The NSW shroom season has finally kicked off, have had no luck for the last few weeks but today I struck gold  Found these p. subaeruginosa along central NSW coast, managed to chase down 70g fresh, here's my 30g left after being divided amongst good friends. The upcoming season is lookin good

Awesome! Great to hear the first report of the season. I've been toying with the idea of hunting this weekend but the past week has been so warm, it seems a little premature. I'm surprised you managed to find them on the coast so soon - I usually stick to the mountains until well into winter. Anyway, nice work mate!
By the way, I think Azurescens is strictly a North American species .. those must be Subaeruginosa or some closely related species??

Grats!
"central NSW coast" aye? thou speaketh in riddles!
It'd make sense though, the coast has been seeing a lot more isolated rain than the mountains and west..
Sydney is set for chance of showers all next week

Well with the absolute pissing down we've had in Sydney today, coupled with a nice wet forecast for the mountains this week, I predict I'll make my first NSW finds this weekend!
Doesn't hurt to be hopeful... 
Any other NSW hunters about?

There are no P. azurescens in your country. They come form Hammond and Astoria, Oregon and some along the Washington and parts along the Oregon Coast also.

Look Like some kind of active if their not azurescens. What are they then mj, or is their not enough information based just upon the pictures?

Well, he is in NSW, Australia, so maybe Psilocybe caerulipes?
Nice long stipes on those, just like the Cyans I find. What was the habitat/substrate??

they look like Azurescens to me. Just because they are not reported in Australia doesn't mean they or some similar, unidentified species doesn't grow there.

Look like p. subaeruginosa to me. But they were found much further north than me - not sure what you may find up that way...

psiclops,
P. azurescens does not have a chanterelle dip-like cup in the center of the caps with age.
They have permanent umbos which stay as an umbo or protrude, even in aging, as seen in the two imags below with the hygrophanous color change occurring with age.
They do not have pockets in the center of the caps where the umbos are in P. azurescens as do the shrooms in the picture posted at the beginning of the thread. I do not see how you think they look like P. azurescens because they do not.
They are P. subaeruginosa and here is a similar image, with a depressed cap in the center of the cap. These are from blue Meanie who lives in Australia.
mj
AS I noted, P. azurescens does not grow in Australia or New Zealand. They are indiogeopus only to the northwest Oregon Coast and a little into Washingto. Some are transplanted in Washington, but those only last a yeara nd are gone. Same as those planted in Germany years ago by Gartz and those who tri9ed planting them in New York, Austria, Switzwerland, and New Mexico and Ohio. They do noot come back the following year.
However, those ones in Australia pictured here are nowhere like P. azurescens.
mj
Here are some P. azurescens in quantity.

Hehe, sorry, I meant Ps. subaruginosa! I accidentally typed Ps. caerulipes instead.
I know that subs are native to Australia, but can they be found in NSW and all of Australia?
I don't think Blue Foot are native to any part of Australia.... Sorry for the mis-type.

Subs certainly found in southern Australia - Tasmania, Victoria, South Australia, southern parts of Western Australia, Australian Capital Territory and parts of New South Wales.
I *think* it is too warm in northern NSW, Queensland and the Northern Territory - there are other active species there that I have no experience with (copes and cubes perhaps?)
Maybe someone from up that way can set me straight?

Hey guys! Indeed they are p. subaeruginosa, not sure where I got the azurescens from :S Had a decent shroom off the 30g on the weekend, hopin to find a few more this week. There was a good downpour early this week so it's lookin good, hopefully some more NSW shroomers will start havin luck and postin some piccies of their finds
CureCat The area is mainly sub-tropical bushland over a few small mountains. Found most of them growing along walking-tracks hidden under thick vegetation either side of track.
Thankyou for your feedback and help guys, keep it up k+

I know it is a state. I have been there when i put together Magic Mushrooms of Australia and new Zealand.
However it is an Island.
In the USA we say the United states and Hawaii. Hawaii is a large group of many islands of which 7 are inhabitable.
Tasmania is off the coast of your mainland and we in the west coast refer to it as Australia and Tasmania.

Im not from there, but its not too warm in northern NSW for subs. Theyve been found as far north as just above the NSW/QLD border in Queensland. But the conditions wouldnt be as favourable as the southern areas. Cubes have been reported in QLD, Northern NSW and copes in Northen NSW, QLD and NT.

Just naming conventions...I knew that you knew that I knew that...mmmmm. But your book was not called "Magic Mushrooms of Australia, Tasmania and New Zealand". The anomaly that caused me to make the comment to begin with. Picky? yep, but I'm feeling better now.
It's a public holiday here, I'm off for an exploritory walk, never know what we might find.

The season is well and truly here! Just came home from my first hunt of the season with a *very* nice haul! I've got a tonne of pics which I'll post soon ... just setting up the fan-dryer now.
Come on NSW, lets kick Victoria's arse this year!

Here are some photos from todays hunt in the Mountains. We had a great day ... there are loads of Amanitas about, you can clearly see them growing along the side of the road just cruising down the highway ...and, our sub patches are exploding with big, healthy shrooms. We saw far more shrooms than we needed to/bothered to pick. We've already got a bigger haul than the sum of last year's dismal season ... things are looking good!

awesome finds. can't believe that NSW is having bigger finds than victoria already. Lucky bastards...

Until the 20th century, reality was everything humans could touch, smell, see,

Since the initial publication of the charged electromagnetic spectrum, humans
learned that what they can touch, smell, see, and hear... is less than one

They were picked about 2 hours ago and were already getting this dry straight out of the ground.
Only found one patch all day but are these Subs?

^^^ Just looked at your pics again and I reckon that one on the bottom left looks a bit suspect. The brown looking stem looks dodgey, I would chuck it out.

It doesn't matter how close they were together. Ive seen galerina growing right next to subs quite a few times.

Probably, like us down south, still waiting for some decent rains... Still pretty mild out my way too, but this will pass, not too sure about the rain though...

Yo y'all:
I am a NSW kind of guy. Pretty close to the city but in some of the local national park/bush track little places, as well as an extremely large woodchipped area, I have been finding tons of different species ranging from coral fungi to stinkhorns to a huge ugly mofo I have no idea about. All after a few days rain recently.
Haven't found any active style ones yet (although I thought I had on my mum's front lawn, which turned out to be a witch's hat as I was educated) but I will keep my eyes skinned and we'll see how it goes? I have no doubts I can find some in my area once properly educated, given the right circumstances, and searching hard enough.

The other day while driving near my house I noticed some Ipomoea violacea (heavenly blue) growing in abundance down near a park/creek area.
So maybe I will do some harvesting of that before continuing mushrooming?!

Nice One M
Pity that last pic is a bit dark to see
Tech: I haven't found any in and around North Sydney as of yet, i don't think its nearly cold enough in the inner city yet but you never know. A few days of showeres followed by soaking rain are forecast for the middle and end of this week so here's hoping

Current weather forecasts predict a solid week of rain in early June for Sydney. And with weather starting to drop to below 10 overnight, I guess mid-June will be the hot ticket.

Had my worst haul of the season last Friday, areas that were sproutin actives nicely for the few previous weeks had none at all, or very few. I put this down to a lack of rain, goin for another hunt tomorrow so here's hoping things have been pickin up the last week

This is my first season but i already figured out Sydney is generally going to be a hard slog.
Sydney's temps are usually 3 or 4 degrees higher, we don't get nearly as much rain (it comes in short storms, not wetting rain) and our nights rarely get lower than 10 degs.
If you figure that subs will only grow for 4 weeks of a year in Sydney whereas in Melbourne it might be 10 (i dont know just guessing), then that means our subs have less time to spread their spores and won't be as abundant either.
In the past 2 months i've found some promising looking woodchip beds all around Sydney but i'm not going to bother looking again until the depths of winter after decent rain.
I think the deal is you either know one of a few very specific spots that fruit only after rain or you need to go into or over the mountains.
Again though this is my first season so i'm still figuring it out.

I'm in the same boat undergrounder. Sydney probably doesn't have the best mushroom weather, but i've been looking around for promising areas to hit when the rain does come. Apparently a solid week of rain is due in June, so hopefully that will be enough for me to horde some if the going gets tough.

I went back today to the place where I found my first and solitary sub. (first little nipple cap thread)
There were 4 today that I took and at least 3-4 pins I found but left.
They seemed to occur in a very specific area. All specimens falling within a 20 meter radius or so. That first specimen I found a couple of weeks ago must have spread it's seed and now that it's colder, more popped up. As I said in the other thread, I think the only reason I found that one shroom is that it was in a very wet area along a flowing creek, in a cold valley where the temperature drops by a tangible amount as you walk down to it.

I think this is highly illegal and against forum rules but...
If anyone's venturing out over the next week, with this soaking rain setting in, GOOD LUCK!
Looking forward to some real substantial inner-Sydney finds if that is even possible. But now's the time to find out.

Went on a hunt today before the heavy rain set in today, plenty of amanita muscaria about in full bloom. Beautiful things. But aside from one other inactive, I found nothing but fly agaric. I would've searched for longer but the wind and rain really picked up.

Were the amanitas in inner-sydney, further out or in the mountains? i see few in Sydney but tonnes in the mountains.
I had a quick look around today and found a few hundred giant-sized Coprinus comatus (Lawyer's Wig) growing in a playing field and a few hundred Earthstars, and about 50 Stropharia aurantiaca.
Ill give inner-Sydney another go in the next few days before hitting up further out.

A mate and I went out to the mountains today and came back with this small haul of subs...
120g
A Happy Patch
Blueing
Big Ones
If anyone disagrees with me and they're not subs (they do have a weird shape for subs) please reply!
Also i found a few small patches of subs that were almost totally black and dry. Do subs blacken when they dry? They were almost covered in an oily blackness but still had noticeable blueing on the stems. And are they OK to eat if they're that black and dry?
Cheers

does 'almost covered in an oily blackness' sound apetizing? if you can't identify them, don't eat them. if youwouldn't eat a grocery store vegetable in such condition, don't eat them.
--------------------
Along a path I walk this night, clear to no other eyes than mine.
In faerie circles perchance I might, hope Elven honey bread to find.
Over stream and tangled root I leap, o'er bough and slumbering badger's keep.
Under hoary oak and willow I bound, to find such groves as can be found,
the sating mushrooms; spring's delight, as gifts from figures of the night.

They're subs, but dried... they almost look burned or something. The blackness looks like it could be just severe bruising or stressing on the caps.
Dried subs are fine to eat. Just not sure if the blackness is natural in subs that have dried out to that extent. If it's not, i won't eat them.
I didn't bother picking them.

Didn't have to go far to find these nice little subs. Found in my garden in Enmore, Sydney. Just had to walk out the front door. I swear they follow me around, I seem to find them at every second house I live in. All over Auckland and now in Sydney. Sweet!

Yeah, I think it's hard to tell from the photos but to me it looks like the bluing you get with p.aucklandii, which have some amazing streaks and spotting of the dark blue kind that isn't actually rot. But your right, a couple of them are probably in the category of rot inflicted. Especially that small pin in one the pics. It's just not consistently cold enough in Sydney to really support them very well.
Still, no complaints from me, I'm just lucky that I don't have to hunt for them, they find me!
...really lucky in fact, when you consider how rare they seem to be around Sydney city. Can't find much info about where to find them, and I was just thinking at the time I spotted them, if the weather is anything like this in Auckland (where I used to live) it's the perfect weather for them. They'll be growing like mad over there now.

It must be the weather I reckon. They are probably growing all over the place, perhaps just as mycelial masses, and then every so often, every few years, the weather permits them to rear their beautiful heads.

Found a MASSIVE crop of subs today, literally thousands of the little buggers Found on a giant wood-mulch bed on a long slope, near to a water catchment area. Never found so many subs before!
Some of the subs after drying under fans for 36hours

Well fuck me ... well done. Better dry 'em good so you don't lose any to mold, you'll still be digging into them next year!
You had better luck than me, the little patch near me was stomped on by kids or anal parents.

after a several year hiatus from hunting, i decided to get out there yesterday.
it was a late season hunt inspired by lots of rain, cold weather and mushroom related dreams.
driving up the mountains, there was a deep frost, which made me sceptical of our chances of finding anything. however, we were somewhat successful, we didn't spot a huge number, but enough to make our trip worthwhile. interestingly, the ones we did find were fairly frozen from the frost. and spots which had been fruitful in the past were fairly empty. also, there was a larger proportion to be found growing amongst grass, and more mature specimens which hardly bruised growing amongst eucalypts.
having gotten up quite early for the trip to the mountains, we returned before lunchtime. there was plenty of time to explore a couple of sites in sydney for which i had a hunch there would be some success (due to the unusual cold and wet weather we have been experiencing lately). the area chosen was plentiful with woodchips, however relatively new woodchips had been dropped here, which were less decomposed and so seemed to absorb moisture less effectively. i find such areas to be fairly unfruitful for mushrooms. nethertheless, peeking underneath some shrubbery, where the chips were very damp, i spotted 3 or 4 decent subs. i also found a solitary sub growing from some other chips out in the open nearby.
we headed to a natural bushland area with a track nearby. walking off the main track and along-side a small creek, we found about 10 solitary subs here and there. i also spotted a fairly large a mature sub which had fairly distinct blue veins down its stem, but was also rotten.
what was most interesting, was that the subs i found in sydney (especially those found in bushland) were of completely different appearance to those found in the mountains. those from the mountains tend to be short, thick-stemmed and very strong looking (solid moisture filled caps), while those from sydney tended to be delicate, with long, thin stems, and caps which opened up quite early in maturity. the sydney mushrooms also had very little sign of blue bruising, while the hardy mountain mushies bruised a deep blue very very easily. i would assume that the mushrooms found in the mountains were much more potent than those found in sydney.
my guess for such striking differences would be environment. the mushrooms found in the mountains were feeding off moist woodchips full of easy-access nutrients, while those i found in sydney were feeding off damp eucalypt mulch. the long stems could be explained by the fact they were growing in a fairly rainforest-like canopy, and so the mushrooms were "reading for the sunlight"? just some food for thought. sporeprints were identical in colour.
happy hunting.

yep .. right on the button there masterxenn , weather is alternating between rainy and on the cool side allright (snow to sea level in South island) and then fine breezy and warmish ..

Went on a hunt today because there's no more rain forecast for about a week...
The old spots were doing nicely and i found a few new ones so it was a good hunt.
Lots of big, fat, short mountain subs...

Nice, that is one nice big fat sub. Too dry and warm for city subs lately, so I'm on dried ones for now. Got no car since I moved here. Makes getting to the mountains difficult.
Anyway ,enjoy the haul.

Interesting how the Subs apparently migrated to nz from australia..
I have migrated back and forth a few times myself , went to Monash High in Melbourne for a year lived in Avalon , Perth , Byron Bay and Port Douglas at different times .. traveling is a special thing , either you do it or dont , but it has a lot of common attributes .
So when i thought about how the subs migrated to NZ and the places i find mine i reflected back on how we travel , and who travels etc and how these spores would have made their way here..
Have found some nice cultures near Major roads , places where vehicle could carry spores to , and places where travelers frequent as well (tourist locations a biggie) , especially independent travelers adventurous travelers (surfies/backpackers come to mind) .
So i simply want to pay respect to those Aussies who got on airplanes and carried the spores of the cultures we find here with them . The Aussie hitch-hikers who carried spores to their roading junctions , the surfies who let the spores fly out of the windows of their clean running Holdens , Fords and Chryslers as they cruised around the country and especially to those Aussies who spent time in the cities and by shaking their pockets or airing their clothes released spores that now work with the trees and grow and are provide the shrooms now for us here amongst the unban nz landscape .
Some great people travel , and in so many ways they make a difference to the places they visit .. just to say my hats off to those largely unknown Aussies who one way or another got the spores starting our local cultures here.. I walk in your footsteps , and i walk carefully .. May you live forever .
cheers .

How is the season going for everyone? My patches have significantly died off, a few babies here and there but nothing compared to a month ago. Plenty of rain too, I was hoping the season would last until at least August. Anyone still having luck?

All dried up for me. It's just not cold enough around here.
Damn this Sydney winter. I had to put on a jumper!
Seriously though, shame about the short mushy season, but you gotta love these mild sunny winter days. Beautiful.

I found a dozen small subs in my local spot 10 mins from the CBD yesterday. Unfortunately 90% of them looked like they had been taken to with a flamethrower they were so black. Either there's a 'concerned parent' in the area flaming the subs or they rot super quick. This is the same area that had the pins ripped up about a month ago (while leaving the thousands of Stropharia).
I think there's a sub-hater living near me 
But i will get my revenge... A few litres of LC and a pump-action sprayer should see to that.
Also i went up into the mountains a week ago for other reasons and i found a few here and there, wasn't even looking.
Saying all that, none of my original patches have fruited twice. I think you need to find new patches.

Local patch stopped about a week ago, was up in the mountains today but for other reasons, didn't check. One big last dump of rain before mid August might do it, in the mountains its still damn cold, just need more rain.
