Hi All,
This is my first post, and time picking/discovering in Tas (I hail from the Northern NSW coast).
Went for a wander through the Huon Valley this morning and stumbled across a wide variety of fungus, some of which we hope are subaeruginosa.
Could any of you give us a hand identifying these little guys? Would be much appreciated. There were four or so other species which looked similar but were definitely not the same, which I may have got confused. In particular, we are concerned about the larger ones- does subaeruginosa grow to this size?
These pics are all taken about two hours after picking:
(^ do they get this big? There are also differences in them in the caps- some are almost completely flat yet others are quite domed?)
Also, this is one of the other little guys we saw- anyone know what it is? The stem was pure snow white (as are the gills) when I picked it, but has since greyed.
Amazing walk this morning- have never seen such an abundance of species growing so close together- have spotted amanita muscaras, purples mushrooms and even a weird green and gold ones- most of which I didn't manage to get a photo of - but can definitely say that this morning, the fungus was most certainly among us (or were we amongst it!?)
(did manage one of the purple, though)
Any help would be appreciated

First set of pics are subs, and nice looking ones too. Don't pull them up from the ground, use scissors next time. For now, take all the stem butts with mycelium attached and put them back out in a good habitat to spawn new patches.
Not sure on #2. Maybe a Mycena sp, but I'm terrible with southern hemisphere ID's
#3 looks like a Russula sp.

Yeah, sorry, kind of camping at the time and no scissors on hand- did pull the bottoms off most of them (and most of the bottoms on the rest of them) and put them back :s left a good deal of what we found as well... sorry on the pins- we get meenies up where I'm from and they don't get a whole lot bigger than that...
Thanks for the help with the IDs though- so they mainly look good? I'm a little worried that some of them may not be right and got mixed in :S but I'm pretty sure I dodged any Galerina patagonica as I noticed they only grew on wood?
Wish I'd got some pictures of the spread this morning- camera wouldn't work- so many different ones- think I saw some liberty caps? But wasn't sure so let them be.

Russula species. Think it's in my book but I am at work will look when I get home for you. Cool colour.

Cool colour. That's what I thought! Cheers for the IDs
Loving all the colours of the fungus down here! Hunting at home is usually the old brown to white range- this feels like being down the rabbit hole!
PS: Sorry to be a pain but just looking for a specific "yes" or "no" on the bigger ones- is the difference in the caps irrelevant or are there two different kinds mixed in there?

It's most likely just from the color fading while they mature and the caps flatten out. You're all good

All seem to have blue brusing aswell.
Print them big fuckers or do some cardboard work etc. they look like monsters.

Awesome, yeah that's what we figured- they were all bruising fairly well (and a lot of them are now almost black they're that blue) but I definitely wanting to check lol
also: update: we've cut the ends off and put all the root balls in the closest thing we could find to fungus heaven (I think we got pretty close :P). Might be too little too late? But maybe hopefully some of them will take :S
Just to be a pest: does anyone have any tips on good drying techniques (we are sans dehydrator and oven- not that we'd cook them)?
PS: We've already taken prints from the biggest ones

Nice. Still wait for a trusted Identifier please though.
Fresh is best mate
Go buy some damprid and a tote with a lid at woolies/safeway. $10 at most. Will get to cracker dry in few days.

Yeah we wanted to take them on the w/e so we'll have to dry them out... means we have time to wait for a few more confirmations
Cheers on the tip, too

Wat day? F,S or S??
you can wrap say a group of 7-10 in some paper towel and store them in the fridge down with the veges for 7 days. Weigh them out when you wrap them and write the weight on the towel. They lose water weight in fridge but still retain that extra kick fresh ones have this way. This my method for when i grow cubes and harvest is before i want to trip.

Dunno, maybe Fri, depending on a couple of other people... that fridge idea sounds like a mad way to do it!

It works mate. just like how you would store normal shrooms in a fridge but with more paper towel this time so all the moisture is absorbed. The mushroom goes a little leathery twords day 7.
You wont end up with rotten mushrooms, when i find some will write up a tek. and than add some more pics when i make my next batch of cakes.

Some of those almost look like Psilocybe cyanescens. Weird how close subbs can look to cyans with a bit of wavy cap margin.

Hello bfogg8706 and maynardjameskeenan
Actually, i was thinking how they seemed different to the subs i recently found in Melbourne. If these are not subs? are they more potent or less?
Was planing on having 15-20 of them tomorrow ( i do like big trips )
good idea or bad?. if they were subs, i would have had 15-20 fresh.
Any advice would be great, as it'd save me from a SUPER MEGA bad trip like the one i had last time i tripped.

Potency should be roughly the same as subs.
