Some shots from this morning.... Sorry for the large images, I ran out of upload space a long time ago so I have to use offsite image hosting. Will get a supporter account again next week so I can upload direct.
Habitat shot:

And the finds:

Not bad for a mornings work Nevermind 
To enveloped I suggest that next time you find any mushrooms that you think maybe the right ones, that it's better if you make a stand alone post in Mushroom Hunting and Identification itself. This will help you get replies much faster (and confirmation) then posting in this thread.
If all you had were those three? I don't think it wouldn't have mattered if they were anyway. In my opinion you need at least 5 (and that's the big ones) to, up to 10 plus of smaller ones to get any real effect.
Also you should make spore prints (if you don't know how?, do a search on this site). The advice I remember from when I first started out was that print to make sure. Since there are some mushrooms that kill or severally wreck the liver, it's wise to take all precautions.
Obtuse At what point do mushrooms start to drop spores? And at what stage of growth do they drop the most (that is, that they really start consistently dropping spores)?
Mushroom_Spider Great find from previous page, you're on fire!!!

Went hunting for the first time today, only ever seen truffles in Amsterdam, so I had no idea what to look for. Found this place (shroomery.org) and noticed that what I found was likely wrong. It was in a dry sclerophyll area that I followed the ridge line until I could see a valley with a line of wet sclerophyll along where a river would flow if the catchment was larger. I figured I'd still like to know what I found so I know whether I can consume them even if they are inactives.
Found this big boy on the base of a eucalyptus on the southerly side of a dry sclerophyll hill

Mostly found these, you can barely see but the stems are pigmented similarly to the cap.


And apart from that, seeing as you guys are more educated in the local species, I found a few random ones over the place.




Then my phone died. I would love some info, planning on searching in a completely different area soon. Happy hunting!

Here are some more pics. I may have to get myself that book on Tasmanian Fungi. I like knowing the local species of things. I'd also like to try combining kombucha with some kind of psilocybe to make a tasty enlightening beverage if anyone has any knowledge in this area, would be mint.
A range of cool little finds (some paper towel on the caps of a couple )

These are number 2 from my above post.

Any info on these would be much appreciated, now that I've found you guys I know what I'm looking for. I collected what I found to get a friend to teach me to ID the active ones, turns out he has only seen blue ones.

From the photos you posted, it looks like you're looking in the right sort of habitat. Maybe expand your search in that general area, you may get lucky.

Some more finds today First photo is from a pine spot that was pretty dry but found these in amongst the grass, we're quite hard to find especially in the tall grass. Didn't find a heap here last year but let's say I've been doing some mulching here and I think it's helped retain moisture. Healthy looking apart from the two in the middle that we're near dry on the cap but had a bit if meat in the stems. (Were found on the edge of grass)

Second is a haul from the spot I got the most from last year, still not at potential but a few good ones

Found 59 Gold tops in a suburb just out of Hobart today

That feeling, that place I go when this happens, that phenomena is other-worldly.'

Ouch mate, you should take some scissors with you and cut them off near ground level so they regrow. You might not get anymore from where you picked those ones. Also hi everyone, new here. :-)
