In adelaide showers are forecasted for next monday tuesday and wednesday, would then be a good time to go hunting?
hey hey
Im down in the SE suburbs of Melbourne and looking to go picking im new to picking so not sure where to look and when?? is it still in season atm?
Sup people, first post!
Anyway I'm in Australia and it's winter here at the moment, and hence, mushie season
I've been meaning to go on a hike up a bushy mountain near where I live but just need to know the ideal time to do it to find the mushrooms. I know that after rain is a good idea, but how long after rain? Straight after? While it's raining?
It hasn't rained here in about a week so am I better off waiting for it to rain again or what?
Generally it's been pretty cold and miserable here (canberra) lately, and we have had a lot of rain so far in the past couple of months.
Also not entirely sure where I should be looking on the ground. We don't have any cow pastures around here so the cow-shit option doesn't apply. Would around the bases of trees be the go? If so, what kind of tree or does it not matter?
Sorry for asking so many questions but it's really cold and I want to spend as little time trudging around outside as possible
Any help appreciated!
COULD THIS BE THE ANSWER TO ALL OUR DREAM of night shrooooommmiiinnngg. I think this technique would work directly on the shrooms themselves....lol...thankyou Mr forensic police scientist...We couldn't have done better if we tried

Not all molecules exhibit chemiluminescence. But mix psilocin with acidic potassium permanganate and psilocybin with ruthenium and magic happens.
Anastos says the technique can detect extremely low levels of psilocin, making it the most sensitive test there is and the first time chemiluminescence has been applied to magic mushrooms.
"In the literature there's quite a few pieces published on the analysis of psilocin and psilocybin in magic mushrooms but the analysis time is quite long in some of them," she says.
"We wanted a rapid method to detect these alkaloids. To date it's the most sensitive method published."
Anastos soaked ground up samples of mushroom in methanol and separated the chemical components using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) before running the chemoluminescence test.
^ Yeah - thanks Nicole.... bitch.
