Australia - Victorian mushroom law

I am sure this question has come up in the yearly Melbourne threads but never answered. I have searched, but found nothing definitive or official which states the current laws for mushroom possession. To be more specific I am wonder if anyone could tell me what the laws would be if found in a park with 50 - 100 freshly picked shrooms. The reason I ask: I read somewhere that mushrooms were treated like weed here (cops don't really waste resources on them) But I just spoke with someone I know who said the minimum penalty is a $3000 fine for possession and possible jail time and for trafficking its up to 25 years in jail and up to $250,000 in fines. I don't think this is true, however I just can't find anything solid either way. If anyone is able to assist with links or anything solid with is up to date I know there are many of us which would greatly appreciate.
Thanks.

Mate... shrooms = drugs.
What would happen if you were busted with dope? What would happen if you were busted dealing dope?
Now replace dope with srooms and ask yourself the same question.
Shrooms + you + cops = bad idea. (for you).

psycho4ctive, drugs are classified under different schedules, mushrooms are a higher schedule than dope, so getting busted dealing weed will have a far lighter penalty than getting caught dealing the same weight in mushrooms ( depending on the weight, in most cases weed = small fine, shrooms = jail time) so there is a big difference. Obviously getting caught doing anything illegal on any scale is a bad idea. Please only contribute definitive or solid information so that others in the Victoria wanting to know what exactly the LAW is regarding mushrooms can find RELEVANT information.
Thanks.

Sorry if that was worded a little strongly. The only reason I am asking is so that if anyone asks me I can give them proper advice. I don't hunt /consume anything anymore. Hell I have even given up weed / cigarettes and alcohol. I just want to be able to set provide correct advice if asked. It seems that no one I know actually knows exactly what the law around mushrooms is, thats all.
Thanks.

Site's a bit messed up right now: http://www.aic.gov.au/research/drugs/responses/legislation/vic.html
Page referring to penalties has no specific entry concerning shrooms.

Sorry, I thought it be similar... since they are not physically addictive drugs.
