I'd been out looking about 4 or 5 times in the last few weeks (mostly northern burbs) with no luck until today!
Finally spotted some (quite mature) Subs in a very public spot near the CBD. 90g total after dusting off, left lots of pins which i'm sure will appreciate the rain coming later this week. Such a fantastic feeling to find them after looking for so many hours, rode home very happy.
It's my second season looking and this forum has been a huge help, it's great to see everyone's shared excitement and big finds!
Cheers to a good season and my first time posting

Still no dice for me unfortunately. Been finding a lot of mica caps but no subs. Been out about 3 times in the last week locally.

One thing you can always try is pick heaps of inactives as an insurance policy. As in they're all jumbled up together so if it ever did happen and you say something like .. "im just picking mushrooms cos its fun/interesting" it might appear more legit when they look in your bag/tub whatever you use.
If they not buying that then kindly ask them to point out all the "magic ones" so you know which to avoid next time lol
Last season in the SA thread a member was busted and made to tip his haul out on the ground and squish em all iirc
Best to avoid police interactions to begin with.

Knowing a mate whose in the academy for VIC police, I can testify they know no more than the everyday passerby re: magic mushrooms, and it's not high on their priority list at all at this stage. That's just to say some may not no a thing, some may and caution you, and some may know enough and be real pricks - every officer is different.
But, police do have the right to search you if they believe you have illegal drugs / or you;re picking an magic mushrooms. So nothing but you holding a paper bag full of full bodied blue bruising mushrooms isn't recommended near the CBD or local parks.
It depend on where you go picking but the risk is very low imo; only encountered one state park ranger in 7 seasons, but as mentioned best avoided.
A camera, a book with local fauna and flora, or a hand writing notebook with notes anything botany related you can link to university studies are all good ways to avoid suspicion if you're especially paranoid/ unlucky enough run into police. Obviously walking a dog is not only enjoyable but super beneficial.
But for most PO's, mushrooms are the least of their concern, and at least in the academy they're not taught how to identify magic mushrooms by eye.

Heading back into the Northern Suburbs again this afternoon, after my first hunt yesterday. Plenty of fungi around, but didn't see any subs. I only searched a small area (relatively), so I'm hoping I'll have more luck today.
Even if I'm not funding subs, I'm still really enjoying seeing all the crazy mushrooms that grow beneath our feet. Before I started hunting for subs, I had no idea it was so prevalent.

What kind of tips would you like?
I did a bit type up of all the tips that came to mind at the top of page 5 of this thread. Feel free to check it out.

That's an awesome guide Painkiller thank you, that all helps quite a bit. I guess I've been so focused on finding them that I really paid no thought into what to do once I'd found them! So much to learn! I guess I was wondering if I should use them to grow more, but maybe that's next level stuff that I can learn later.

Only you know if you should use them to grow more...... Personally I don't have the focus nor desire to learn how to grow them... I am more than happy to help people find them though....

Congrats on your first find. Painkiller has pretty much covered most of what you need to know. If you can, it never hurts to take spore prints. You can store them away until you think of something to do with them. ~ And of course some more sub photos.. It appears that they’ve spread to some planter boxes that were set up about 2 years ago;
 More from the garden;
 This is my personal favourite from today;
  The road side patch is beginning to fruit again;

Found a couple of nice big patches in the northern suburbs of Melb today, picked a few hundred grams but left a ton of small ones in the ground. Here's a few growing amongst the pigface.

I'm still definitely new to all this so I've got a question: How quickly will stems and caps bruise blue when picked? Should they be showing blueish signs already as-picked?
edit: Good example here! t=743

They may already have blue on them when you find them. In less than a minute after being picked, they'll likely show blue which will likely turn to a darker blue over the next few hours.
If you have subs in a paper bag for long enough, the paper bag itself may develop small blue stains especially at the bottom of the bag.

I only had about an hour to pick these and get home, I reckon I could have picked 10x this amount if I had the time, hopefully they are still around next weekend so I can get even more.
