If you're looking for cubes, you won't find them in Melbourne.

As for libs & subbs, I'm not sure if they grow in Melbourne/Victoria, but they don't seem to be very common, either way.

If your goal is finding actives (as it seems to be, given you were looking for 'bluing') you may have to wait til next winter. Then the shroom gods shall rain down on you with magical goodness.

Thanks guys.

Spore print was white as predicted.

Looks like they'll be going in some stir fry then. I won't waste them if they're able to be eaten.

Many thanks!
