Mushroom season 2010

The mushroom which seek you is called Amanita Muscaria aka fly agaric. It should appear around the Sydney area in mid Autumn and will be very common in and around pine trees (especially plantations) up until roughly July. It associates with various deciduous and coniferous trees. It has a symbiotic relationship with certain tree species (most commonly pine in Aus) and the best way to find it in Australia, is to find pinus radiata in autumn and search around the base of these trees.

Amanita Muscaria are always fruiting a few weeks prior to the southern psilocybe species (P. subaeruginosa) and they tend to die off with the early winter frosts, where as the psilocybes will usually proliferate into mid winter.

They aren't as common in your area as they are down south, but I have found them as far north as the Qld boarder with the correct conditions.

Just remember that these are a deliriant psychedelic and are unrelated to psilocybes. Correct preparation is key to a good trip on this species.

You most likely wont find any this year, but every now and then, I have been surprised by random Amanita Muscaria finds in both Australia and NZ (North Island) over summer.

All the best
 
^ these little critters?

Deliriant hallucinogens aren't my cup of tea but some people like them :)

Just a reminder that there's to be no discussion of exactly where to find currently growing shrooms. Identifying a general area such as South-East-QLD is permissable but let's not get any more specific that that please.

Edit: dammit super-psilo beat me to it!
 
Tihehehe

As belarki mentioned, there is no need to give away exact locations. All the psychoactive fungi grow across large area's of the continent, A. muscaria most likely growing in a larger area than any other psychoactive species. The trick to finding any mushroom is knowing the habitats in which they live.

The bright red caps of A. muscaria can be spotted from a car at highway speeds. You will commonly find rings of them around pine tree's.

I found my first cubes ever earlier this week.
Around the newcastle region.
I was so psyched, can't wait to find some more.

Cool. If you were in a country where it was legal to do so you could make some prints and grow your own. Here you can only study them under a microscope.

All the info for that is at the Shroomery for those in lucky Countries.
 
^ you could probably write a thesis (wouldn't suprise me if it's already been done) on links between religion and psychedelics... cactii, ayahuasca and ergot (poisoning) would all play prominent roles as well mushies :) Not to mention things like ibogaine, 5-MeO-DMT, & other exotic hallucinogens?

I've always found getting a clean print from a wild shroom very hit and miss.
 
I too noticed a few mushrooms here and there in the last couple weeks, but no actives to speak of. I never bothered to check any reliable spots but I can say from experience that while after some rains you can notice inactives popping up throughout the year, subaeruginosa tend to only fruit during Autumn and Winter.
 
My hubby saw actives growing near his work a couple weeks ago. He said they were pretty dried up and weather damaged, but the to find some at this time of the year totally spun him out.
