Give me those green cap P.papuana any day. Love that colour. Thanks for a pic nomination Adden
I'll be off to find a purple cap P.papuana on the weekend. With a little bit of help from twenty green cap ones to help my vision.

Hey Heyowana! I still love looking at your pics, pretty much the first thing I do every morning is come have a peak in here to see if you've got more pics so cheers for that.
Have you guys had a cool summer over there? I know it's been wet for you, to me this has been the coolest summer I can remember for a long time for SA. If you've had the same has it helped your finds during summer or is it same as usual?

Hi NBYK We are experiencing the hottest Summer on record over here. I enjoy posting pics of P.papuana. They look fairly drab in the ground. Put them out in the light and wow.
Last year when I was finding them it was a very hot dry Autumn. Inski mentioned last year that it might pay to look in more elevated tropical locations.
First two Summers here after I moved in I had the fire going at Christmas and into the New Year. Those were the best years for P.subaeruginosa. So it looks like P.papuana likes warm weather here because I couldn't find one come June last year.
My comment above about finding a purple one was a bit flippant ( found an excuse to use that word.) I think I'd need more than twenty to find a purple cap one with my eyes open.

Image 1,2. Gold P.papuana from original bunch. 3,4. The other gold one growing close by. Dry again. Not much else to see.

Thank you very much. I'm reluctant to discuss the potency of this species on these forums. I found 30 dried out ones. Included 5 caps that had been spore printed. Plus 4 of the gold ones. Weight for weight not much because they were so small and shrivelled up.
Back to the Garden Of Eden. Nothing compares for potency, brightness and duration.
They purge like cactus. Twenty minutes after taking them I had to defecate three times until my bowels were empty. Then the ride began. I'll discuss this via PM if anyone wants to talk about it.

Gold? Is this the drying out color? Or are these always gold?

These specimens were growing around the logs. Not under bush cover like the green cap ones. They are a gold colour on the cap. When they dry out the cap goes more a beige colour. Similar to the others which go beige with a darker colour around the gill edge of the cap.
There are others which come out in more open situations that always have a dark brown/black cap. These tend to stay dark when they dry out. The cap on these ones never opens up like the others but retains a liberty cap shape. Examples of these were from last season with a couple from this season. As shown below.

More images of the dark cap P.papuana with a cap that doesn't flatten out with age.

We received about an inch of storm rain over the last few days. P.papuana starting to pop out at the spot where they fruited before.The bigger bunch I was resting my arms on as I took the first pic.
So I took a few pics of them to study them under magnification.

Nice update. What's the weather been like where you live? Ridiculously, ridiculously hot? I'm wondering how mushrooms can even grow in the summer you guys are having this year.

Thank you. I'm starting to wonder about the colours coming up from the same little patches of mycelium. The black one is there right where the other black one was a couple of weeks ago.
Perhaps a common phenomena with mushrooms? Like being colour coded with matching morphology. All within the one species. Maybe? I'd like to think they are unique. For me they are.

Hot as hell. Breaking records everywhere. I've never seen it here in the mid forties before. It's hard for me to say whether this is ideal weather for P.papuana. I have so little knowledge about them. So each time they pop I'll make observations about any idiosyncrasies within this species.
So far they like hot weather. P.tasmaniana isn't flushing now because I think the heat has set them back for fruiting. Hopefully I'm wrong. Another storm is hitting now so it looks like good weather for hunting over the next few days.

Getting cooler here now mate so hopefully the season is starting to change for you... and you are getting as excited as me. Just going by the names P.Papuana to me sounds like it would like tropical conditions and P.Tasmania sounds like it would prefer the cold. I guess it doesn't work like that though. 
I'm going to keep my eye out for new things but I have a feeling I won't find P.Papuana down here, thanks for keeping the pics coming through summer it's been great to watch.

Micrographs of the two distinct spore shapes in P.papuana.
I'm wondering if this could give rise to the huge amount of phenotypes within this species. If it was possible on a microscopic level to isolate each type of spore and culture it? Even if not as the mycelium from one spore shape crosses over mycelium from other shape and gives a hybrid? fruit within that species.
All speculation as I'm dumb when it comes to mycology.

Ericos Bob (I know his avatar is not that now) said he'd seen similar looking mushrooms to P.papuana in SA. They are in Sydney and the Blue Mountains. South Australia gets really hot weather in Summer being a mediterranean climate. All you need is enough heat with the rain before getting into the cold wet Winter.
P.papuana is probably common. Just people haven't looked for them in Summer and early Autumn when they are most likely to be fruiting.
I wouldn't put too much stock in the names P.papuana and P.tasmaniana. For all intents and purposes P.papuana is a mushroom that grows in NSW so far. P.tasmaniana is a species that grows in NSW and New Zealand to date. In the future as more people find out about those two species their distribution will spread into other states. Its almost certain in time.
