Thanks! those yellow stainer's are everywhere here now! I haven't been for many years and I am more familiar with down south (been in the North for a few years now). Down south I usually had my best luck between the pine and the bush along the trenches. Will have to check out both pine & bush looking at your amazing pics!
most of the guys on the SA hunting thread are up north. subs grow in both places, pine and bush and everywhere in-between gees man, not far from there to here, if i was you id start back at my old stomping grounds, get my hand in again and then go from there

Dermocybe is a subgenus of Cortinarius.
wow, cool, thanks Ran-D, the only 3 Clitocybe in the book I'm referencing look nothing like that. so if a mushroom is suspected as being a Dermocybe then its reffered to as a Cortinarius ?
will also write their names in italic now

Looks like Clitocybe(aka Lepista) nuda

You can call 'em Dermocybe, I was basically just saying this is not a Cort.
The italic thing isn't really necessary on here I guess, it does help make the name stand out though.
I want to go to Australia and hunt.

a beautiful morning for a hunt  I've not been to this place this early in the season before, noticed last year when i went here for the first time that there were a few advanced subs that were rotting already so this year i thought id go a few weeks earlier and see what up. sadly for Olive the dog, who is my hunting partner, she is not allowed to come to this spot as its a reserve. 

seen the usual fungi on the way in, most of the ones i have already posted here so i didn't take any pics, also I'm finding the 100% charge on the phone doesn't last long when taking pics so gotta be sparing with how many pics are taken. aint gonna lug around the big cannon thing i have as the macro doesn't work on it and truly its a hassle. soon we will buy ourselves a slick little pocket sized pic taker.
soon as i got to the creek line, there they were, lots of them    
p. subaeruginosa

a wonderful early flush   

much macrolepiota cleandii at this place. wasn't prepared for collecting edibles, so next time I'm here we will come prepared and collect some of these to eat.

???

lepista nuda book says - Early records from near pines and exotic trees suggest that it is an introduced species. it is becoming increasingly common and widespread in our native forests.

p. subaeruginosa, had to have a second look at this one as there is no laccaria here, yet this sub has a similar cap as the pine laccaria that are in SA

hygrocybe chromolimonea


one of my favourite places in the world, a spot i call 'eucalyptus island', its not really an island, more of a spit, or point of land thats surrounded on 3 sides by a small river and on the back side by a very steep incline of rock. this gives it an island appearance especially in full on winter when the river is pumping. i kinda imagine that this place is like what it was like before european colonisation.

p. subaeruginosa 

this may be a chalciporus piperatus an introduced species, bit odd though, there is a largish patch of them smack bang in the middle of no where. maybe its a look a like indigenous species.

gymnopilus sp maybe a gymnoplus purpuratus or a form of gymnopilus dilepis

agaricus xanthodermus

some early p. subaeruginosa risers at 'johnies giggle tree', so named as the subs here make John laugh alot 

blue staining bolete, unsure of the latin name.

amanita umbrinella

p. subaeruginosa   

groovy ant nests 


this front sat there all morning, stayed nice and dry which is always a bonus

Awesome pics! Those ant nests!! Did you see any ants? they must have been enormous... 
 Thanks for your advice I've picked some good looking spots out with google but haven't gone out yet, the old grounds down south involved a dodgy hike across some private land and big red encounters. Was some scary shit on night hunts! I'm too old and slow for that now lol. Your thread keeps me inspired! I can't wait get out there in the next few days.. thanks!
Finding subs on my hunts will just be a bonus I think. I'm just looking forward to getting back out into the forest air, walking around and taking pictures.. Have you eaten the yellow stainers? I read they are edible but can cause nasty reactions in some people...

didn't see the ants man, was very impressed at the nests though, takes a lot of time and energy for them to make such things dunno if id eat a yellow stainer, they do look good though, nice and fluffy. the pink gills look like a shop bought edible agaricus. look forward to some pics of your sub finds man

think the phone is 4megapixels, so where doing ok, takes quite good macro pics but has limited focus area. she's pumping nice and early this year cuz of the cold nights and heavy dew. them red caps are also amongst my have types around, very unique they are, I'm not aware of another place they grow.

had some time this arvo for a few hours - so off we go   cloudy afternoon, been trying to rain all day, started to spit a bit whilst i was hunting.
this place isn't far from the nearest town, drive past it all the time and thought it'd be a good place to start. wasn't much there, will have another look later in the season i think as it has promise.
gymnopilus sp
and then on to the intended hunt location that we had in mind. this is a nice place, bit of gully thats on the side of a dirt road, have been here before so i was expecting to find some mushrooms 
I've nothing to call the ones below as there is nothing like them i can see in the book i got. at a guess, like all the id's i tryn make these may be a Rickenella sp
there are pines throughout and on the other side of the little gully, their needles are everywhere. and so are the p. subaeruginosa   

Leucocoprinus birnbaumii..........maybe
seems we have had the phone on 'square' format instead of reg photo, pics look bigger 

a p. subaeruginosa with some interesting cap colours 
Mycena sp
Omphalotus nidiformis
Coprinus disseminatus
next to the gully is a pine plantation, there are cows in here as well.
p. subaeruginosa 
fat ass sits on subs 

Mycena sp..... or ?

Rhodocollybia butyracea
p. subaeruginosa

subs on the rocks

a very nice track indeed

The best books for southern Australia are probably Bruce Fuhrer's Field Guide to Australian Fungi and Gates & Ratkowsky's Field Guide to Tasmanian Fungi. Both cover lots of species with good photos and descriptions.

thank heaps TimmiT. 
got Bruce Fuhrer's Field Guide to Australian Fungi, this is the one we have been referencing in our attempt to try and id some of the mush that are in this thread. Gates & Ratkowsky's Field Guide to Tasmanian Fungi looks very good so after a bit of a search i have ordered it 
here is the link if anyone is interested http://fungimap.org.au/index.php/bookshop/australian-field-guides/results,1-30

Cheers for the link, that's on my birthday wishlist now! Have you used the FungiOz app? http://www.fungioz.com/fungioz-app.html Has lots of pretty pictures but probably not as good as your book

and thanks heaps for that link man, i like it already, bookmarked 
 
some good rain last night meant that there was a fair bit of water around today  started in the pines, a longish walk thats fairly hilly, gets them legs a working sadly we forgot our lighter so many cones were had with the cig lighter in the car, noticed the lighter missing not far from the vehicle so went back to smoke it up before heading out, smokeless hunt was still good  
Hygrophorus sp
Gymnopilus junonius
and into a little valley where the subs grow  p. subaeruginosa

something different amongst all the normal pine mushrooms could it be a Agaricus or a Amanita or a Leucoagaricus ?? 

down along the creek that runs through the gully
Amanita muscaria
then we cross into this bush bit, its nice, later in the season it comes alive with lotsa cortinarius
they chop the pine trees down in here, the seeds have been dropped by birds and animals and pine trees grow. all that dead wood will be good for mycelium in the ground in these areas.
once through the corridor of bush we come out a fire break/road and into another pine valley
p. subaeruginosa   this is the top of a large patch that runs the length of this valley, up this end the subs are just starting, heaps of pins here, this place will look good in a week or 2.

no point continuing up the valley so we head down
Gymnopilus junonius large 
have to pass through a few more pine coups with little sub action before getting to.......

......this every nice place   

Ramaria snapicolor


home patches progressing nicely   
i swiped this pine cone from a place near by last year as it had a interesting looking gym growing from it. placed it in a future sub patch in the garden and it has fruited

we are chuffed that yous two are enjoying olives and i's efforts, were having much fun and learning lots it does mean a lot to our hack selves to have you two guys ogglin our spooge.    

today we went on a bit of walk.  theres a very large pine plantation that I've wanted to have a look in for a while and what a fine day to do it in    
this place is hard going, valley after valley of hills. my legs hurt and the dog is crashed out on the couch. we found no subs, lots of the usual lot of fungi about, some places were void of anything at all which was a surprise.
some mean hills to climb to get to the pines, looks as if some others have died trying 
oudemmansiells radicata...... quite large specimens 
nice valleys to follow up and down

macrolepiota clelandii
lepiota haemorrhagica
then it was through one area to the next, covered some km's
why  
some more lovely scenery, this area is a large hidden valley in the middle of two huge pine areas.
had to cross a few paddocks in our adventure, we ran for our lives half way through this one cuz these cows were bounding down the hill at great speed   cows don't like strange dogs.
some particularly wet spots with lotsa cow poo, looked for interesting things in the poop, there were none.......
our hopes lifted a tad when we next discovered this blue gum plantation along a creek line, there was very little fungal activity at all here on the surface that i could see.
managed to do a huge loop and ended up near where i entered the first pine coup at the begging of the walk.......wooooooot, awesome as backtracking often sux imo 

was nice to tick this place off the list in a way, i may go back in a month and check it out again as some of the areas do look mighty promising. tomoz we will hit two places that def have the fruits we are looking for     

one of our p. cyanescens tubs that are fruiting, a nice cluster

Does look like a good spot Signeg, I've a few projects underway to start more patches.  

was a clear morning yesterday, nice n sharp for a hunt. the sun reaches these valleys later in the morning so they stay mostly wet throughout the day, the walk in is always nice, lotsa things to see. 

the Gymnopilus junonius are putting on some size as the season progresses.
Galerina sp

1.Pisolithus arhizus 3.Oudemansiella radicata 4.Stropharia semiglobata

p. subaeruginosa 
often see bases of dead pines and fallen logs that have been trashed like in the pics below, I've wondered what yummy mycelium the animal was after to go such trouble. it looks as if it may be this Tapinella sp

Quite a lot of the p. subaeruginosa at this patch are under the blackberries which are loosing their leaves, this makes spotting them a bit of a challenge 



Was a double hunt yeterday, at this second place i met a friend from the forums who's a cool cat, coincidentally he was hunting in the same area   
Hypholoma sp
just can't get enough of the Amanita muscaria
p. subaeruginosa   
way out of my league to even guess this one, closest thing in the Fuhrer book i can find is a Byssomerulius sp 
p. subaeruginosa  much easier going here as the pines are large and far apart
Galerina sp
and some colour on the way out....... Dermocybe splendida
Panaeolus foenisecii
Gymnopilus dilepis
