yeh, they went down well, five of us had a very interesting night, I laugh because my friends who are into x were sold talcum powder at an inflated price that same night and we had a blast for free. I suppose thats the power of nature...

The rain has stopped and all the lovely subs i left to rot have got crispy dry in the ground, and as such i have a couple of questions... Are they any good to pick after a day or two extra in the ground? Can i just follow the rules for dry dosage with these? Or not even bother? I'm pretty sure they would have dropped thier spores. Does mycellium/fungi thats been partially dried like this still swell up and fruit normally after being owned by our solar master in such a way?
Can anyone tell me much about this, do they deteriorate too much to use? i have what is now about 28gms almost fully dried.
Please forgive my lack of knowledge in biology haha <3
Either way, mushroom god, bless us with precipitation!
Hope everyones having as good of a Sub-Season as i!

I'm still searching in the Northern Beaches area of Sydney, hoping to find some P. Subs.
Been looking in mulch/wood chip heavy areas, under pines and in eucalyptus forests.
So far I've come across these:
Amanita Muscaria:
...and these one's I need an ID for, don't think they're psilocybes though.
About 8cm in length, white stalk, black gilled hymenium and spore print black/purple. Found them on what appeared to be dog shit on some buffalo grass out the front of a neighbor's house.
Would be nice to get a possible ID on those :P
Cheers

Are you sure about that Alan? the Coprinellus have a caramel cap, the one's in my picture were distinctly grey, didn't find any colour on them. Unless it's a sub-species?

Yes I think 80% chance thats it. If not its a closely related species. There are several species that look like that but can't be told apart without a microscope.

They fade to grey as they dry out and get old. If you found them when young they would be caramel colored.

Thanks for the clear up Alan:)
Found a few more mushies yesterday, obtaining spore-prints now as I am at work.
I'll upload pictures in a few hours when I get home.
One of them looks very much like the Psilocybe subaeruginosa, thick white stem, caramel/flat cap and white gills on hymenium.
Lot's of activity in Sydney it seems.

Picked some a.muscaria today, had no luck tracking down subs. Going to have a little adventure in music with the a.muscaria tonight I think.
Oh how the days go...

Here we go, the other two species I found.
Both were close together in the backyard, under a massive eucalyptus tree and beside an old unused brick BBQ.
Grass is overgrown and soil is hard around that area.
The one on the right produced a very pale/white spore print, the one on the left either left absolute white or no spores overnight.
Neither showed bruising when pinched/plucked.
Small one is about 8cm for scale.
I have a hunch the small one may be a cybe, would like some feedback

Nope, neither.. if you're really interested in the small one, get a few better photos or at least describe the gills, the stem, its exact substrate etc. as written here and if you're having trouble with the print, add a few drops of water on the cap and put it under a glass to raise humidity.
but at a glance it doesn't look like a sub.

wow... them some ugly ass subs. You double checked the top bunch? seems weird they're so caespitose while the others are gregarious. And you'd think by that stage they'd have blued more.
Anyway good to hear things are heating up... (or cooling down, whatever..) Might try locally this weekend.

They wont fruit while things are crispy will they?
I have found many many local patches but they're all full of crisped mush, is it bad to snip them once they have crisped so much and presumably dropped their spores? ha ha, i was hesitant to take them, but i am sure they all look tasty good, think i will go for a gander tomorrow.
The forecast says no real rain in NSW except for you lucky wet ducks up in the hunter region for this week(and even then i think its quite meager). I want tasty fresh fruit dammit!
Very tasty mushrooms these subs 
I like my subs in peach tea, what do you guys like to do with them? so far this season I've had many different flavours of brew, had them in a delicious chip and gravy sandwich and mixed them into fried rice and of course greedily stuffed them into my gob raw  .

If your worried about the patch, just snip them off with a pair of scissors, don't worry about letting them drop their spores, they'll have done heaps of that by the time you get to them anyway. Just make sure they're big enough that the cap has broken away from the stem.
but yeah they tend to black and mold, not really good... if they dry nice without changing colour tho they're fine.
They only really fruit when there's decent humidity and rain - but they'll last up to about a week if they make it to full size before they dry out.
