I know where your talking about and I think I'v seen the same mushrooms, was the stem orange and hollow? If you did your research ( gills/stem/bruising/spore colour etc ) you should be able to figure out if they were what we're looking for + I dont have a clue as to what the spore distribution is like so dont know if the subs are in that area :/.
I went down last weekend, things are looking very exciting but i rekon some more rain would help things along, they're definitely there though :laugh:

I had fuking heaps of the ones from balingup last weekend and was really disappointed.
they had brown stems tho, looked more like those really strong flying saucer ones but about 3 or more times weaker then the psilocybe cubensis im growing at the moment

Reckon it's worth hunting in Toodyay? Seen a tonne of tiny mushrooms growing in the bush but didn't care enough to check them out. I've never tried shrooms and decided I should give it a shot.

I sooooo badly want to try them... never had them before, but always been curious... I have read this whole thread and have found it to be fantastic!

My hope of finding them here (150km north of Perth) has diminished.

Thanks Maingy for putting up that video of Fungimentary, it was awesome!!

Perhaps there might be a chance of finding another variety up this way that I could focus on...  does anyone have any suggestions??

I'm not sure Toodyay would be worth hunting for shrooms although I am sure there are various fungal species there worth identifying. Find thick grass in wooded and wood debri areas in the south west near Bridgetown and north up to Donnybrook. When first searching it is important to go after lots of rain. Please don't litter the beautiful South West as there is regularly rubbish around that I am sure the locals, farmers and property owners do not like.

Respect to all of life

@Maingy: That was like watching an Underbelly episode about magic mushrooms. Even the crooked cops made a presence, the wankers that they are!  :stonedjerk:





Thanks for posting though, I had a good laugh! :rofl:

have been down about 4 times this season, not truly pumping like the last couple of years but still getting 800-1000 every time, i dont know what all these other mushies you guys are talking about are but theres only one in my book, the gold cap, have picked over 3000 of them in a few hours between two of us before, but this season is no where near that at the moment, the best way to do it is get a topographic map of balingup and look for good spots, pine forests , rivers, valleys etc where it would be cold and damp, and preferably off the main jays road and away from police, we just searched around for new spots and came across some massive undiscovered patches, good luck

Well done nightraider!
You have done so well to explore new spots, the land between Bridgy and Donnybrook after lots of rain can literally crawl with shrooms. I was first introduced to mushrooms when I lived in Margaret River river 10 years ago and have been picking ever since. Some of these years with heavy rain were just insane, shrooms popping up out of the middle of a dirt track only to see thousands in the area everywhere around.

There is a site, www.sovereignintegral.org, that is good to look into during a meditation. Also the music of the wingmakers is very cool to listen to for expanding awareness and for the breaking down of prison walls in our collective reality thus affecting the genetic mind of the human species for all future generations. That is why this natural energy field is important to explore and interact with because it can challenge us in many new expansive ways. 

From a peaceful fellow,

Hi all,

just browsing and thought I may as well drop by and say hello to the mushroom hunters. I'm from Bridgetown myself and often wondered what the scene was like. I grew up just behind balingup out on maranup ford road but ironically have never even knowingly sighted a magic mushroom.

Getting on a little now and i'd be curious to find some around here and give them a whirl. I have heard certain rumours like they grow in cow dung and look a certain so and so, turn blue after being picked etc. But ofcourse I can't take any of that as gospel.

While I was fencing I came across some interesting looking mushrooms and it got me thinking. they look a bit like some of the ones on some of the ID pictures on here so yeah. No way to know for sure though.

If anyone is local and wants to come and have a look with me feel free to say hello,

Cheers.

E.S.M

thanks mate, well half the fun is actually finding them so we generally like to roam around a bit to undiscovered places, just have to make sure you dont end up too engrossed in picking and get lost which happened to us one year! have been going picking at night for the last few years, hence the name and find that they almost tend to glow under a torchlight, some of our biggest hauls have been at night, though is super cold and dark, has been so warm and dry recently that i cant see any shrooms around now but the next decent rains might see me go back for a look! cheers
