Our no ID rule isn't to do with legality so it's still not allowed. Go ask on shroomery, they have a much larger and more experienced community when it comes to mushrooms :)

Ah, my bad. Cheers! :)

Does anyone else feel that even if they find nothing on their hunts, it's still worth while? I can't remember the last time I went for a 4 hour walk in my local reserve just for enjoyment, but I've come to realise that I enjoy the sights, sounds, scents and sensations just as much as the fruits of my efforts. Maybe it's just because I'm usually pretty smoked, but I feel an awesome connection with nature. Almost like I could be a botanist, or something else just as fancily named. :D
 
^ I've only been on a few hunts, but they were with my best friend and brother and even when they were fruitless it was still fun to get out and looking and we usually had some good conversations and good music on our drives to and from the sites. :)
 
What's some good tips for keeping your special spot fruitful?

I've been going back to a spot that went crazy last year, but even in these great conditions it's nowhere near as packed as it was.

I do the usual button mash tap, and break them off so the roots stay in the ground. Aswell as stomping on the old rotten ones I don't pick (now I think about it I left heaps there). But it seems my spot just ain't what it used to be.

And I know for a fact that no one else has been there.
 
Just leave the pins to spread more spores? I'm sure if I used the wrong term Sustanon will correct me, maybe the mycelin?
I don't know, I'm not a mycologist, but if you want to keep your spot fruitful then cut all the mushrooms you pick, leave spores to grow, and be careful where you step.
 
^ I've also been cutting the caps from the stems, placing the stems upright on a4 paper, been getting heaps of spore prints, then taking the paper out with me and burying it, oviously in spots that usually contains shrooms.

Has this worked for anyone?

I usually have them drying not far from the lounge fire, would that destroy the spores?

Dont place them on A4 paper! The spores will get stuck to the paper and when u scrape them itll fall in with it. Use foil or glass. Putting the whole spore print into teh ground is a silly idea. If it does actually does start producing mycelium it will have genetic deficiency because of the spore variations in it! So no it wont work, there are other better ways you can go about it. And lastly fire (heat) will definitely reduce potentcy of the active compounds, I wrote up a method in the thread previously if you search my name regarding the best drying method. To the above poster, they use a sterile barrell and syringe like youd use to inject IM.
 
My mates found some tuesday that just passed. Not many, about 30-40 :)

been raining heavilly since then, it should be in full bloom by the weekend :D :D :D
 
Went to a forestation of the southern region of Adelaide earlier this morning, was a beautiful; cool, damp and frost covered terrain..
In search for the golden subs, i did not find, the areas looked seriously ambushed from fellow hunters... the morning certainly proved that the climate is correct and this season would have begun a very short time ago.
happy hunting
 
just a quick question for the experienced pickers out there.
i hope to do my first hunt in SW WA this season, and i'm wondering what people favour as the best container to store fungus for collecting and carrying them home?
i'm thinking a paper bag, possibly inside another sturdier box or something for the ride home? i know that plastic bags aren't suitable.
here's hoping the psilocybin gods will smile upon me.
cheers!

I prefer trailers ;) haha you can use plastic but they arn't that ideal or even paper bags (they can get wet and break easy). It doesnt really matter what you use Spacejunk as long as it's avoiding high temps, moisture and away from light (Light breaks down the alkaloids). You will be fine carrying them home, its amazing what mushrooms can cope with regarding their environments. Good luck with your first hunt:) Make sure you post some pictures of gods beautiful creation:)
 
Found some subs in the northern suburbs of South Australia today on my hunt. I was searching for around 3 hours with no luck when I spotted a tiny, tiny cluster of them by a river. I picked a few to get spore prints and be sure but the rest I left to grow for another week or two. :) Also, I found a fair few amount of orange mushrooms that resemble amanita muscaria quite closely. The young caps are deep with white spots on them and the older ones are a darker orange/closer to red in the centre, the cap is flatter, and the white dots are mostly worn away. Awaiting spore prints now. :)

The season seems to be getting underway here!
 
The best season for Psilocybes in a decade, here in Melbourne. The Muscaria season has just kicked in, too, over the past week and a bit. All species are now officially everywhere. I've eaten about two ounces of 2012 shrooms, dried, in the past three weeks. Preparing six medium Amanita caps for consumption right now. I'm thinking of experimenting with muscimol and DMT and/or muscimol and DXM.

Also very interested in learning more about: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panaeolus_cyanescens. They are apparently the most widespread psychedelic fungi in Australia, covering practically the entire continent - yet I've never encountered them or heard of anyone else eating them. What's up with that? There's all these people looking for subs and nobody is looking for pan cyans. You inexperienced hunters, down on your luck this season, might be walking past pans without even thinking of checking them out. In fact, you almost definitely are.

Pan Cyans grow abundantly in all states/islands of Australia and New Zealand. They are, from what I can gather, the second most common psychedelic mushroom found in Australia - behind P Subs. If anybody has any experience hunting for these mushrooms, I'd be very interested to hear about it. Apparently they are also more potent than p subs/p cyans, making them - I think - the most potent psychedelic mushroom in Australasia? It doesn't make sense that we aren't looking for them.

Oh, wow. I'd never heard of them, but I've DEFINITELY picked them before. On my first hunt I picked a few because I thought they looked cool, and I wanted them for practice with spore prints. I then threw them out...but I know for a fact I walked past many of them today, too. You're right, I had absolutely no idea...will be picking them from now on! Thanks!
 
If you search (try the scientific name or 'blue meanie') you'll find mention of them in previous threads
 
The Amanita's were likely Xanthocephalas, which are NOT active as far as I'm aware, but I'm still doing some research. :)

I always used to use paper bags and never had any problems, when I was in High School I used to favour those brown bags that you would use to get lunch orders from the canteen. Used to fill up tonnes of those suckers on the walk home... Good times.
