they do look like subs. but im not 100%
i normally just leave mine in a cardboard box like an asthma pump box probably not the best thing but i stored some for about 6 months in it and had a few on new years and they were just as strong. i dont think i would ever really be intending on storing them for longer then 6-8 months anyway...

great to see the season up and running again! just had my first finds the other day. but last year, i was going real hard... no sleep, tripping for 12+ hours quite often... almost drowned myself in a puddle of liquid. then out of nowhere, i had a seizure (non drug related) and was diagnosed with epilepsy. in a way i was lucky, i was well on my way to the psych ward if i wouldve continued lol.
so i wont be tripping anytime soon at all. but i still love that magical smell of mycelium and the pure magic of mushroom season. just makes me so happy. proud to be involved in the scene. happy season beginnings everyone

Hey Hey Guys!
Welcome back for another season Looking forward to some awesome pics and stories.
Well it was a fun season on dried shrooms, after my first season picking we finally ate the last of ours a few weeks ago while camping down near lorne.
A great tripping time, prob ate about 50 small subs between 4 of us over a few hours - 3 newbies + myself. A LOT of arguing over what the clouds looked like that nite hahah (Was the night the moon was its closest in 22 years, epically big and bright!)
Have started seeing inactives popping up here and there so went for a quick walk yesterday to my closest patch- nothing yet, but am expecting bumper crops this year!

Well done everyone! So many good looking finds already!
Ventured on the trails again over the weekend. Found a few sizable ones, but most were still pinning up and I left them there... like every good citizen should.

Went for a drive to Western Vic. at the weekend, not actively hunting, but saw ALOT of fungal activity. I had to stop when I caught out of the corner of my eye a bunch of amanita muscaria on the side of the road. This ended up being a large bunch - would had to have seen around 1000 all up. Also a few other species. Have got a few snaps on my girlfriends camera, willpost when I can get them. Didn't find any subs though.
Also haven't seen any around here yet - but once again, I haven't had the time to actively hunt as yet. By the photos coming from others it looks like I may have to find the time over Easter though!
Happy hunting!

Man I'm getting jealous of you guys already. Some good finds here! I wanted to check out a new spot so I went on a bit of an adventure yesterday, through a national park for a few hours in the south eastern region. No subs but a ton of inactives. I took a few pics anyway for photography's sake (and my own.)

Hey Guys,
Went to check on my ol' trusty park from last year that has about 9 patches in it. was met by many a hi-vis toting council worker and large piles of fresh woodchip... NOOOOOO!!! 
So I reckon 7 of my best patches got covered. There goes their productivity this season. Plus everywhere was way too dry still even tho temps in this park are a few degrees lower than inner Melbourne, not a lot of fungi happenings... yet. 
The good news is: Hunting for new patches this season. WOOT! That's the best part, you know.
Big Ups to Mayo for that drool-inducing photo.
I'm out of action till after easter so have a good'un yo!
