
i chop mine mainly for dosing convenience.

Worth noting, i ate some chopped up shrooms from a year ago a couple weeks back, no noticable potency loss :)
 
hhaha, until the bag gets a hole in it.... (I just relised one of my zip-locs has puntured) then the mushrooms start to go soft again!!!
 
How long does it take before the bruising comes up on the stem? and is it easily identifyible compared to the bruising on Galerina? Ive read that the bruising on the Galerina is a redish brown colour but can sometimes be confused with the bruising on a P. sub.
 
DayTrippa: yes it is easy to make the mistake with a Galerina to start with. Read a lot of liturature and get an experienced shroomer to go out with you for a few times before doing it yourself.
Blueing is no way to ID a P. Sub. there are some many factors I take into account when I ID mushrooms they include size/colour/bruising/environment/other mushrooms in the area/shape/what trees are around (some types drop sap they dont like)/the different stages of development I can see the mushrooms in etc.
 
The bruising is not always the same. It's due to the amount of psilocin in the mushrooms, and as you would expect, this is not always the same. Some mushrooms (particularly younger ones) will bruise very heavily after even a couple of minutes. Decent sized mature ones will often have signs of bruising already before you pick them, whereas old, drier mushrooms will not bruise particularly obviously. Either way, your best bet is to nik/scratch the stem, as sub stems are white, so the blue bruising shows up very obviously.

If it's not noticeably blue, don't eat it, be safe.

I'll take photos of bruising next time I pick some subs up.

As for chopping/not chopping, i chop, because it's the best way to determine a safe and reliable dose. If you have all your mushrooms (which vary widely in their potency) all chopped up and mixed together, then each dose of the same size will be pretty close in potency to the last. Personally i'd prefer safe doses to a little bit of oxidation any day.

Seeing as how the stem bruises so significantly, and that bruising indicates the presence of psylocin/psylocybin, does that mean eating the stem would also be a good idea?

I can hear that rain out there. . .it's pissing down, and the mornings are getting so damn cold! I am a happy man indeed, I just can't wait to get out there hunting again, damn work and the restrictions of daily life! :p
