Today I went for a quick look around a local park would had just recently had woodchip mulch spread around the area. Didn't find anything, except the 3 of the same shrooms you encountered - the reddy/orange mushrooms that look very much like Subs, but have red/orange around the bottom of the stem, and don't bruise blue. I nearly shat myself when I saw them, because I thought they were subs, but as I got closer and picked one, I saw that the stems had red/orange stains on it 
You should perhaps try visiting some forests/bushes and seeing what you can find in there. It seems that the word is wood chip mulch has lots of subs, BUT the trouble is that the likelihood of getting there and finding some is slim because everyone appears to be looking for them. I'm going to head back into the forests myself and perhaps spend a whole day roaming the area.

Reverend, are you absolutely sure about the woodchip in town thing? Don't mean to diss, but I have checked the chips in town/out of town/in gardens many many times, early as all fuck in the morning. And there are only Stropharias to be found. Maybe there are nutters running around at 4am picking them all out? Again, no disrespect, I am really grateful for all the hints I've been getting! And I'll take your word for it. It's just that my shroomy faith is running a bit low at the mo, too many unsuccessful hours of hunting. Maybe I should see a therapist

Another (as yet unsuccessful) Wellington hunter here. Just to confirm, the Subareuginosa in NZ do definately bruise blue? Thanks.

Every sub I have seen (on pictures) from NZ or otherwise has some degree of blueing. Ranging from little to a lot.

YAY! I went up to the forest today, and had a look around. Forest was mostly pine trees, but sandy soil (it's near a beach), so it was pretty pitiful and didn't find anything useful. Plenty of fly agargic though, and it's always nice to see those. So I went to the other one (where I went the previous time). Instead of venturing into the same area as last time, I tried a new area. Spent an hour looking around, to no avail. THEN I looked at a few which had some brusing. I wasn't sure if they were the right ones (went by myself this time). Picked them anyway, and put them in the bag. Found some more of the same type, and threw them in as well, and saw that there was a LOT of blue bruises on the ones in the bag. Definitely subs They looked similar to some others that I had been finding, but the other ones had yellowish gills and were very fragile. When you touched the caps, they would pretty much break into pieces. The ones I had picked had white stems, white gills, and had some serious bruises on the cap before I even picked them. By the time I had found 8 more around the same area, the shrooms in the bag were completely dark blue. Got a bit lost and came out onto a track, and decided perhaps I should call it a day and head up the track which I was sure lead to the road. On the way, I took a chance and veered back into the bush and not far in, I found some really nice looking subs Very decent sized, and nice thick stems. Ended up bagging 16 altogether I found one that had a small bite out of it and was blue around where it had been nibbled. I'm guessing an animal either had a very interesting day, or freaked out and won't be eating those shrooms in the near future hehe. Not bad for my first solo hunt and to think I was about to go home. Anyways, they're drying right now, and I'm looking forward to testing them this weekend.
For you kiwi hunters, try going into the forests. Find a forest that has pine trees and clay soil. Have a GOOD look around, because the weather lately has been very cold, and still a bit damp. I still haven't had any luck around my area with woodchip mulch, but I've given up on that. Perhaps in the future, but for now, I enjoy the thrill of pushing through a forest and scoping out mushrooms

Those red/orange shrooms/fungi from what i have noticed and from what i've read grow near p. subs, so i would check back on the spots where you say them, after a big rain.
Also in aus the woodchips that i have collected p.subs from are from the 3 seperate park areas i can get them from are usually a grey colour when dry, and are quite big, if i had flicks i could show but i don't so...
I have been to spots early at night probably around 8 or so and found when blindely picking some from a continuious growing patch that the little fuckers eating them are snails, hope they enjoy them as much as i do. I'm just hoping to find a snail passed out beside one of them one morning only to find him gone in the afternoon or his eyes just fixed on the sky not moving or anything .
I feel sorry for you guys having to travel so far, i have it extremely easy i can walk to spots easly and quickly. And 16 you collected, i spose thats a start and it will get you fucked a couple of times but i can collect 50-100 each week from one spot and probably many more from the other spots i know of. I just collected 65 more than half of them with a cap diameter of 3-6 cm's the rest being about 1.5-3 cm which would be medium right? Drying at the moment.

Jesus Christ. Insane. We ate the shrooms last night, 4 for my buddy, 12 for me. I weighed mine with a hand scale, and it barely came out to 2 dry grams, but shit, I pretty much hit a Level 4. After reading the dosage guide on erowid for subs, I find it kind of hard to believe the 12 is a medium dosage.

i think that is pretty much accurate. personally, i dont like erowid's info on shrooms. it has too many other drugs mottled into the info if you know what i mean.
2 dry grams of subs should get you about a 3-4 lvl trip if 3-5 grams of subbs gets you a lvl 3 trip...
have fun

Too many people get Psilocyeb subaeruginosa confussed with Panaeolus subbalteatus by calling them subbs when two species of deiffernet genera are involoved.

I suppose anytime before the sun comes up is good enough. Unless there are other pickers around, then you'd better set up a camp next to your patch and guard it with some heavy weaponry. There seems to be sooo many mushroom hunters in this country it's not even funny.

5am should be a good time. Anytime in the morning is a good time, before the sun gets out, and as long as there's some sunlight so you can see what you're doing.

if your looking under native plants or pinus radiata - and not in woodchips around auckland, you MUST post pictures of what you find. Could be Aucklandii

You brought up a 14 year old thread to repost a mushroom you already put on the threads? You're joking right ?
