Hey all, Ive been lurking on this site and reading/learning from you guys for a while and been out on about 5-6 hunts this year with no luck.. but today I think ive finnaly found what i was looking for.
thanks to all the great info and posts on this site im fairly sure I found actives today in the Brindabella area. if so its my first find!
But im here now hoping to get you guys opinions before i do anything silly like eat em =)
here are some close up of them while im getting a spore print:




here are a few pics as i found em, moslty on the side of old 4wd tracks in a eucalypt area with a few scattered pines:




hard to see in the pics but most have blueing round the edges of the cap and light bruising on the stems. still getting a spore print atm.
sooo.. whats the verdict?

aweseome, so from the pics they all look safe? none that may be dodgy? im still a little nervous to try em considering they are my first find. at the moment the spore prints are getting dark but its hard to say if they are a purple or brown/rusty colour? they just look more dark brown
whats better eaten raw or boiled in some tea?

i'd wait it out if you're really nervous....
wait for a TI and for your spore prints to settle your nerves.
