 New Zealand Season 2009
#10185352 - 04/17/09 02:05 PM (3 years, 1 month ago) |

Found these in my garden this morning. I'm pretty certain of they are psilocybe subaeruginosa but I've only ever hunted weraroa noveazelandiae. So I'd love a postive id before I become that weirdo watering his garden at night.
That guy on the right is suspect. He's what usually grows in my garden which is why I never took a serious look last year.
I know it's a tiny start but it's a start.
Good hunting everyone!

I can't tell for sure about that red one, but with the print and the bruising on the stems...that top one looks awfully promising

Because, at my green stage in hunting, I love heaps of details I reckon others might be keen to know too. I've found two clusters growing in my garden in 2 places about 1m apart; divided by grass. One is a drift wood based mulch (many inches deep) The other used to be aswell but we converted it to a flower garden with compost and cocobean husks. Which is an amazing mulch but I don't think it had anything to do with these mycelia. Makes your garden smell like chocolate!
Both beds have been dry for exactly one week. Heaps of dew in the mornings but no frost since early last week. The last night was cold as but the couple before were mild enough to be outside in shorts.
I reckon a week after Monday's rains (27th) we'll be seeing alot of posts.

Most of the pics you posted are Psilocybe subaeruginosa, the red one in the last pic is Leratiomyces ceres. Its presence is a good indicator that the habitat is good for other wood chip mushrooms such as the active Psilocybes.
Congratulations on making the first find from NZ this year!
Approximately where in NZ are you located?

Thanks Alan, I've had my shroom googles on for weeks. Didn't think I'd find them so close to home, pretty chuffed.
Other than the obvious red lera ceres, thanks for that info. Was any of these others suspect?
Sorry it's a bit blurred but this is the mulch.

Mean! Looking good, I've been out hunting the last few weekends and scouting areas but no luck yet.
Too much good weather still, this coming week is meant to bring a little moisture but you're right, the week after should be when it starts. What suburb in Wellington are you in? Have you watered that garden a lot recently?

Only this morning actually cuz I never thought to look here. Especially since it's been so dry.
I'm a ways N or Wellington but not too far like say Levin. Somewhere in there. Same weather, less wind.

Nice finds with the subs dude!
I've been keeping my eyes out up in Auckland but I haven't done enough travelling to find the right spots. I'm guessing within the month we'll be finding them here and there if we're lucky. Bought myself some new LED torches, and hopefully moving out to the Waitakeres very soon! Should be a great years haul!

I've been trying find a timeline for P.sub growth but I can't fine anything interms of time. Is it a week from pinhead to full cap, ball park?
The subs I've found are all so small I'm wondering how long I should wait before I start picking? Should I be watering them, caring for them, singing to them off key?

To my surprise, a friend has found a nice collection of subs here in Christchurch. The season has hardly begun really, considering we have had below average rainfall for April so far. Though this batch was old and starting to degrade, so these must of popped up from the heavy rainfall 2 weeks back.

Hi mr extreme, congratulations! I believe you have opened the season in Auckland. What was the substrate you found them on? I have been looking almost everyday in Auckland and I haven't found them, yet?

Nice picks so far. Looks like Auckland is doing just as well as any place. I've seen subs and gyms all over my area but haven't had to pick any since I've been picking 1g (dried) every day from my own gardens for the last week.
Can anyone tell me the shelf life of cracker dried subs sealed in glass with silica?

Ive stored up to 6 months with no noticeable potency loss or mold infestation I'd say airtight probably a year max to reap maximum potency.

Just been for a walk today, seen about 5 different types of mushrooms springing up all over the place!
I'd say after this week of rain and once the temperature drops we'll be right into it.

It's barely rained at all this season and it's been really mild. I don't want to jinx anything but I'm pleasantly baffled.
Anyone had much success with the dosage calculator? Reckon there's a handicap due to first grow potency?

Nice pics mr extreme,
Psilocybe aucklandii always fruits directly from clay soil, never from wood, here are some images of my finds of P. aucklandii from previous seasons.
    
Your mushrooms are definately an active Psilocybe species but I don't think its P. aucklandii.

Went out for a big hunt out at Woodhill today but only found a few very small aucklandii + a lot of different other ones.
Just looking for a possible ID, I dont have a camera but for anyone searching out there before im sure they'd know what im describing.
{Dark brown top, small nipple, thin stem, grows abundantly} species?
Also {White in middle going to brown on the outsides,no nipple, thin stem, short, also grows abundantly. Any possibly IDS?

That doesn't sound like Psilocybe aucklandii. You should get a camera so you can show us what you are talking about. If it doesn't have a purple-brown spore print and bruise blue where damaged, don't eat it.

Wellingtonian here
Well, I've got a spot already, had a few hauls reported by friends a couple weeks ago now... went to the botanical gardens a week ago, round the kids playground... not much though. I saw quite a few that LOOKED like subs, but didn't bruise at all, so I just left em.
mod edit: No asking for exact locations.

Anyone recommend anywhere round the hutt region? I was thinking of Mt. Climbie...
Mt Climbie? I've spent 20years in the Hutt valley and never heard of that place. Where is it? Bot gardens is far too dodgy for me...

wellington hunter reporting in. had a little look around town and also checked out the town belt pine forest out by mount victoria. saw a few little amanitas and little else - it's a pretty cool walk though.
i'm thinking of checking out karori or maybe te aro next. i also might have a little look around the bot gardens seeing as i haven't visited them yet and i've heard they are amazing.

Just checked Te Aro today, just got home from it. Nothing around, a few LBMs and some little red mushrooms but not a lot.
Here are the ones my mate found on the West Coast, look like subs! He said they are bruising on the stems blue. Ignore the white ones, I've told him to chuck them away.

Ah okay, good to know. I'll tell him to keep a better look out. Should he be looking for subaeruginosas in the West Coast, SI?
Just went for a hunt in bot gardens after saying I wouldn't, nothing around but some interesting mushrooms on a dead tree and an absolute SHITLOAD of little browns absolutely everywhere. There were literally thousands of them all over the place.

Hey! I am so excited. I have been trying to find psylocibe in Auckland for years (2005)and this is the first time I found more than one or two, mainly because I didn't know anyone to ask where to find them.
I am pretty sure they are subs, can you help me to identify them?
I am doing a print that I will post tomorrow.
I found this in central Auckland.

Those are probably Psilocybe subaeruginosa, make sure they all stain blue.

Hey all hows it going, hopefully the hunting is going well... the weather has been pretty good for it.
Anyway I went for my first hunt yesterday afternoon, found a fairly sizable patch of P.subaeruginosa but didnt pick as I'm cautious. However returned early this morning to pick up my first subs of the season.
Good luck and happy hunting.

Hey guys, I found this today, I know its very small and I should've left it but it had fallen over, maybe eaten by bugs, there was more where I found it so I just took this one cause they were all tiny. Looking for some ID as to whether its good or not. Sorry I have no idea how to make the pics small and then be enlarged =\

Hello! Found these today.. Hoping somebody can just clarify for me what the below type are. In the the top image is the common Subaeruginosa type right.. and in the bottom image is the seemingly rare type that we come across scarcely.. Can somebody please clarify what this type is?
I've always assumed the top image to be "gold tops" and the bottom image "blue meanies"?
Much appreciated, Agradecimiento! Cheers!

Nice work on cultivating them. So there isn't a technical name for this species yet? 
Are they are slightly stronger than the Sub's?
Do you notice any significant difference in the type of trip?
Bombardment of questions haha, just intrigued. Thanks

Thanks, they are stronger than Psilocybe subaeruginosa but I suspect that is due to the very dense flesh making them weigh quite a lot more than P. subaeruginosa, no there is no species name for this mushroom yet!
I would describe these as extremely potent and would advise starting with a very low dose for a first time!

Hi potatonet, none to very few mushrooms in New Zealand in summer, our season goes from April through to August which is Autumn and Winter here!
You would be better of coming here in mid May!

If he's on the other side of the world and is meaning when his summer came, which in effect would be around about our June. Just a thought.

Hey there funky people, can i pester you with a few questions?
1) how come its better to go picking in the morning?
2) how many days of rain are needed to start growing?
3) will shrooms grow out of fallen leaves?
Got a couple mushrooms growing in my back yard but pretty sure they not active at all i'll post a picture of the mushrooms and my back yard so maybe you can give your 2 cents on if i will get any magical friends growing thanks

I think its time for me to venture into the western hills of Auckland for some proper hunting, but in the meantime I'd be oh so very grateful if someone could help me id these:
  
Which look to me like subs? they had a black spore print
as well as:
 
Which is a long shot but maybe aucklandii, they seem active though as they bruised blue, but they were growing in grass 
Sorry about shitty quality photos, plan on getting hold of a better camera

Yeah, I think I might just, the print turned out to be brownish, and after having a better look at the others left in the spot, I'm thinking the bruising was just dirt.

Hey I hear you guys talking about hunting on the West Coast (Auckland).. I've only ever hunted in suburban/park woodchip gardens, so I got no idea how to hunt out there. I presume it's still subs we're after, and in the pine forests out there (woodhill, riverhead)? Not in the bush right..
From what I remember though the ground in woodhill is basically really sandy dirt covered in pine needles. Doesn't seem that similar to woodchips heh, but I guess if there's rotting branches around that'd be about right.
Any help or tips without getting too specific would be much appreciated . I've had no luck with woodchip gardens yet this season.. My spots still too dry.

You would be very lucky to find Psilocybe subaeruginosa in the habitat you described, it's P. aucklandii you would most likely find, it grows from clay soil not wood chips!

I was recently shroom hunting in NZ for 6 days, and you would have to be blind not to find actives there at the moment. I covered the area of the North Shore in Auckland, and out to woodhill on the west coast, found abundant quantities of aucklandii and subs growing in plain sight. If only here in aussie was quite that good  Curse my profit hunting!

Hi again... and thanks for the reply to my first post.
This time I found a few subs (I believe so) and a couple suspicious ones that seem to stain blue. Could you tell me the name of this shroom?
I found them in Auckland central in the same spot as before in a public park on bark and wood chip.
 
Thanks!

Hi all. Found these growing at the base of a manuka tree in the forest (central Otago). The caps are between 1 and 4 cm, had a sticky top and it has a brown spore print. Any ideas?

Hi all. Have never had much (any) luck with hunting for shrooms but have always put in the effort. Just found these growing in some pine chips and leaves in a park in West Auckland. Any ideas what they are?

They are looking heaps dirty but first guess would be leratiomyces ceres. What colour is the spore print? Is there any bluing on the stipes?
I wouldn't be surprised if you found Subs in the same wood chips but I don't think they have come for you yet. There's a prolific amount of the same, this week, along Author St. might be worth another look soon.

I have been reading other posts and the ones in bottom right corner seem to be Rhizomorphs. Can anyone confirm this?

Hey there, picked some mushrooms today (in Dunedin) thought I'd check here to get a second opinion on what I've got. All the subaerunginosa's were found in pine woods, while the rest were on a nearby field. Perhaps I'm impatient but none appear to bruise any colour at all; a exciting blue or a worrying black. A strong meat like odor accompanies the red unknown ones in the last photos.
The first lot I believe to be Psilocybe subaeruginosa and were found on a very rotten log. Brown spore print. Slippery slimy cap!
 
Next up I have some old friends, I was under the impression they're Psilocybe semilanceata but after eating 12 of the same size and feeling nothing, I'm not too sure.
Lastly I found a large patch of these mushrooms. They didn't strike me as something I'd heard about being a Psilocybe but looked like they fit the profile. In case it's not obvious in the photos, they're very orange or red. Very thick stem. Can't seem to get a spore print.

No actives there I don't think Alias..
Looks like you're hunting for the right kinda colour and shape of cap for subs, but check out more finds in this thread for more of an idea of what the stems and gills should look like.
Can anyone clear up for me where to hunt for in Auckland other than woodchips? So far I have the impression that-
Subs - Woodchips / Pine forest floor
Weraroa - same as subs
Aucklandii - Clay soil (in pine forests? in native bush? anywhere?)
Anything I'm missing?
Had a big failure of a woodchip hunt yesterday.. mushrooms everywhere but no subs =\

That's a bit of a let down; second unsuccessful hunt and it's quite a drive too. At least I'm learning, I'll be a better forager in no time!
As a follow-up, some had bruised black (not blue or purple - unfortunately) on the stems where they'd been grabbed to be picked.
So now I've got a whole lot of worthless mushrooms to dispose of!

Alias, be careful, you should not eat any mushroom that you are not 100% certain of it's identification, it seems you have eaten 12 specimens of a Mycena species, these mushrooms will have a white spore print and do not resemble Psilocybe semilanceata which will have a purple brown print.
Some species in this genus contain toxins, and I think at least one species contains psilocin/psilocybin but not the one you have there, I hope you didn't eat any of the specimens in your first two images, I can't tell for certain but they look like a Galerina species, mushrooms in this genus can be deadly!

Found my first subs of the year in the North Shore.
Ate them shortly after in Mt Eden for a Full Moon drum circle in Takahi Reserve. Was very intense. The season in on!

No worries
Even though, to people outside NZ your place description probably wasn't that suggestive, to many people from NZ it would be obvious where you were talking about, I knew exactly the spot!

Thanks for the response inski, have not eaten any of the photographed mushrooms and disposed of them all earlier. Will not pick any more of them.
Bit of a scare with the toxic/deadly Mycena, going to play it a lot more carefully and visit here more regularly. I should be posting sometime later in the week regarding the results of another hunt. Will spend more time hunting for the more hidden ones that have obvious blue staining.
Will have to warn quite a few others who are interested in picking Psilocybe's, or our enthusiasm may lead to some unfortunate hospital visits.

That sucks man, but yeah that happened to me a few times last year. Found the best and biggest patch I've ever seen. It was in a quite well hidden area. Thought I'd just keep watching them grow and someone comes along and rips them all out when they are tiny pins. Not once but twice.
I've learnt my lesson with that patch and will harvest them the second i see them popping up this year...If I can bring myself to do it.

Yeah man, I had a patch of 100 odd pins growing and was gonna leave them for atleast a week so they'd mature. It was such a secret spot to, but then some idiot comes along and takes all the baby pins, grrrrr.

Woah, there's been a lotta posts since my last ID request.
Alas I don't think that first find I posted had any actives in it - no blue staining at all. Thanks for all your responses though.
Since then though found some that are definitely active. Just wondering what species they are? I think they are subs but not experienced enough to be sure. Here are some pics:
     
Found in a garden covered with pine woodchips in Auckland. First time I've ever found any myself! 450.8g worth. Also, seeing as I haven't had any luck finding spots in the past, I'm wondering if anyone has any idea how long it will take for new shrooms to grow in that same spot?

Does anyone have any good photos of galerinas so i could compare?

That species will forever have the common name rhizomorphs. In a couple years Inski will probably publish it as P. rhizomorphii.

I think your aucklandii actually falls under what people are calling P. subaeruginosa. Can you get access to a microscope?

I'm sorry guys, I only named my post rhizomorphs because the images were of the rhizomorphs produced by that species!
I have a name for that species but will not disclose it yet!
Those specimens that you say were growing from the clay really do resemble P. subaeruginosa as Alan said, I think you should get someone to do a microscope examination on those, it is quite possibly neither of the species mentioned!

I found these growing in some bark underneath rose bushes. They bruise blue and the spore print seems a dark brown or purple. 1-1.5cm diameter.
Any help is appreciated. found them in christchurch

Fuck! EVeryone seems to be finding so many subs, I can't find any. Found a couple more little Weraroas today, nothing too great. They seem to be taking a long long time to grow again 2 weeks after I harvested the area.

This is me and Cyberdyne's haul... Full credit to Russell Crowe whom we dedicate this hunt, and to our fallen brothers.
Just came back from maybe our most epic haul in Auckland. All growing on bark, some under the cover of large shrubs. I don't know what to say, quite excited (although consumption will have to wait, Cyberdyne and I have other commitments first!)
And the pics. Sorry no habitat pics as we didn't have a camera.

as discussed previously...some are fucking monstrous...that stalk is pressed flush against my little finger
Also note the random extreme dark gill, upturned wavy caps vs presumably sterile white gill downturned also VERY large caps...very thick stalks vs very thin stalks...all in the same substrate intermingling...
Is this down to a different sub genus of subaeroginosa?
also re rhizomorphs...when the fuck was it decided that these were a new strain...these have been around for years on the shroomery and there was always the presumption that these were just mutant subs...

fark gaumless, they do look like semilanceata to me (im not an expert on those)...isn't that REAL fucking north for liberty caps?
Further; re shroomd's post...do azurescens actually grow in auckland? I've heard a great deal of speculation about this but no pics

Weather said it would be cold and wet today so I went for another walk in Belmont Regional Park, but at the southern end this time. It was cold and windy but not wet. I found these, a bit dried up and past their best, on the tops along the edge of the grass path.
More psilocybe semilanceata I think.
I'm chuffed. I spent ages looking last autumn and found nothing.
Maybe I'll find some subs too. Then I'll be double chuffed.

Anyone help me out with this
   
Could these be p. Aucklandii, i remember they had a leathery appearance similar to this? this one originally had a black cap, but when i got it home, say an hour after it was picked, it seemed to have developed that white ring.
Sorry for the poor pics, had to make do with using my laptop

Yeah sorry about that, im working on finding the usb cable, but the thing with these is unlike most subs ive seen (at least im 99% shure im picking subs) this one came from a patch of others that had black caps, and the color of the one in that picture is far from a browny gold, or even a faint yellow, its a blatant white.

No1.
grow potent deadly look alike shrooms(mountain compost is god among food for shrooms)
No2.
obtain a blue indian ink fountain pen and stab the mushrooms trying to make the blue stains look legit as possible.
No3.
find a known shroom patch that people pick,then wait till like halfway through season so the people who pick them trust to continue picking them.
No3.
plant or place your deadly lookalikes in the exact same spot where they have huntd them...they come and pick them muwahaha
No4.
Check the sunday newspaper for "people die from deadly shrooms"
this is quite an evil theory as i come up with alot of self innocent guilt scams and well this is one of them.obviously i wouldnt do this *ahem* unless it would be called for

There is no possible way that could be called for.
Also seems like a lot of effort, wouldn't it just be easier to poison the mushrooms?
I have seen places here in CA where they spray green weed killer on wood chips, and a patch of Galerina picked up heavy green staining.

I happen to live in Belmont too. There are loads of places, but they're all small, but numerous.
I've found all my shrooms this year from the area.
--------------------

Some people don't know how lucky they are.
When all the other have to work so hard.
Spending time, searching places near and far.
Lucky people just have shrooms in their backyard.

Hamilton is so good for growing shrooms ...our city is in a giant concave terrain kinda shaped like a volcano..we can get mist and rain at the same time aparantly no other citys have that...that just pumps up the shrooms hearty!

After that rain this morning I thought I'd go for a wander in Wilton and Karori (in Wellington).
I found these:
on woodchip, spore print is printing.
They were a much lighter yellow color, but they've been in my pocket for a while. There is a marked blue-gray tint on the stems.
The cap on the largest one is about 1.5 cm diameter.
I picked 15 or so. I left the most of them to see what they look like in a couple of days.
I'm thinking they might be P. subaeruginosa though they seem a bit small.
What do you chaps think?

You shouldn't destroy public patches. Instead use spore prints or stem butts to start new patches in your yard.
Go back to where the patch was and put down a lot of fresh new wood chips so the patch comes back.

Alright so I went for a huge hunt yesterday.
Covered 5 spots in about 7 hours.
The first 4 I found nothing.. I was stunned and felt uninspired :/
But I kept on moving to the last spot I had in mind (in the area of the city I was in anyway) And.. God be told I found a patch
about 20-25 caps of what Im sure is P's subaeruginosa and some other strand which I am yet to fully Identify.
Pics up soon.
Peace

They're so little!!! Let them ripen some!!! You'll need at least 5 of those to feel any real effect imo and even then it will be very mild.
I have found the mushrooms in Auckland don't really strengthen up till around June July when its ACTUALLY cold instead of pussy lil whiny 'cold'

Hey bro - given its your patch you have every opportunity to tend to it like you would a plant; try tobacco spray. Just boil up a bunch of tobacco in a pot of water, let it soak for ages, thedn chuck it in a spray bottle. When i had a local street patch i used to takecare of it and even the slugs seemed to avoid the tobacco spray.

Interesting will try this.
"I have found the mushrooms in Auckland don't really strengthen up till around June July when its ACTUALLY cold instead of pussy lil whiny 'cold'"
Also interesting! I noticed it a couple of times.. it may have been early in the season, where I would take an average dose and the effect been very mild at times.

Man I was eyeing up this patch in devonport, waited a whole week till they got nice and big then I went to pick them but someone had gone there just a few hours earlier and picked it clean! Also went to the spot in belmont and that had been raided. I need to find some more spots, more and more people keep on finding out about the really good ones.

Also what's the best way to create more mushroom patches? I just grabbed some woodchips that had that white stuff on them and put them in another area that was nice and moist.

I find this pretty accurate for me. My first trip this season was on 1g of dry first flush P.Sub pins. I boiled up a tea only enough for one quick cup. I was going for lvl 3 to warm into the season but the young flush had me well into lvl 4. My next trip was 1.5g and was a cruisy lvl 3. I tried the coffee recipe and after the boil just plungered the whole brew. I'm not into eatting the silt.
Mine go cracker dry in my hotwater cupboard over night. I've had at least 4 flushes so far and no shortage of woodchips to keep spreading the love around. I've more than harvested my years' supply. Was so wrapped to get out hunting this season too. Almost gutted that all I have to do is wander out the yard in my socks and a pair of scissors.
Use the Sub setting for Weraroa novaezelandiae as well.
P.S. You guys are bringing tears to my eyes with all the torn out mycelium. That's the mushies HOME! Pick the fruit not the branch.
happy hunting.

Im in wellington central, found a couple small random patches of P. Sub but nothing decent apart from that. Ive been on some pretty lengthy walks around barky areas but haven't seem to have found anything substantial. has anyone had some good experience around this area? Id like to know when the best time to hunt is.. as of tonight its been raining here for about 2-3 days. Is it good to look the next day when its not raining or wait a bit?

Hey Guys,
I need your help on that one. I just moved to Raro, pretty gutted I was missing the season back home (Welly). I looked on the shroomery to see if there was anything growing here but I couldn't find any info. I asked the locals who never heard of shrooms on the island.
Anyway, Sunday I went for a walk and I ended up finding these.
I found them in a short grass where there are a lot of cow shit. At first I thought they could be liberty caps but they don't look like a nipple, they are bigger and the caps is too leathery to be liberty. The fact that the temperature hasn't dropped below 24 degrees yet makes me doubt about libertys.
What do you think this is?
I was so sure they were psylocibe (spore print, bruising) that I ate a couple of small ones. I am pretty sure that I felt something (I was already buzzing a bit on beer and weed so not 100% sure)
I found another kind that looks quite similar except for the stem that is reddish and never bruised.
The two different kind compared
And the two spore prints next to each others (the "good" one on the right, the "i'm-not-too-sure" one on the left)
Any ideas guys? What do you think?
Cheers,
--------------------

I havn't a suitable scale so I took 4 really small pins the other night, but not much happened. I'll try again next week with double the amount or so.
I've yet to find more than the one patch of subs. And I think I'm guilty of hitting it a bit hard, being a bit excited and that. Everywhere else seems covered in stropharia aurantiaca.

Recent looks around various spots in auckland are still producing mass amounts of subs I havnt picked for about a fortnight now and my reliable patches have almost replenished back to 100% also my homemade patch is just starting to sprout pins you couldnt ask for better weather this year is shaping up to be a boomer.

Found about 40 subs on my way home after work....the subs i've been finding grow in the dead undergrowth of the kiwifruit orchards (see the pics) Used to hit Hamilton alot about 3 years ago, in the many bark gardens.

Hey FrenchieWelli, any chance you want to part with one of your Pan. cyanescens spore prints? I am collecting spore prints of wild actives. A spore print of a Pan. cyan from the Cook Islands would be superbad.

Bugger, took a look at the P. Rhizomorphs I found the other day and put in the fridge, looked like they'd been eaten a little bit. Start peeling a couple of them open and there are tiny little maggot-like bugs writhing through them. Little fuckers were jumping too.
Chucked the whole lot.

Yeah I've noticed thats quite a common occurance with that strain best way is to use them in a tea just boil on a low heat and strain through some muslin cloth.

I have found my answers guys.
So the first one is psychoactive. As everyone said it is a Pan Cyanescens actually, in order to be more accurate, it seems to be a Pan. Tropicalis.
The second one however is inactive, LouiseLouise told me on another thread that it is a Pan Campanulatus, not poisonous but not active.
Cheers guys, good luck to all of you for the season.

Hey there,
Fnding loads all over Auckland lately, but not as many in one spot as today.
Hundreds of them, in a nice untouched spot on the north shore. Some of the caps the size of the palm of my hand.
Very healthy season this year, even with a lack of rain this week...

Hi all,
Im from Melbourne but heading to Queenstown in a few weeks time.
Just wanted to know if anyone has had any luck finding Subs around that region. If not..what other actives might I be able to find?
Thanks

Heh, found some interesting looking ones today:
...and what do you make of these?
...malformed subs? there were a lot of bunches of them in the same area, and none of them had formed caps. They stain blue...
  
...and these fragile ones look more beautiful with the naked eye, a soft greeny blue tinge to them...

Yes, thats them!
Be careful with them, do they feel like they weigh a lot?
This interesting species has many microcharacters in common with Weraroa novaezelandiae and I think it should be placed in that genus!
Please let us know how it goes and welcome back

I went out hunting shrooms yesterday in Tauranga first spot was a kiwifruit orchard and found about 30-40 subs then went to a couple of parks found none. Then i went to a bird sanctuary that had a big bark garden and found a 80-100 subs in two small patches. Someone had been there before me and im guessing they got hundreds and hundreds of them.
Last night i picked out 20 of the biggest ones i found (they were big shrooms caps about 4-6cm diameter) i boiled them for 15min in a cup and a half of water and made a coffee out of it. Good god was it strong i had no idear mushrooms could have such a strong affect. Iv had them before but only ever eaten about 10-12 medium to small sized ones and had mild hallucinations. But this time it was like 100 times stronger there are no words that can even begin to describe the most mind bending experince iv ever had. I would say it was a solid level 5 on the effects scale it made the strongest LSD i ever had seem like it was nothing compared to mushrooms.

Nope, just a bit of research and patience. Just keep your eyes peeled for woodchips and pine trees.

Parks and golf courses. Fresh water. Sympathetic shrubbery and lookalikes. The right kind of substrate. All you need for subs. Don't bother with pine. Harder.

They go back into the ground about 20mins before sunrise so make sure you catch them before then. If it's a really dark and miserable day they can sometimes pop up too.
You may need to sneak up on them to catch them while they're up so employ your best stealth tactics!
Happy hunting!

Wod, your mushrooms are Psilocybe subaeruginosa.
cam82, your mushrooms are Psathyrella.
Please start a new thread for ID requests instead of posting them in the New Zealand thread. Thanks!

Here's a general question: What's the best way to distinguish between psilocybe subaeruginosa and stropharia aurantica? I keep seeing auranticas with orange tops and umbos, and darkish gills. I pick them and the stems are orange, and don't stain blue. I would hate to bombard this site with Aurantica ID requests, so I think I just need a little more info.
Wod's find looks like the kind of thing I'd pass over as the common aurantica. I've never seen a shroom stain blue, so I'm trying to understand how, in the pic on the right, there's no blue where they've been sliced down the middle.
Here are some crimson pouches I found. (?) They were growing off rotting wood. There was a clump of 5 or 6 smaller ones. I didn't know they got this big...

Psilocybe subaeruginosa will stain blue where damaged.

Thanks for that inski,I looked up some threads on the species but views are varied as far as edibility and activeness is concerned?
Has anybody else here tried or had any success with this species?

Can someone help me with an identification? These are from wood-chipped area under citrus, native shrubs, etc ... second year I've seen them in same place. Midway between Auckland and Hamilton, some frost damage from last week has turned older ones from shiny to matt and dried up.

Every time I go out among the pines around Wellington I see huge boletes. Are they edible? They have yellow flesh. They are huge, slimy, and make fairy ring patterns a little bit sometimes.... Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Have i got a hunting story for you......
I went to a local park with 2 friends to hunt mushrooms
after a half an hour of searching we found a single mushroom...we decided we would split up and continue to hunt.
while looking at some fungal growth on the ground i heard someone coming thru the bush behind me (i thought was one of my friends)
a stranger appears and says "oh your looking for mushrooms"
i stood up and replied "yes...you too huh?"
the stranger looked directly into my eyes didnt say a word and started to reach out his hand to grab my cock!!!!!!!...I bolted out of there so fast yelling for my mates...it was not funny.
later that day we drove to another venue where we found enough mushies for a trip........
2 weeks later we returned to the horrible weirdo area park to continue searching........
while we were in the trees we saw to men walking towards each other they crossed each others paths and one of them stopped on the path directly in front of us....he could not see us.....the guy starts to play with his dick....I gave a loud cough....the guy jumped about 4 foot in the air and sprinted out of the park.
conclusion......going to this particular park is not worth the emotional scarring and torment...no trip is worth that shit man.!!!

hey found afew good patches this last week, the rains not all bad youve just got to look in the right places when its wet, and besides less people are out in the rain so your less likely to get spotted. bring on the next big flush

Would anyone else agree that 2009 is the best mushroom season ever? Maybe my shroom radar is unusually on form this year, it seems that every second spot I look I'll find at least a few. And this is the first year I even knew about the existence of weraroas, those cute little blue smurf hats! I tried them in the weekend, also my first time using the lemon tek method so it's hard to say if the trip is any different to the subs I usually find.
And to top it off I found an untouched patch in a little park in suburbia with at least 200 psylocibe australiaus! The mushroom gods are surely in a good mood this year, I think in times like these everyone could benefit from a good hard mushroom trip!

I agree about the mushroom gods smiling this year ,
1)I sucsessfully transplanted mycelium to my parents back yard last year and they are now producing.
2)Moved up north for a new challenge to start a buisness in hort, and right out side our new prop shed and all round the house there are bountifull sub patches.
Its been one of those years where everything makes sense .
Peace.

dam i think 1 lil baby golden cap has dried up 2 much in the sun (at my local spot).. do you guys think if i just went and watered around the dry area's they may start 2 pop back up??.. theres a medium sized 1 in a sheltered area but i dunno if it will rain any time soon.. is this shroom in danger because of dry weather?? or will it still grow naturally?

Yeah water the patch HARD. Make sure its completely saturated. Preferably do it at night for obvious reasons, and so that the water won't evap. as quick as if you were to in the day time.
Personally i'd take a sample of mycelium and make your own bed. Start with a sample about the size of a 50c coin and put that in a take away container of fresh hard wood wood chips [preferably not pine] and tuck that away somewhere cool and dark like under a sink in the laundry.
then when it's established a bit more, make a bigger bed for it.

Yeah, more so for you're own personal bed I made one up from a pallet. Easy as.
Also this is worth a read, the cardboard tek:
http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/6225350/an/0/page/2
Also a very good read for your own bed:

thanks for the links dude.. really appreciate it . once i get all the cardboard steps done.. how do i get the shrooms 2 start popping up??? do i just make like a big box for a bed and place the cardboard in it and just wait for it too grow?? or do you suggest i throw in some of the woodchippings???

So I went back to the spot where I found fifty subs to find that the place had been raped. It was out in the open though...But anyway, looking around I found a few logs and such with mycelium all over them! I'm thinking of making a bed but I'm not too sure on everything about them. Help? haha

I just found my first active mushrooms, EVER !! This in my 3rd year looking, i'm so happy. Finally!
I headed out into some native forest, just off a public walkway. Looked for about 2 hours total, when i came across these. The only thing is I only found two small ones - by then it was getting to dark to see. (and maybe other people had already picked em')
Tomorrow morning i'll head out again in the same spot and see what i can find.
I just eat these mushrooms about 20 mins ago, 99.9 % sure they are active. Wonder if i'll feel any effects.

Peace.
[edit] forgot to mention, where i found these mushrooms, there were all these little purple tiny bits scattered around the place - like just a bit smaller than your average sized seed. I wonder if these could possibly be the spores?
[edit again] Just went for another hunt today around the same spot, for about 4 hours. pretty gutted didn't find a single one.

Nice find! They are Weraroa novaezelandiae. And yes, they are active. Two small ones probably won't do much, probably give you a body buzz.

Yeah you'd need to take about 4 - 5 times that amount to get your trip on. I find a few of those occasionally, they take ages to grow back and don't grow in patches. You'll only ever find 2 or 3 in a cubic meter and most likely no more in that immediate area. They are a bitch to hunt for.
I've frozen them and they do keep - I tried mine 4 weeks after freezing them and the effect was noticably less but still 80% of the original batch I tried.

Yeah I didn't feel much, if anything from them really ahhhhh. Hope to have better luck tomorrow! Cheers for the info mate - and have to agree with you, I looked ALL over and only found those 2!

If you really want to find them, I've found absolutely combing a 50 - 100m radius in the area you found them in every possible direction, and I believe you will be pleasantly surprised - just be prepared to spend 2 - 3 hours doing it. They don't seem to grow in patterns but by intensive searching in the right area you should find a good bunch!
Happy shrooming

Hey Blazer420 - what kind of shroom is that second pick? Is it active? It doesn't look like a sub to me. I ask because I'm trying to learn....

Hi Guys,
Being in Raro, there's no local thread so I thought I would post my findings in the NZ season, I hope you don't mind.
At least if you guys come ova here in holidays, you know what to be looking for...
I found these guys on my way back from work two days ago. Cops Cyanesces
The potency is crazy...

Love your crazy Raro hauls bro Go sit on the sea wall and buuuuuuzzz when the plane gets in :P
re this season; nah, you guys are all mad...hauls have been the same every year...Auckland has always been monster...every year a couple of major patches get destroyed, and every year more seem to pop up...some gypsy worked some real spore magic in the 70's...
CAUTION:
While picking, do be aware if you are being watched. I recommend rain picking or night picking. Park rangers can, and will photograph you, photograph your car, then report it to the police.

I think the late spout of frosts have chucked a spanner in the works from my count out west at least 7 days straight frosty mornings followed by fine days,we need some rain to raise the temp abit and get our beloved little friends flushing again.

Not yet, the rains in Auckland were nice but haven't seen any growth.
I usually go for a hunt when the amanitas on my driveway grow, but nothing so far

Hi,
Well I found abit of a haul, and given that Shroomery has been so useful to me I thought I'd drop some images and open it to the experts to add some comment should they wish.
My intention here is to re-iterate to the newbies whats been stated again and agin on here, that IDENTIFICATION before CONSUMPTION could prevent alot of issues.
Given that this load was in a public place the gathering was somewhat frantic.
Even though I'm a newbie myself I have spent a huge amount of time looking online, and onsite.
As such, during the frantic harvest, I noticed that amoungst the many many of the target species, I saw somthing that I made a mental note to look at again at home.
If you look at the first 2 images, all looks OK, except I'm sure to the trained eye.
Closer inspection shows a rouge in the harem.
Closer again and the characteristics of the odd one out become more evident.
Quite different indeed as is shown in the later images and it could, I believe, have been easily mistaken as there were only 2 of these amoungst hundereds of ps. subs.
I dont know what that other one is, or if its toxic, but I'd suggest that its not a ps. sub, maybe I'm wrong, but it didnt bruise blue on the stem as the others did, even though there appeared to be some blueing, or discolouration on the cap.
Perhaps AR or Inski can ID it?
Anyway over to you all, good luck, be careful, and peace.
As another shromerer once said, "darling, start the fan"
Ha ha haaaaaa - yippee

Woohoo, went to an old patch today and found about 100 Psilocybe australiana, pretty old and weathered but by the time they're dried, powdered and capped they'll be just fine!
Also found a bunch of Weraroa novaezelandiae, as soon as my batteries are charged i'll post a pic. I couldn't believe it, I was just working and spotted a wee family, combed the area and found a whole tribe!

Ok Auckalangii, that's interesting. One of the reasons I posted was to get an ID. As I said it did have some blueing on the cap as you might see in the photo but none on the stem.
It looked very tempting but hey, as you can see, I didnt need to take any risks once it was dried and harder to ID so I chucked it.
I expect I'll be sharing the love so dont want someone getting sick on my account.
Also FYI, these were found well North of Auck and all I've seen written about ps. Aucklandii is that they are Auckland only?

Hi yakuspa,
It is not a Psilocybe species, if you come across this again be sure to make a spore print, maybe some of the blue staining rubbed off on that specimen, especially if it was in the same bag as the P. subaeruginosa.
P. aucklandii is more widespread than Auckland and in my experience can be found as far north as Dargaville, it would not surprise me if it were found further south also!

Hi Inski, thanks for the ps.aucklandii info and I think you may be right, that the blueing was rub off.
If there is another next time I'll do as you suggest and take a spore print.

The thing I noticed about Yakuspa's mystery shrooms is the radial lines on the cap, like spokes on a wheel. Is it true that psilocybes never have that radial marking?

Some of those are in the genus Gymnopus and you shouldn't eat those. Others are Psilocybe subaeruginosa. If you look very closely you should be able to tell the difference even when dried.

Ok thanks AR, I'll inspect each and everyone. I've had a look at the gymnopus species and there are many. Some do look very similar to subs at various stages of developement.
Can you tell me what to look for when they are dried? Should I be looking for blueing or is the stem a better give away or is it a combination of stem, cap etc.
I know the answer maybe complex but at least the most obvious indicator would be useful.
Thanks in advance

Probably a good dose of death or perhaps just a bit of hospitalisation.
Don't eat them! Start keeping an eye on the hunting threads and read the identification guide on Erowid to start getting a good idea on what you are looking for. With a bit of research and an aptitude to learn and educate yourself, you'll recognise them instantly and wonder why you ever struggled!
Good luck

You will need to look very carefully at dried material. Most of the indications are still there, but it is much harder to see them.
The #1 thing is gill color. The spores will be mostly developed, turning the gills the color of the spores.
Take a close look at the texture of the cap and stem, gill color, odor, annulus and any staining reactions where the tissue is damaged.

Appears to be a truffle or puffball. High res pics of them in their habitat and a clear pic of a cross section would really help.

YAY! Just found a good thirteen shrooms in my backyard! And I found two mysterious shrooms. They were found at the same place as the other subs, but they have dark blue-ish caps. It looks like they have blueing all over, but you can still see some orange. I'll try get some pictures asap.

I recently found some shrooms! It's not dead yet guys, just go out into the world and to places nobody else would go.

Well I had an hour or two free in a western suburb of Wellington today and it is (for a change) a dead calm winters day! So I went for a walk and inspected a garden very closely, decided to go hunting for subaeruginosa.
I have never managed to find subs, and always look in wood chip areas, and can only ever find weraroa in native forest areas where they are well dispersed. Well, I didn't have to walk more than 5meters to find all of these which were in an inner city council garden next to someones house!
Do you guys find it quite common to discover these in places like this? I was pleasantly surprised but pissed off at the irony that yet again when I go out hunting for the elusive subs, I find these funny little pouches.
These have the same problem a lot of the P. Rhizomorphs I've found too, in that because they are in a council garden, there are hundreds of these tiny little bugs through the insides of them so I'm going to have to boil them and make a tea rather than eating them straight which sucks. The ones in native forest never have any kind of infestations for me.
Happy hunting everyone!
Some cool myc I found after turning over a small half log
This one was picture perfectly round and nestled in amongst this grass/weed thing!
This was the inner-city garden I was finding all of these so far...
A couple more
Some strange little black/white mushrooms that looked cool
The end result!

Nice pics and finds nickc! It is indeed strange that Welly is calm.
I have only found Weraroa in wood chip,have not been lucky enough to find them in native bush in the Auckland region, yet.
As for the bugs I think it is because the mulch layer is breaking down, this attracts a high number of decomposer bugs and unfortunately these bugs like the mushrooms. I try and combat this by picking fresh, healthy lookers and then drying them as soon as possible to stop any eggs from hatching and to dry up any larvae which may be present at the time.

Wow that's interesting, I've only found them so far by bush bashing through native bush, particularly where dead ferns were laying and I'd found them spread out but this was a hell of a lot easier! This is the first season I've gone hunting though so if they are common on wood chips then I was bound to find some sooner or later.
I see you're in VIC but I'm guessing by the way you're talking that you have lived in Wgtn at some stage and you mention drying them - have you successfully managed to dry and preserve Weraroas in that fashion? Everything I've read has said the only way of preserving them is to freeze them which I've found reduces the potency to a degree. I've already chopped them up into a thousand pieces and boiled them for 5mins to kill the little critters and am planning to chill it tonight and then add some lemon juice tomorrow, blend it all up so it's nice and smooth and take it tomorrow night.
A little bit of protein never hurt anyone!

Sorry just re-read and seen you have said Auckland region.
I'm looking forward to it, havn't tripped in a couple of months since I made my first find! Will be going to collect some Rhizomorphs tomorrow and throw them into the mixture too. Stumpy pouch-like fungi combo!

That is some brew you are concocting, I think it will do the trick and some...Have fun!
To answer your question, I have never tried to dry Weraroa, only ever found a handful at a time so usually they get consumed fresh. I really only have come about them by chance while looking for subs in wood chip. 
I am a Northland boy but have been to Wellington a few times so am familiar with the wind. In Aussie for work and am enjoying the season here but damn I miss Aotearoa fungi.

Just went out to my patch of Rhizomorphs that I visit every 3 - 4 weeks and pick the nice big fruits, and some fucker has completed destroyed it. Soil upturned, not a single mushroom to find in the square meter or so that they grew in.
I'm so fucked off, the patch was so small and the mushrooms so unknown amongst a huge area of bark chips that it can't have been council/police upturning it all. I collected up a box full of the mycellium covered bark that was left and brought it home with me.
Angry & sad.

Darn people destroying patches! Really pisses me off.
I just went back to my backyard patch, found another four P. Subs all ready. And I found two little pins nearby! =]

Just went for a hike through the woods for a few hours, came up with nothing at all where before I'd always find a good amount. Dead leaves fucking EVERYWHERE all over the ground making it impossible to find or spot any.
Went back to my spot I found yesterday for a closer look, on the off-chance that I might find a couple more just to make tonight a bit heavier, and found another 75g of them that I'd just overlooked before. Found the biggest one I've come across too, weighed in at 21g!! I have it pictured on my hand. I've noticed since finding this bed that these mushrooms when growing natively in the forest tend to stretch out more, they are a lot more elongated, whereas the ones growing in wood chip gradens tend to be a whole lot more bulbous. What could the reasons for this be? Is there any possibility that one could have a higher psilocybin content than the other?
Also karode13 - what kind of weight in fresh fruit would you ingest of these Weraroa at a time? Did you take the stalks out too? (I've heard they cause a lot of stomach upset...?)
Not so angry anymore!

21 grams- Fucking Superb! 
Nice to see that there was some left. In the past I have not had a scale to weigh the amount beforehand. I am quite experienced with subaeruginosa so the first time I ate 5 fresh, whole mushrooms. They worked very well and I did not notice any stomach upsets that weren't out of the ordinary. The size of those were about the size of your medium looking ones, if that makes any sense?!
Good luck and report back about any stomach problems you experience?

Okay, I was told when I found my first batch that I shouldn't consume the stems so I didn't, and have removed them from this batch too.
I made a terrible error before and while blending them, spilt the jug over and lost half of the mixture from this second group, so I have somewhere between 60 - 110g of them blended up in a powerade bottle. Boiled them all for 5mins and am heading out soon to buy a bag of ice and some fruit milkshake syrup to blend in with them and make an earth coloured smoothie!
Will be splitting it with a friend tonight, have no idea what level I will hit or what I'm getting myself into, but after tripping 3 times before over the last year and hitting level 3 each time with the hint of almost stepping up to the next I think I'm ready for it.

Nickc those are some huge weraroa nice finds,
how was the trip?
Ive made a few demon brews with the old old pouch shrooms never removed the stems or had any stomach issues and ive found brewing them down for about an hour really produces a stronger concentrate especially if you not planning on eating any solid matter.

I live in Auckland, and would there be any weraroa's in the general area? And what's the best way to find them?
I've been pretty keen to try them out.

Yes they were very large compared to any others I've found!
The trip was enjoyable. The best part was I finally worked out how to make it taste good. I mixed the two bowls of the mushrooms with 1L of water, boiled them for 5mins then let settle for an hour or so in the water. The first bowl I let sit in the fridge overnight. There was about 800ml of mixture in the end. I blended the mushrooms up in the water, threw in 1 packet of sunshine mango Raro powder mix (only minutes before we were ready to consume), then peeled a whole lemon and blended that in too.
It came out tasting like a refreshing lemonade drink, it tasted bloody good and I blended it up good so there were no chunks but just lemon pulp floating in it. It looks absolutely disgusting but it was very nice to drink!
We drank 2/3 of that, sat back and let it kick in with Chris Rock playing on Comedy Central. Half an hour in (8.30pm) it was definitely kicking in, and we waited two hours before consuming the rest. I was so proud of the largest weraroa that I didn't throw him into the mix, but instead kept him on and then we ate him an hour after the second glass.
The trip I've found with these weraroa doesn't last as long as a cubensis trip which is the only thing I can compare it to. We managed to keep topping it up though, and it lasted until 2am when the visuals stopped and we just looked out over Wellington at the lights until 5.30 listening to 90s music.
It was very refreshing!

Try out in the waitaks and out towards piha you will have to hunt around in the leaves and debris but look hard enough and it should pay off I was out about a month ago and collected a fairly decent haul and last year i found hundreds check out my pics....good luck

Sweet as man. Just need to find a ride out there now! D=
Also, I just chopped up about four shrooms and put them in a nice drink and shot that back. Then ate two fresh shrooms. Yay! Happy days!

Man, I found my first rhizomorph patch in wellis a couple of days ago. didn't destroy it, & left a few babys so i'm pretty sure it wasn't yours. i've never tried these before and have a bunch of them about 2.5cm wide. can anyone tell me what's a good dosage with these rare shrooms? I've heard they're pretty potent!

I'd almost say the opposite. Make sure you boil them if the have little almost invisible bugs infested through them as all the ones I've found tend to have.
I've only had them once but had a good 15 or so same size as yours, boiled them up into a tea and had a come up effect but after an hour I couldn't feel the trip going any further.
Munch away and let us know how it goes! I'd recommend going with 20 - 30 or so grams fresh and just sit back and enjoy the ride. I think Inski has tried these and reported them to be quite potent however they weren't for me?
What area was it in? The patch I found was out Seaview ways between Lower Hutt and Eastbourne.

mine were found out j-ville way. in another thread someone said about 2-3 was a good trip! and another guy in the same thread split 9 between him & his brother and reported a level 5 trip so I got my hopes up that these are pretty potent. are you sure you didn't boil it too hard? that can reduce potency a lot. my ones don't have nearly as many worms as the wereroas, subs & aust's I've been picking!

Heres a tea that always works well for me, Double the water to shroom ratio eg,
If you got 100mm of shrooms add 200mm of water, add 1 squeezed lemon juice and boil down to just under half the level of the remaining mushrooms use a potato masher and squeeze em round whilst boiling down strain and enjoy.

Boiling the mushrooms for a long time will degrade the actives in it. I have dosed on Weraroa fresh and they are potent. 3-5 of these will be enough. If you feel like making a tea, boil water, let stand, put chopped mushrooms in, leave to steep for 5-10 minutes, strain and enjoy.

What I am gonna say needs to be discussed, I might be wrong. But I have found pouches that looked pretty much exactly like wareroas maybe a bit more yellowish which were inactive. They were growing in exactly the same habitats, actually, in spots where I usually find active Wareroas.
Anyone came across these inactive Wareroas?
Insky, what do you think?
I usually take three or four fair sized pouches and reach level 4. As i posted on another thread, I reckon Wareroas are the most potent shrooms I've tried, way more pleasurable and visuals than the cops cyanescens growing in Raro.

Yes, you are probably finding Weraroa virescens which is not active!
I also suspect there is another species apart from but very similar to W. novae-zelandiae that is active, more collections and study are needed!

It wasn't Virescens, I am pretty sure. As you said Inski, It probably was another species related to W Novae zelandiae, I am sure it was inactive tho.

well i tried my 'rhisomorphs'. i may have reduced their potency (can someone comment on this?), thinking that i'd be taking them at a later date I chopped them finely, put them in a jar of water and freezed them, thinking that there's nowhere for the psilocy(bi)n to go but into the water. Anyway, by the time they were pretty much frozen we decided to trip so I sat the jar in a pot of hot water until it was thawed enough to tip in with the water. Then I added some lemon juice, bought it to a simmer, and let sit for about 30 minutes. I then added some honey, poured the whole lot into a coffee plunger, and poured 3 cups.
we had 8 big ones and about 8 small ones between 3 of us. the trip took at least an hour to come on and was unlike any mushroom trip i've had before. very euphoric, plenty of hysterical laughing and with an mdma like quality to it. Over all very nice, could have been stronger and not much in the way of visuals.

Nope, never bro. It might not be because of the shrooms but because of your diet, I've heard not enough salt or not enough fluid could cause muscle cramps.
That must have been a pretty freaky trip!

Not cramps but had my legs turn to jelly on me night was a freaky feeling couldnt feel anything from the waist down I think because i was constantly dosing throughout the day played a big part in it because ive never had any problems with large single hit dosages.

Pretty dry out there the last 2 weeks or so it seems. Very little yield from my patches if any.

Bedtime! Ahh good memories. I've still got it on a VHS I recorded of TV2's movie Milo and Otis I think they played late 1992 which is when I recorded it. Gotta love NZ TV!

I think everything's pretty much over now. My best patch with a constant damp dark moisture source plant over it has nothing. Time to look forward to next season!

just thought id post up afew pics, this is my home tk setup, growing p.rhizomorphs im on my 3rd flush this year, i built this setup about mid season and its still pumping out the shrooms.
hope you like the pics, these ones have grown alot different to the previous flush, im pretty sure they are darker due to there been spores all over them, but you can still see similar features
