 * Tasmania season 2012 *  2

Hi All,
Not the usual start to the Tas season as most people expect P. subaeruginosa pics, but today I found some P. semilanceata while out hiking around.
Found at the the same site as last two years, at the back of a cattle farm in southern tasmania, short to longish grass and lots of moss, south facing paddock, in top shady corner. about 400 - 450 ft above sea level altitude, a little dew, but im thinking only enough, as the caps are a little distorted.
Hopefully over the next few weeks as it gets colder and wetter, i'll be able to photograph some better samples.
These three look a bit distorted, but they have the sticky hygrophanous cap with a viscous layer that can be peeled off:
and the blue staining at the base of the stem:
Here is the thread i started two years ago:
http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/12569847#12569847
These P. semilanceata were from the same location.
Hope fully more pics to come, and be nice to see some P. subaeruginosa to photograph too.
I managed to find a heap of nice Agarics as well, so have made up a nice wild mushroom soup for dinner. Damn it smells amazing.
Cheers, Obtuse.

Hi guys,
Fellow Taswegian here, finally taking the plunge into psychedelics after years of apprehension and research...
I realise there is no chance of me finding out any specific locations on here, I have a mate who said he would take me hunting when the time comes but other than him I don't really know anybody as the majority of my friends have disowned me since I decided I was taking a different Journey to the templated mainstream...
Basically I just wanted to introduce myself and say Hi! 
And hopefully get in contact with some other like-minded locals, because my popularity certainly has taken a downward spiral over the last few months, I'm sure there would be a few of you who understand and know that 'look' you get when you start talking outside the 'box of comfort'...
Also after any tips on when, roughly where and anything else handy to know on finding mushrooms in Tassie (I'm in the Northern region). It looks like this is going to be the year I finally take the plunge so I thought I would join up and get in on some more solid research before I go hunting.
Anyway I think I am starting to ramble now so I'll leave this as is.
Many thanks for taking the time to read this and any helpful responses are very muchly appreciated.
Looking forward to speaking with you all
Peace P

Hello fellow Tasmanians
I'm blessed
Just wanted to say that I am SO HAPPY that the season is upon us. This will be my first REAL attempt at hunting & im already starting to look around.
So far, I've found 3 different types of mushrooms in the last few weeks, but i believe they weren't active (im only looking for subs to start off with). still, i can't wait!!!!!
Buying a camera soon, so i can contribute to this awesome site.
Just a small update (9/4/12)
I've been out again, but still found nothing 
come on rain and temps, DO your thing!!!!!

I mamaged to snag a Tasmanian sub print last time you boys were around and setting to expanding mycelium and introducing to the UK as we speak.
 
Hopefully a litle bit of your magic can call this side of the globe a home from home sometime in the future!

That last picture is one of the subs I found last year.
I assume I traded you a print?
Good to see you got some mycelium happening. Hopefully you get some fruits soon enough.
I am gonna go check one of my patches in about an hour. Not really expecting anything yet, but it's worth a shot.
EDIT: Just got back. Nothing to be found, only 3 inactives. Still fairly dry where I went, but I reckon in the next fortnight or so things should get better.

Good work as usual obtuse. I had a look at a well known spot last weekend but no luck. Just managed to get a leech on my arm had a look near a pub in a paddock lots of non actives which usually tells me subs arnt far away. Hope I am lucky enough to find some liberty caps this year. How was the potency BTW compared to subs

Hi All,
Had my first Tassie hunt today after a fair bit of rain and now freezing temperatures. Found a very nice variety of non-actives in my sweetspots, some of which are below. Feel free to ID some, I'd be interested in knowing what I picked up! I am 99% sure non are active, some look alike but compared to the subs I found last year have different gill colours etc. Bring on a big Tassie winter!

I have a gut feeling there might be some growth. I will go see today...
{edit}
went for a walk around mt wellington area, saw just a few pins and 3 or 4 grown subs. The dense areas I know of haven't started fruiting yet.
{/edit}
--------------------
If every day is the same as the last, why live to see tomorrow?

Hello All
just an update
I've been looking anywhere & everywhere i believe actives could be found, even had a person give me that "what's he doing?" look LOL but anyway, no luck whatsoever.
I did for a moment think that i may have found some liberty caps ( they looked similar ( the caps did ) to the ones you found obtuse ) but,
the spore colour was black and the stems were much shorter, oh well.
Anyway, since there has been no ...., im gonna give up for a little while.
btw, buying a camera this weekend. Any suggestions on a good one to get? I'm hoping to get one small in size (for easy carrying), but big on quality*.
*Especially for shooting our favorite little friends in the wild  any suggestions would be great
Thanks and Cya soon

Hey buddy I think its a little while a way till it really kicks in too, I can think of one spot though which should b ready by end of April to suggest a camera I have a cannon which is great. I have a friend who works for stallards who told me to buy a brand which just produces cameras as they as usually better picture quality than other brands. So like a Kodak ,cannon, stay away from Fuji, pentax though happy hunting!

Hey Frenchy,
None of what you have pictured is Psilocybe.
I would really strongly suggest you learn very well how to tell things apart. Things like Cortinarius eartoxicus and Galerina patagonica are scarily similar to Psilocybe subaeruginosa.
Cheers
Edit: BTW I saw both P. subaeruginosa and P. semilanceata in the Blue Tier area over Easter, so they're getting going.

Hey Tas75,
Yeah I knew none of them were active, I was just showing some inactives in my area for the fun of it. But thanks though - I've mistaken galerina for subs before! That's awesome about the blue tier activity, I'm on the NW coast unfortunately.. but hopefully I find some action soon!

Went for some walks with the missus at Mt Field today. Saw one sub, a real looker. Definitely getting closer to season, can't wait!

Hello scrogman
Thanks for the advice, much appreciated
With your words of advice i went shopping today and got myself a Cannon IXUS 220 HS Was told by a few people that it's a great camera and now i have one
Will test it out soon with a shot of an inactive soon (i hope), i'll then show you all the results.
Again thanks for the helpful advice scrogman
