Well, they're certainly popping up around the place now. I saw several flushes ranging from pins only to fully open specimens, and the odd old one about as well.
Enjoy!

Hopefully over the next few weeks as it gets colder and wetter, i'll be able to photograph some better samples.

Hello All
Here's two shots taken from my new camera;
When i saw the second one from afar, i thought that i had found an active, but it wasn't Still, it won't be long
btw, after getting this camera (Cannon IXUS 220 HS) ( primarily for mushrooms ), i learned that there is a updated model, it's the Cannon IXUS 230 HS. It has a wider lens 28mm (my camera 24mm) and larger optical zoom X8 (my camera X5) (Also has some minor improvements over the 220). Oh well.
Anyway, hope the photo's are of good enough quality
Cya later

Is the 2nd photo a Gymnopilus species?

hey guys. Its certainly been a few years since Ive been a member on here, I couldnt even remember my old account. Just came back from a hunt today. within the southern midlands area. GOOD RESULTS from my private patch. I collected around 20 specimens. I found dozens of pin heads, many semi mature specimens, some mature ones, and also some old ones, probably from the rain a good week ago. A few warm days coming up tommrow I think, might put a little hold on the season, but its definatly started anyway. If there is anyone from the southern region who would like to catch up, PM me, I would like a tripper to meet as I dont have a fellow tripper anymore... Tell me off for my post-dont really care... anyway, regards to all you Tassie peeps who are keen for the season. Regards

Your post almost violates the rules because we don't allow asking for hunting partners. But you never said you wanted to hunt mushrooms or do anything illegal, so its perfectly fine.

What species? P. subaeruginosa? I've been seeing both that and P. semilanceata around. I also saw a nice ergot (Claviceps purpurea) infestation on ryegrass and some native grasses in southern Tasmania yesterday. I took a photo, I'll post it when I remember to bring my camera to a computer!

Like Alan said. For all intents and purposes all mushrooms and toadstools have mycelium, including those that can kill you.

As promised, Claviceps purpurea growing on ryegrass (Lolium perenne) in Tasmania. It was a cold winter and a wet late summer, perfect conditions for ergot. I'd say 90% of ryegrass in the area I took the picture was infected, as well as a few other grasses.

Came back to some I saw a few days ago today. It's been too dry and they were starting to dry out themselves... Here they are.
-------------------- If every day is the same as the last, why live to see tomorrow?

Nice find Tas75.
While i havent found any myself, i have heard of them being around in tassie in the past.
Yes, Toxic, but the source of "St Antonys Fire". They contain a lot of ergotamines which are potent vasoconstrictors causing gangrene etc.
Also the source of LSA, from which Dr Hofmann had his little discovery.
Hope you all had a happy bicycle day yesterday.
Cheers, Obtuse.

I don't know... I suppose. The great ergotism outbreaks of the middle ages had all sorts of associated diseases like gangrene, etc... and I think ergot alkaloids are very strong vasoconstrictors, hence the gangrene, maybe..
I just like photographing them!
