Please correct me if I am wrong but I think it is getting a bit too cold out where I hunt, its all frosted in the morning, there are still a few out there when I have been but have spent hours walking for 100 - 200g wet,
I think that there are alot of people going to the same places I go to to though, its a fairly known place for finding mushrooms this time of year...

Yes and no... Depending on where you live. For your location, I think you may be right... at least in the mountains: I suspect heavy snow incoming. You might find some, but they will probably be frozen, if you have a few warm weeks with good sun and the snow melts, the hunt is back on like donkey kong  Try searching lower ground. Around town and in the suburbs is the place to look this time of year, mountains are for autumn imo.

Well i went back to the patch from the other night. I guess those guys were picking because there was next to nothing there, only a few dried out and a couple of crushed ones and had to look very hard just to find those. Not even any fresh pins left, and there were literally hundreds 2 days ago
I did the Charlie Brown walk the whole way back to my car.
And i second that overturned mycelium feeling. It was like that at my patch too. Although i have seen dogs running through it before. And bandicoots love to dig little holes everywhere which i have noticed A LOT around where you are hunting dazza.
I cant believe after all the rain we had, that everything is already dry. Bring on the fucking rain i say

Johnny, my patch looked terrible. Not only do i see overturned myecelium but i see dirt holes everywhere. Someone had pulled them all out instead of cutting them and alot of the mulch was gone. There was a few pins here and there but had to look hard. Do u think its bad seeing dirt where heaps of shrooms used to be? Im worried theres no mulch in that dirt and the patch just got smaller.
I should put a sign there. "use scissors!"

Hmm yeah is it just me or is the season dying, kind of feels like that. If it is it didn't really turn out to be the epic season I thought it was going to be. Last year was way better.

This has been the worst season for me in a long time. Canberra has had something like the driest autumn in six years? we haven't had a decent rain in months.

Went down to two of my patches today. One patch was blooming with pins but only a few mature ones. I went to the trails and found a fair few mature ones and a few rotten ones, no pins there though.
Looks like i have to head back out after a few days more.
I managed to get 52.9 grams wet. Not much at all.

Wow. Well nearly all of my patches have been found by another forum member here. Looks like he beat me to the patches today because i only came up with about 30g wet.
Since the lack of actives, i took a lot of pics of some other mushrooms along the way.
Gymnopilus Junonius (two photos of same mushrooms taken a week apart)


Xerula sp?
 
Family of Mycena sp.
 
Unknown - Ive seen a few of these around and im not sure what they are. Seem to have a rusty spores with white gills. Some have rusty veil remnants/ring and are quite large mushooms. They also seemed a bit green toward the base, but if you split it they were white inside. Maybe a Galerina sp but that's a very rough guess.
 
And the few subs i found today:
    
And the result;

How do you know it was another forum member? Unfortunately this is the reality we face on this forum. More & more people are hunting each year. Sharing pics/info is giving people the ability to hunt for themselves and in return they will start hunting your patches.

Sydneysiders, cmon! It's been pissing down for the alst few days now is
prime for you to find some nice patches. I have found one and whilst
it's not huge, it's the best i've seen so far this season and I don't
venture far.. The next few days will be the same rainy conditions so
I would say the patches are sprouting up everywhere at the moment.
Unforutnately for me it's an exam period. Happy hunting!

Looks like an Armillaria sp. Usually grows in clusters so it's strange just to see the one.
Nice photos.
