What do people think about telling the school what I found in the garden bed? It's in an early child section... My girl is a teacher and went spaz because I didn't tell anyone. Thoughts?
If I were you I'd put on a fluoro vest, grab a bin bag and get picking. It'd look like you were picking up rubbish. As for the school patch, I'd be more concerned about mushrooms that aren't subs

I have an amazing patch at a primary school. I could literally pick half a kilo there each week. Half of it has had heavy mulch laid over it and the mushrooms don't fruit anymore, but the other part is still good to go, although hasn't started fruiting as of yet... few more weeks and it should be good.
It's up to you whether you tell anyone about it. Personally, I wouldn't, but I suppose if it's for young children (5 and under) then maybe you should say something as younger children tend to put almost anything in their mouths.

I disagree, Kinder children are usually old enough to have grown out of putting things in their mouths.
To be honest Subhunter I think your girl is overreacting a bit because to most people mushrooms are mushrooms and they steer clear of them, including kids. You're more at risk of another shroomer coming in and picking that patch - good thing for you the school attendant isn't onto them!
If I were you guys and had some patches in schools, I'd be going in after hours - after 4:30pm on weekdays as admin and most senior staff have finished by then, or better still any time on a weekend, and start picking them. You can wear high-vis if you like, it might make you less suspicious to passers by. Be aware that the majority of schools now have security cameras installed too...

the college i went to had an abundance of shrooms growing around the ground. it is what it is. they were stupid to build a school near where shrooms were growing. they should be imprisoned for endangering the lives of school childrenobviously

If you're talking about a college in the general Hobart area, then I reckon I know the one you're talking about. It's a well known spot among many people.

Found maybe half a kilo this morning but many of them were frozen solid. Has anyone had any experienced any noticeable potency loss from picked frozen shrooms? I know when you freeze fresh it renders them pretty much useless. Does the same principle apply does anyone know? Cheers

For some reason I have only been able to upload half my images to Shroomery, so once again I apologise for the large pics.
Got to my first patch and someone has trashed it... ferns had been ripped out and thrown all kinds of inactives had been picked and thrown on the ground. I even found a ziplock bag with a few inactives that looked nothing like subs... So it seems I'm sharing my patch with some noobs who have no idea what they're doing. I just hope it's not one of you guys.
I only ended up finding about 6 subs, but then I decided to go deep into the ferns,and it paid off! I found some some very good sized subs in there, much bigger than what I normally find in that area. I came out soaking wet, but it was worth it.

     
I then headed down to a couple of my other patches which are just now starting to fruit!
    
Very happy with todays hunt. Got some good sized subs, much better than the small - medium ones I've been getting lately.

Thanks mate. I've been picking at these patches for a few years now, yet it still amazes me how much the appearance of the subs vary at each patch.
This particular patch usually has subs with conical shaped caps, these broad flat caps are unusual for this particular patch.

Nice work Subhunter.
I haven't picked a big bag like that for a long time. Very jealous. It's a great feeling leaving a patch with a big bag of subs in your hand, feels like a great achievement.
