Which brings me to my 2nd question

I ate field mushrooms (the white ones you can buy in Coles) a few years back and got violently ill. I was led to believe this was because of eucalyptus oil contaminating them.

Is there any truth to this (that eucalyptus oil can contaminate mushrooms)?

It could be a number of things...

Are you sure you identified them properly?

Eucalyptus oil will contaminate anything if it touches but do you mean it was contaminated in the wild from eucalypt or poured on it? I don't understand the question... Does sound like bullshit to me though

I have read literature on people having stomach upsets and even tripping off normal shrooms they bought from the super market. I'll try and find it later tonight and post it up. I think they looked into it and found out some normal shrooms can have high alcaloid levels hence the effect. Baeocystin is also known to upset the stomach.

You could have also been ill from a virus, pollution or unclean food preperation etc. and then you ate the shrooms so you blamed them for the illness.

It's really an open playing field as to answers for that one mate

Hope that helps a bit but i'm sure it will just spur on more questions lol

Psilo
 
Sorry my question wasn't put forward very well

I meant to ask can shrooms growing under a eucalyptus tree absorb eucalyptus oil from the bark / soil / leaves they are growing on and become toxic because of this?

And by toxic I mean make you really sick.

I'm no scientist but i pick shrooms pretty much soley from under eucalypt trees growing in eucalypt chip and i can assure you they grow on the decomposting material and don't absorb the oil to make you sick.

That's the last thing you gotta worry about mate

Worry about look alikes, main cause of serious illness and death.
 
Went looking Saturday morning and again today, at the local track reserve near a creek, on Saturday saw nothing at all and today just some really red mushrooms and some dark greyish ones with some like white spots, total bumout.
 
Hey guys I've been looking around my local area for shrooms this last week, and I haven't found a single one... Not even yucky in-active ones.. I thought the places I was looking would be great... Damp, leave-litter, bark, etc.. Lots of kangas though? Would they happen to eat them? :( If so, damn them! LOL jk
 
My area doesnt even have many, inactives either. . . . give it another week i reckon, just not cold enough i think.

Well, its still pretty dry out there... so they are not out in force yet.

I did find a couple of hundred around the place, the patches are still quite small. Where one can usually find shopping bags full I have found 20 to 30 mushrooms. Heaps of pinning though! I'm worried allot of pins will die unless we get more rain quick smart!

Just wait until it gets a bit wetter, you know it's about right when the wood chips don't look bleached like bone but are more brown in color (indicative of water content). Also your feet should sink slightly into the mulch when the conditions are just right.

Keep patient people and if we continue to get rain everything will be OK.
 
This high pressure system is screwing us over big time!

We've had bugger all rain for this time of the year. Hopefully the night fog will give all the pins enough moisture to hold out till thursday/friday for the incoming cold front.

We've got a few days of clear blue skies ahead by the looks of it so fingers crossed...
 
They are out there people, picked up a 100 or so on the weekend. But as mongman says the patches are not huge yet. Remember the season doesn't truly kick off till June so there is a little more waiting to be done yet.
 
Fly Agaric mushrooms, in my opinion, should never be compared or confused with truly psychedelic mushrooms.

The Fly Agaric (genus Amanita) should be heated to to cause decarboxylation of ibotenic acid into muscimol which is a selective GABA agonist. Unlike psilocybin containing mushrooms such Psilocybe subaeruginosa (pictured in the thread above) the effects from the Fly Agaric is more of a deliriant.

From my experience with the substance when younger one eats it only to laps into a confused state before drifting to sleep. About 1 hour later you wake up having no idea what or how you got there or what is going on. Some visual disturbances are apparent but not in the same way as with tryptamines, at most some movement of grainy textures such as polished wood etc.

I never found the experience to be very fun, and it can be extremely dangerous if your not in the care of someone who knows what and how much of the substance you have had. In addition some Amanita's are extremely toxic and can cause death after consumption of small amounts.
