Hey, after I've dried my mushrooms to cracker dry I put them in a airtight container/jar with food safe desiccant packets (ebays got them cheap but you have to wait a few weeks) this'll keep them Nice and dry, if you keep them in a cool place out if direct sun light they should last for years.

I put all my dried mushrooms back into the food dehydrator again to get them all back to 100% crisp cracker dry then back into the jar with a desiccant & silica gel packet from pill bottles I have.
This should be safe/do the job right?

Went out to where I had success for the first time last year. Had to search for quite a bit but I eventually found a few nice specimens.

Hey guys, went out for a hunt on the weekend in the deep South Fleurieu in forest area and had a little find. Didn't get any habitat shots as left the camera in the car but was wondering if anyone could ID these and let us know if they reckon they are Subs? The Gallerina talk makes a n00b like myself nervous. haha. They bruised blue and spore printed purpley we think, it's kinda hard to tell as we haven't really got the point of comparison.
Also, there was a weird one that dried and left a white spore print when I spore printed them (the second pic, smaller one up the top left), anyone know what that would be? Found it quite interesting.
Anyways, any feedback would be most obliged, cheers guys.

The one in second pic top left looks like Mycena sp. and matches a white spore print.
As to scare of Galerina, check out some of the recent threads in the ID sub forum, there's two threads discussing it and the differences between them and subs. (Orange-brown stem, orange-brown gills, rusty brown spore print, annulus (small ring on stem))

Hi all,
I was keen to know if anyone has seen how the bushfires have affected mycelium to the north east. I haven't had a chance to get up close and personal with the burnt scrub yet. But the soil looks very baron and sterile.
Thanks

Hi All,
I know you cant disclose locations, just after general info. have people had much luck in the Mt. Crawford Forest - Mt Pleasant area? Have seen every other species of mushroom except the seemingly elusive sub. Either that orit is a high traffic area and it's getting cleaned out. Some advice of a general nature very much appreciated from the wise and generous brains trust.
Many thanks and loving all of your pics

Hi all,
Fairly inexperienced first-time poster here. Went for a bit of a hike today and found a spot I hope will be promising. Found a few what i believe are subs and a number of similar lookers which i would really appreciate your help in identifying.
Subs

Unsure about these larger ones

There were also many of these around, can anyone ID them?

As well as many inactives, such as this amazing Cortinarius archeri?

And these orange coloured ones literally everywhere

Any help with identification would be much appreciated. Will have a spore print sometime tomorrow.
Thanks!

Your unidentified ones are Cortinarius and Laccaria

Hi all, first time poster, long time reader...Just wondering if mycena sp. are poisonous? There a literally thousands in my back yard. I checked them out and they have a white spore print. Also if I get a couple psilobile roots/stubs, what are the chances of them growing in my yard?

Hi all, first season forager here.
Found these larger ones two days ago on wet grassy and bark-strewn ground below eucalypts and the occasional pine in the central Adelaide hills; not sure what I'm dealing with and would appreciate an ID. Some of the well-developed caps either broke off in handling and transit or fell off overnight.
The larger ones each seem quite substantial in size comparison to most of the pics of subs I see (which I was hoping they were). The gills were already well-developed, open, dry, and brown, and the surface of the caps are all quite gnarled as you can see. I haven't cleaned the dirt off them. Spore prints are pending overnight. Most if not all stalks all display varying degree of purple or blue as hinted at in the pics.


I know the yellow/orange one near the middle right is different to the rest (taking a print of that one so I can learn since I see a lot of them), but the blue colour on the large ones really attracted my attention.
The smaller young/pin-like ones at the top right (I took a few samples for ID purposes here) seem to display partly veiled or fully veiled purple gills and were found in a separate area not far away. They seem not to have bruised blue (more pinkish) but are still holding moisture and displayed hints of blue near the tops of the stalks when I picked them and, as I say, the gills are purplish. When I snipped the caps off them, the stalks appear internally purple.


Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

Hey Bails,
You've got a bunch of Cortinarius archeri. And that little one with the orange cap and gills is something else, it's definitely not not a P sub or any other active mushroom, but I'm not sure exactly what it is from those pics. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Keep looking, you'll strike gold soon!

Ah. Thanks for that, zed. Yeah, I had a feeling I was barking up the wrong mushroom. Much obliged. I'll be back.

Long time lurker, first time poster. A buddy and I were talking about mushrooms all morning and decided to go for a walk to a little patch of eucalyptus tree's twenty meters away from his house to get some sun. We were joking about wouldn't it be awesome if we walked around this corner and found a patch of hundreds, and then we walked around the corner and found a monsterous patch of subs! Synchronicity.

Hi guys, found this one the other day at work, deep in a native conservation park.. Thinking its Amanita regalis. Can anyone confirm? Not the best photo though sorry. I accidentally damaged it with my boot!

SludgeCity said: Hey I know this is a little off-topic but with the recent small hauls I have had I have been trying drying out for the first time & storing.
I used a food dehydrator until they were all cracker crisp dry, I looked up how people store their dried mushrooms a bit & most people just said a air-tight sealed glass jar. I went to the shops & got (what I assume is air-tight) glass food storing jar. I've left the dried subs in their for about just over a week now & when adding a few new dried ones from this weekend I noticed the ones in the jar from last week were now more softer & more bendy then cracker crisp & has a slight "smell" to the jar.
Is this something to worry about or fix-able? Should I just put a desiccant in the jar with the mushrooms to fix this or back in the food dehydrator? I hope I haven't caused them to rot in anyway.

Hey Sludge, I did the same as you & had the same results. Stored cracker dry with silica desiccant in a airtight glass jar, in a dry cool location, within a week they were flexible. I left them for 9 months, tried some and they had gone inactive that was 80 or so specimens, so I proceeded to eat them all; in the name of science & didn't trip but I had blurry vision and my muscles were slightly weak, minor/negligible side effects lasted for 36hrs. My friend on the other hand dried his, cut them up into bits and stored them in homemade chocolates and they are still good to this day. So choc vs glass jar, for long term storage = choc wins
