Hey there all hope everyone is having a good time foraging like i did today! Was beautiful! Walked through Lane Cove park checking every mulch bed i could find. Found hundreds of shrooms! but sadly didnt find any actives... I have a few that id still like to know a bit about though, some very interesting specimens. Here are photos etc.
First off are the Stroph's. Damn things were everywhere growing on wood chip mulch beds at the base of the valley in plain view of the public area in the park. Spent some time looking through to find any stray subs but alas. Someone had already been there too, as many patches of them had their caps taken off.
Also an unidentified shroom on the left there. Have photos of that later.
notice one in the above picture is going furry, and nearby i found a couple of strange furballs. Photos of that are below:
...and more strophs. (im thinking these are stropharia anyway, please let me know if they're not).
Next up are these LBMs. I have no idea what these are so ill do my best for an ID Request 
Habitat: Growing on rotten wood in areas with lots of leaf debris.
Gills: Light tan brown, not attached to stem.
Stem: tan yellowy brown, dark brown where broken 0.5cm wide
cap: smooth with slightly raised centre. Was dry to touch. Tan brown getting darker toward the centre.
Spore print: didnt print
Bruising: none apparent.
Location : Sydney, Lane Cove National Park
Also found these they look similar though i cant say they are definately the same species...
Details for this ID is the same as aboce except they were found in a grassy area near rotting logs.
Next up are these babies. I have no idea what these are never seen them before. If anyone can shed some light on these i would be greatly appreciative.
These were growing on woodchips. Not sure what else i can
put in for that 
And this thing:
This was just resting on the ground liek someone had chucked it there.
Gonna continue this in next post. If my computer crashes and i have to type this again i wouldnt be happy lol

The furry mushrooms are being attacked by Spinellus fusiger.

Yeah i didnt think so. The white marks on the cap were going inward instead of outward. Russula looks right. Thanks
The star fungi is Aseroe rubra i think. Found it here: www.health.qld.gov.au/.../stinkhornfungi.asp

The orange ones are either Tubaria or Galerina and the puff ball is a Lycoperdon.

Yup, the red ones are Leratiomyces ceres (=Stropharia aurantiaca), the orange ones Tubaria and/or Galerina, the fluffy thing is the pin mould Spinellus fusiger, the gross red tentacle thing is the Stink Horn Aseröe rubra, the red one with the white gills is one of the various red Russula, and I dunno about the PuffBall, as there is something screwy with the resolution of the projector that the monitor is being projected from, so I can't really see it, but Alan knows what he is talking about, so listen to him.
Good job on ID's everyone.

*double post senses tingling*
Yeah. Im starting to believe they dont actually exist. Like, anywhere. This whole thing is a ruse. There is no such thing as Psilocybin!

Also thanks everyone for all your help!
      
@Dizzwizzle - Cheers, im determined to find these things. By laws of probability, if i explore every mulch bed in Australia then i might find one... one day

i cant tell if you're being sarcastic  
Ive looked around in the eucalypts quite a lot, so far have only found Corts and Galerinas, but they do seem to be good places for them. The fallen bark keeps the soil or whatevers underneath nice and moist. Sometimes see shrooms at the base of them up to a couple of weeks after the last rain.
If thats the case I will keep looking then! 
Went back to the park today to scope out any more mulched areas that i can check next time the rains come. Found a few, but all covered in Stropharia. Many were covered in Spinellus fusiger. I hope this parasite doesnt attack subs, they're scarce enough..
