Mushy season opener 2006

Please, no more mushroom ID pictures unless you know what it is.

Posts like "I'm a complete noob is this what I'm looking for?" equate to "This may or may not kill me, should I eat it?". This is not a question that is appropriate to ask on Bluelight. It is false harm reduction to allow this kind of question, because the only acceptable answer is "if you cannot conclusively identify the mushroom, do NOT eat it".

Online mushroom ID from photographs has the potential to be extremely dangerous. Take a spore print, read books on the subject, and speak with experienced magic mushroom pickers in person where they can show you examples of the right kind of mushroom to look for. There are huge posts from last year containing photographs of confirmed "magic" mushrooms that you can use. I linked these threads on page 1 here.

As mentioned above, there is plenty of online access resources that are dedicated to the subject of mycology, with people who specialise in identifying mushrooms - such as The Shroomery.

People, before hunting, you first need to know the difference between Galarina's and Subaeruginosa's. DO YOUR RESEARCH!

Some oldies, but goodies:

Thought I'd just write up to tell ppl to NOT FUCKING RAPE PATCHES!! I swear...I find my first decent patch all year, and in a spirit of goodwill I leave a lot of them instead of stockpiling, come back next day and what the fuck?! Raped and pillaged. On another note, the subs I found were extrememly strong, ate six of them thinking it would be a mild trip but ended up in a heavy trip with a lot of poker machine style visuals going on in my head. :P

Peace Out
 
Isn't it also better to snip the stalks with scissors rather than ripping out the whole network of mycellium(?) under the ground? I'm sure I have read that this prevents more mushies fruiting from the same spot?
 
^^^
That's right, snip them or cut the stems with your thumb nail as you pick.

We have had a heap of cold nights in Melb lately, but fuck all rain. My patches are bone dry. Anyone had any luck here yet?
 
Weird bruising mushroom

Around my back garden , yes we back onto bush , ive found mushies that have a blue cap, Rusty-orange gills & spores ( from spore print ) , now the funny thing is these little guys bruise blue VERY quickly when handled. BUT the inside of the stem does not stain blue. Keep in mind the caps are blue & the stems are white. The gills taper upwards from the stem. ( sorry for no pics)

I have no idea what these guys are , they are everywhere! what i need to know is: Should the inside of the mushroom turn blue when handled ( only the outer layers of skin bruise blue.) AND could these mushrooms have bright navy blue caps & skin bruises blue due to the pine needles &/or the soil & its contence they are growing in?

any help much appreciated will try & upload pics soon.

Corsto.
 
Merged :/

Lets keep all the mushroom stuff together shall we. Don't forget we're not here to help you identify mushrooms you found in your backyard. We're not here to tell you if you can get fucked up on the plant you found on your way to school. Mushroom hunting is potentially dangerous if you don't know what your doing and if your coming online asking for ID's you obviously havn't done enough research. Find an experienced shroomer and don't take any chances with something that can do very bad things to you if you get it wrong.
 
im a landscaper n work about 2 hours south of perth. i figure that seein as im around garden beds n mulch all day i might come across some magic mushies. i was just wonderin if anyone has ever found magic mushies this much further north from balingup. im not asking for sources i just wantd a confirmation that they do grow further north. i was also wonderin if anyone can tell me wat species im most likely to find???

not sure what you've got, but it's not active. the blueing reaction in a magic reaction occurs as a reaction related to one of the active chemicals inside... it occurs throughout the entire mushroom (psilocin and psilocybin are present in fairly equal amounts in both the stem and cap).
 
i took these this morning in the outer eastern suburbs of melbourne. i'm new to mushrooms and this year will be my first year picking. i'm going to be going out with an experienced picker, but i couldn't wait so i went out this morning with the intention of taking photo's.

these were taken in a little hide-out area in a native reserve, the place was trashed with cans and plastic sheets all over the place, little respect.

anyhow, what do you think? i'm not sure whether they're galarina's or not, so i didn't touch.

forgive my post, i'm just excited to be hunting.



photo's
 
its a little hard to tell my first thought was that they arent subs and i think this is right, but there do seem to be some blue tinges on some of them..

i also dont think they're galerinas because there is no ring around the stem which you''d find on the galerinas along with some black bruising..

summary; dont know what they are but i wouldnt eat them
 
nice one dood good to see they actually are around... hopefully thats just a sign of things to come.

maybe a late start will mean a late finish?
 
endlesseulogy:
Nice find, but you are completely raping your patch. Take my advice of cutting them at the stem, not ripping them up, roots and all.

Take a little extra time and you'll appreciate it in a few months .
 
i normally do cut them, however when i dont, i snip the mycelium off and burry it back where it came from, this way, the fibers will reattach to the network and the problem is solved :) I like taking some mycelium off site so i can place it in other areas and spawn other potential patches. This way it keeps everything in balance and ensures quality mushroom patches in years to come.
 
Really? How much luck have you had with 'replanting' the mycellium to other locations?

I am not doubting you, i just have never heard of this sucessfully working before.
 
There is no 100% guarantee it will work.. there is a chance though. Its happened on a few locations and a friend of mine has subs growing in his garden due to this method. If you have the right nutrients and ground conditions the chances are high. Also there will be spores on the mycelium which may one day form.
