Zebes, from what i've noticed from patches of mine over the last couple of years the subs seem to mainly grow in light grey large woodchips that turn a light brown when wet and are easly found in public suburban parks.

Lucky south islanders! I had a look the other day in my usual area for Aucklandii, but no sign of anything. It's still too warm and not wet enough yet.

I never realised people from NZ where posting on the net, i'm glad I found this forum. Is anyone in Auckland finding subs yet? I havn't even found amanitas yet. The weather is shit, sort of cold at night and still dry and hot during the day, I first found a nice patch of very potent subs very early May last year and thats getting close to only being a month away, damn global warming. Has anyone found these funny little shrooms that look alot like normal subs except they are very black when small and black/dark grey when mature, they grow on wood chips in suburban parks (Keith Hay park, Mt. Roskill, in the bush behind the soccer field) and so on in fairly large numbers. There not very potent but I havn't been able to identify them yet. Me and my mate are eagerly awaiting the first flush.... hopefully it will be in 2-3 weeks as I predicted. Those are nice pinners, my mate found about 15 working in someones backyard (hes a gardener), very very potent. Oh and, where do you find aucklandii growing Sheepish? I've only seen pictures but would like to find them.

bluemeanie, about that patch did you find them subs or did you put spores in yourself (manually transported) and water them?

As far as Amanitas go, I was really surprised at how many amanitas muscaria there were when I went biking in Rotovegas on the weekend! They were absolutely everywhere. Could have come home with a kleensack full!
This begs the question do do you think I'm likely to find P.subs there when it gets a little colder?

Havn't had any good rain since those first pins I found, like Resolute said, cold nights, hot days.

I've found that the 'new' tanbark/woodchips that gets put into parks and the like doesn't seem to be that great of an environment for subs. Usually I can tell which chips aren't appropriate as they seem to not change colour very much when wet. As someone previously stated the ones that go brown when wet seem to be a better habitat.
The season is well and truely on its way though. I can feel it 
Seen a bit of fungi around the place, STACKS of coprinus around some places, and it's been getting mighty chilly in the mornings. Now all we need is some rain...

nOs,
I assume you where biking around the pine forests in Rotovagas? Amanita's grow in pine needles in large numbers, subs can grow on pine needles but it's pretty uncommon.
You are more likely to find them in wood chips/complex bush/under old pine trees with rich grass at the base. You don't need to go out in to the bush or out of Auckland to get them, one of my better spots is in a small box garden in a really built up area.
You will want to start searching in 2/3 weeks, I'm hoping there should be some growth by then, providing there is enough rain, a few sprinkles are supposed to come on Monday :/.

I spose it depends on what area your in, i've seen them in public parks but havn't really picked them from there much as i have my own good spot.
i can't wait either, now i've got something to look forward to in the colder months.
Also what i noticed particularly with last years season as i got quite into shrooms and picked quite a lot is over time if your picking grom the same spot not only does the potency go down but also the shrooms after pick start loosing there blue. First pick they were putting big stains in the paper bag that i put them in, towards the end they wern't, but i spose it was getting a bit hotter.

Ill PM some of you guys about when im coming over - id rather not post the dates if possible. Basically - most of the shrooms growing from areas that are landscape garden woodmulch and pine mulch in distrubed habitats will most likely be subaeruginosa. If you want IDs please let me know by pm and a small gill fragment/sporeprint is enough for that. The mushroom Sheepish found is definately not Ps.subaeruginosa - Id assume that from its characteristics it owuld have to be aucklandii - this may when i fruit it we will know for sure. I was hoping to get hold of some makarorae, semis and aucklandii or anything else unusual. I found that subs tend to vary in potency with flush - in australia the first flushes are always the most potent - later flushes are still shit hot, but not as potent in general. Ive also found that the wavycap and the eucalypta variant is often less potent than the umbonated subaeruginosa. People will disagree, but this is true in victoria/nsw anyway. I found subaeruginosa and cyanescens to be comparable, but both slightly more potent than the azurescens ive grown. The patch i was talking about with 3000+ was just a random find - we tried to isolate and reintroduced when it died out and it has picked up again, but time will tell...

You know that if you are in some parts of california the conditions aare similar to parts of Ausrali awhere subs grow... and there are a few eucalypts and pines over there... sounding like youre needing to look into making a sub bed.
