ID needed - Brisbane
    #14508011 - 05/25/11 01:16 AM (12 years, 8 months ago)

Hey guys, I'm really new to all of this but a few friends of mine have been very keen lately on trying to get their hands on some magic mushrooms. So a friend and I went looking today around a cow paddock in Brisbane, looking in cow dung and around creek areas to see if we could find anything. This is what we found:

http://i.imgur.com/RLNw2.jpg

Habitat:
We found these near a lot of cow dung, in damp, moist grass and soil. There were shrooms of all ages around, but we tried to pick only the biggest, 'ripest' looking shrooms

Gills:
Darkish brown

Stem:
5-6cm long, about 1cm wide

Cap:
5-6cm, dark brown

Spore print color:
I'm new to this, and I haven't got one

Bruising:
We tried to bruise them but they didn't change colour much at all. This got our hopes down, but you never know!


Anyways, any ID or information would be excellent. We left a lot of them in-tact so we can go back and grab some more. Unfortunately I can't take any more pictures as they have been damaged quite badly in my bag... but we can and will go and get more if there's a good chance that they're magic.


Thanks in advance,

nelz

Not easy to ID through that bag and if left in there will rot.

Maybe Agrocybe species.

Definitely not active.

For the record, Psilocybe cubensis doesn't just grow near cow crap. It grows directly on it. If you didn't find your mushrooms on the dung itself, then they're not Psilocybe cubensis.

Thanks for the quick reply. Well it was our first venture, so it's better than nothing. Could you possibly give us any tips as to how to find active ones? We have been researching but we can't get definitive answers for our area/climate - i.e. when and where to go in the Brisbane area.

Sorry if that violates any rules of this forum, but we're desperate!

And of course we know that. But there are more species than just cubensis...

Well, they can grow next to cow dung. Not every single specimen necessarily has to grow directly from a patty, but this is a rare exception and if none of the mushrooms out of a whole bunch grow from the patty then what you said certainly applies 100%.

Well, after a bit of rain, Psilocybe cubensis will grow on cow dung, in the right season. Not sure when that season is.

Psilocybe subaeruginosa grows in wood chips in certain parts of Australia throughout your Autumn and early winter. Not sure what parts of Australia those are.

There are more but I'm no expert on Aussie actives. They're the main two.

Technically true, of course, but I don't think you'll help with the OP's wishful thinking instilling that attitude. Better to let him look for and find some on dung first, then once he knows the species well, he'll recognise any not growing on dung.

An overview on how to find Psilocybin mushrooms.

As you can see, there is a whole sticky dedicated to this question (it's located only 3-4 lines above your thread), it has been answered in a million previous posts and we have a search engine. Google does, too. There are also at least a few dozen books on the subject.

Thanks for your help but that guide is virtually useless. And of course I have tried Google and the like - I'm not that stupid. It's just that everything I find pertains to places other than Brisbane, where the climate and seasons are totally different - hence the 'useless' call.

In the "Words" box type Brisbane and choose Mushroom Hunting and Identification as forum.

You should get a few hundred results to sift through. Not sure if any are useful.

I know how a search works, but thanks for assuming I don't. I've looked, and nothing is very useful. I guess the only way is to be persistent. It's a shame that we can't share locations on this forum though, as it would really take a lot of the guess work out of it.

Maybe what you need is a book called "How to Find Psychedelic Mushrooms in Brisbane" with an introduction saying "Dedicated to nelz", written by Lemmy X. Plain, author of such bestsellers as "How to Tie Your Shoes", "Lemmy's 101 on How to Get Off the Bus at the Right Station" and "Light - an Amazing Invention That Makes you See More".

Or maybe I just need someone who lives in Brisbane to view my thread specifically made for people from Brisbane to help me find mushrooms in Brisbane.

Getting sick of joining forums and asking questions only to be told to "use teh search fgt" and shit like that. Of course I'm searching - why would I make an account which takes 10x as long as searching if I had found what I needed in a search?

Sorry if I seemed rude, but I hope that explains it. I just want some simple answers, and if you guys don't have them, then why post?

Thanks for your help guys :smile:

We do have answers. Our answers are more general because we don't live in Brisbane, but we answer anyway because we see someone in need of help and want to offer it in any way possible, to the maximum of our ability, no matter how meagre that help may seem to someone who's a complete arsehole.

Sorry if I seem like an arsehole to you guys, it's just I told you I had already searched.. so from that you thought it would be a good idea to completely spell out how to perform a basic forum search... where I come from that's patronising, but hey.

Thanks for the help guys (no sarcasm, legit). I'll keep hunting and see what I can find.

You said you'd looked on Google, which is why I was telling you how to use the Shroomery's own search -- because it doesn't exactly jump out at you.

Then I assumed maybe you weren't really computer savvy and I explained how to use the search page. I didn't know you'd already been through all 334 results.

That's it :thumbup:
Forgive the other posters in this thread their somewhat condescending replies. If you know how many kids we got here every week registering and then going all cranky because nobody can (or is willing to) point them to the exact location of a turd covered in hallucinogenic mushrooms. But you got it: persistence is key. Mushroom hunting is something that you learn best through experience; it's almost impossible to learn it from a book.

True, well I guess we'll keep trying. Just how rare are these things? Do most people find them within 2-3 tries or are they a little bit more exclusive than I've been led to believe?

It took me years to find actives, mate. As long as you keep looking in the right habitat, in the right areas at the right times of year, you'll eventually find some, for sure. Don't be put off searching further afield for fear of failure.

Really? Like elprawn said, it takes many people years to find their first actives. There's a reason why they cost 50 dollars for a few grams on the black market.

Don't feel bad. You wouldn't be the first and you won't be the last that tells his friends "Hey guys, you want to trip this weekend? I know a cow pasture round the block from here" only to find out that cows don't shit magic mushrooms by default.

Yeah, it wasn't really directed at you; it was mostly about GK, who's aware himself of his proverbial crankiness. Which I must admit took on rather hilarious forms in this thread:

If you go back in this thread you will notice that was posted by me after the OP gave a few arrogant answers about the uselesness of the "How to find..." tutorial (that some of us put together collecting links and writing up in their spare time to help n00bs such as the OP) and the apparent uselesness of search functions in general.

To be honest, by the time I wrote that I was surprised that the OP wasn't asking for a sherpa to carry him to the right mushroom spots while holding up a portable DVD player over his head so the OP could enjoy some entertainment during his arduous voyage to the magic fields.

I know, I noticed that, and it didn't strike me as a particularly cooperative attitude of the OP. But still, the kid is new here and probably frustrated due to his lack of success, and then there's all these people here who have succeeded years ago at what he's trying to pull off, and they're basically telling him that there's no magic secret and he'll just have to invest more effort. I mean, I can see how that could get a person down, regardless of the truth or usefulness of the advice given.

Speaking of which, I hope you'll be available by autumn to provide me with the very services you describe. You'll be pleased to hear that none of my hunting spots involve any significant differences in altitude, so the going will be pretty easy. I like to hunt in the morning when the fields are all dewy, so you might want to bring some high boots, but frankly, I don't mind myself if your pants get wet :thumbup: I'll let you know when I'm planning to head out, and I'll anticipate your timely arrival at my place.

If you promise to bring some stamina and power enhancing (you know what the Indios of the Andes do, only more concentrated) and other recreational substances I might just enter into negotiations about it with you.

I consider myself fairly easy-going in this respect, as long as I can enjoy my basic comforts while hunting mushrooms, such as an interesting video to watch, a nice cool beverage, a soft seat, a crackling fire to warm my bones (it'll be autumn after all!) and a hearty meal cooking on the stove. Can't be too difficult catering for those most modest needs, can it?

What about the all new SEAT Kahuna? I've heard that's very popular motor vehicle in the part of Bangladesh where koraks' hut is located.

I've come to the conclusion that 99% of the time, anybody with over 9000 posts on any given forum is an arsehole. It seems like it's just a fact of life I have to accept :smile:

And when you got your panties in an untie-able knot when I called your guide useless, I laughed a little. Maybe you should learn to read full sentences before assuming I am having a dig at you. I said it was useless for ME, because it contains information relevant to areas that I do not live in, and the rest is shit I already know.

Also, I wasn't really asking for a portable DVD player or anything of the sort. My question was quite reasonable and straight forward, I believe - "what climate" was basically the extent of my question, and the other part of the question (about the location) was directed at people who had had previous luck in the Brisbane area.

Seriously, you guys need to chill the fuck out. Maybe you should work on your shroom finding skills yourself if it takes you years. Maybe if you were more lucky you'd be more lax about things :smile:

That's what I come here for every day: my daily portion of chilling-the-fuck out. Sorry if it seems at your expense, but trust me, it's nothing personal. Stick around and you'll get the hang of this place. We take things over the top right to the spot where they cease making sense, then have a laugh about it. We're actually extremely lax about things here. Don't let the mockery get to you, it's all in good fun. But some people don't take it too well, and they tend to disappear pretty quickly. It's all up to you. But rest assured, in this community of oddballs, it's pretty hard NOT to fit in.

surprised no aussies have replied to this.

you won't find Subs in Brisbane mate. they do grow in QLD but pretty sure only far south. but Brisbane is great for Gold Tops and Blue Meanies. they like warm temps, rain and cow shit. and you can tell they are active because they bruise blue.

hope this helps :wink::thumbup:

Hey nelz. Soo you're having mushroom problems in Brisbane?

Number 1. Wrong time of year. I have never looked for cubensis at this time of year but can only assume that you will have significantly less chance due to it being basically winter.

Number 2. Where abouts *generally* are you searching? Ive found that searching in Queensland you want to go up north a little to get good results. I live in the city and it takes me about 1 hour to get to my hunting paddocks if that helps.

Number 3. You want to be looking for Panaeolus Cyanescens and Psilocybe Cubensis. I have success finding them in slightly water logged paddocks after rain.

Number 4. Persistence. Not every paddock containing cow poo will have majik mushroomz. It took me numerous attempts to find what I wanted. You can look at areas on google maps with satellite view to get a rough idea of the topography and where rivers are.

the rest is up to you.

Good luck. Happy Hunting.

Also,

"How to Find Psychedelic Mushrooms in Brisbane" by  Lemmy X. Plain was a great read. I would recommend it. :billymaythumbup:

Are you sure about not being able to find subs in Brisbane? It's freezing cold this winter

But if the mycelium didn't colonise anything in the spring then they won't be growing.

@elprawn> Since Brisbane is in the far south of QLD Psilocybe subaeruginosa have indeed been reported from there as the climate just about still supports Psilocybe subaeruginosa. But he won't find them in cow shit, of course.

From http://www.shroomery.org/8461/Which-psilocybin-mushrooms-grow-wild-in-my-area

Queensland
Gymnopilus sp.
Panaeolus cinctulus
Panaeolus cyanescens
Psilocybe cubensis
Psilocybe subaeruginosa

@nelz> You need to understand how this whole thing works, anyways, though. It has NOTHING to do with "this winter being especially cold" or not. You are either in a climate zone that supports a certain mushroom or you are not. I am in Germany and we often have very humid and still hot summers. Some summers it can go up to 40°C! You still won't find P. cubensis or Panaeolus cyanescens here, because for a species to make itself at home somewhere is a process that takes a while, or, as the proverb says: "One swallow does not make a summer.". So it doesn't take one especially cold winter or especially warm summer, it takes the right climate zone.

Well, to be fair to me GK, I did mention subs earlier in the thread and when and where they would grow. It was the 3rd of 4th reply of the thread, I think. I was just adhering to the Aussie dude's opinion. :laugh:

What I would say to OP is this - Get your arse out and track those subs! If the woodchips in your area are inhabited by them then you want to be the finding them.

The Trip Is Out There.

From what I have gathered, yes some have found subs in Brisbane but its very sparse pickings. They dont grow up here like they do in Melbourne. You can always have a go, you might get lucky.

For a noob though, I think you're best to spend from now until late october reading/researching all you can about the summer actives and hunt then.

I haven't seen many ID requests for Subaeruginosa posted by QLDers and I can assume there is a reason behind that.

Cubensis grows like a crazy in QLD. Just be patient and you will have alot more fun stumbling across a godly amount of Cubes. Plus picking in the summer is warmer and pleasant. :thumbup:

Don't listen to these playa haters...nelz, bro.  This guy is spot on.  You can either go north or south of the city (Upper Eastern tropical NSW), and north (think between Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast).
But, as for your hunting skills, you need to wisen the fuck up quick bro.
  • Psylocibe mushroom season is from late August/early September to early May (peaking November, December, January, March).  It doesn't necessarily have to be raining either.

  • P. cubensis does not necessarily have to be growing out of cow shit.  It grows up out the ground in and around cow shit, where cows have been and taken turds before, usually peaking after a couple days rain in the
