Nice find there trippinalice!

In answer to your questions,
1) I've only found subs growing where there are rich grassy areas around pine trees. I've never found them growing from pine needles alone, but I've definitely found them growing amongst pine needles in grass.

2) I've found two types of shroom growing in golf courses: Ps. Semilanceata and Ps. Subaeruginosa. Found some of the former in a golf course yesterday in fact. Look around the more open grassy areas for the semis and near pine trees for the subs. Watch out for golfers though! Go on a rainy day  :grin:

I also find Subs in rich grass under old pine trees in the grass and in a golf course also. When did you start finding them haunted? They havn't sprung up yet in Auckland.

I have found Copelandia Cyan. growing in small numbers with Psilocybe Subaeruginosa in the bush which is rich in nutrients and heavily shaded.

- I've been finding them since late april. I'd imagine they'd probably be poking through up there

We recently had good rains and I went back out the other day and picked another 300+ subs, plus a few more liberties. Didn't get any pics though, unfortunately. The liberties aren't really coming through from my favourite spots at the moment. Is anyone else finding that the liberties are rather scarce right now?

-What was the habitat [for the subs]?
They are all from rough sandy ground (at the back of sand dunes) around pine trees, where there is a bit of grass coming through. Rip up the sticks and grass and they are there. :grin:

Yeah - liberties do seem to be a bit scarce at the moment. I've been out a couple of times in the last week after that rain. I have about 4 patches which I'm rotating and all of them had sweet FA. I think it might be just a little too warm at the moment?? Still, can't complain. Gong on some of the posts.....we seem quite lucky here to be able to just shoot out when we have 20 mins to spare and be almost guarenteed a meal!!! This week is the first time in about 15 visits that I have found none.

Oh yeah Haunted, my mistake, they have started popping up in Auckland my best spot is going nicely. I just havn't found them out in the open under pine trees like I usually do, it might still be a little to dry.

Went and saved some subs from the rain today, picked four of the bigger ones (Not too many, but they weigh 15g all up good enough) and built shelters for the rest. Heres a pic.

Nice finds you guys! Those are some wicked pics Destruktikon. Gnarly looking shrooms :grin: Get any pics of them once picked?

Oh, I had a little look around a pine forest the other day and found some subs growing directly from the pine needles. There was some decaying wood in the soil though, and very moist. I say this just to append one of my earlier posts. Didn't get any pics though.

I decided to steal some mycelium from my favourite spot and try to sprout some subs at home. 5 have sprouted so far :grin: I'll take some pics when they get a bit bigger.

Also, some pics of Psilocybe Makarorae aren't too far away. Just got to go out and take them...

I have more pics, but I can't get my digicam card reader to work. Getting WinXP in a few days so it should be all good then. Going hunting tommorow morning, bloody wet here today. Its funny cause other people get pissed off with the rain, but its all good for me, I can go get shrooms :thumbup:

Well, I'm a bloody happy chappy.

Today I went for a search in the rain and cold, it being my only day off bar weekends. I was looking around for 3 hours in perfect Sub environment, but found nothing. Feeling wet and miserable and also losing the will to ever search for mushrooms again I headed home, on the way back I noticed some very magic looking mushrooms growing in a small box garden. I went back to investigate and found these:



There is a god!

I don't need to tell you how lucky you are DestruKtiKon do I? I thought my mushrooms were big, nice stuff.

Overall I found about twice as much as whats on the plate. Found a new spot today when our car broke down on the way home from a well known spot which we only found 10 or so at.

As the roadside mechanic was checking out the car I went for a stroll and I noticed a lot of woodchips in the bushes on the side of the road, as soon as I went into the bush there was a 5 square meter patch of solid mushrooms, I went in deeper and eventually found a couple of hundred subs in one patch.

    #2671584 -

yeah the makarorae pics are coming... :smile: I haven't actually taken any yet, but I'll go get some when I can

Of the last ones I picked, about half looked kinda like subs, but the others... well you'll see :grin:

I still want to see anyone else's photos of rare New Zealand types. Also is anyone finding any Copelandia Cyanescens yet? Get some pics up!!!!

Newbie tale - related to topic by location, rather than subect:-
I'vemet up with a bunch of aging ex-hippies in San Fran recently and they've encourage me to try some mushrooms for their visionary powers. I'm living close to one of the forests in NW Auckland that is known for its mushrooms, and decided to have a quick search online and found this forum. Inspired by Resolutes report of find in Auckland, I got into the nearby forest to have a look myself - armed with fading memories of the pictures in Paul Stammers identification book. Getting into the forest wasn't easy - heaps of gorse, blackberry, pampas grass etc I went under/over/around, and by the time I got into the forest proper I was soaked (lots of rain) and full of prickles. However, I followed the call of the mushroom gods and I started looking for something resembling the photo of the psilocybe aucklandii that I was looking for. So, with back bent and head close to ground, I came across a bewildering set of fungi that I had never really taken notice of before - tiny red mushrooms, huge red and white spotted ones, puffy balls of fungus. I found lots of  mushrooms  that physically resembled the aucklandii from the top side, but had no colouring reaction and porous looking fibrils. So, after walking around for an hour and getting a bit lost, I decided that it might be a good idea if I actually knew what I was looking for, where I should look - just any old bed of pine needles, or around the trunks, growing on dead wood? and also when I should look - after frost, after rainfall, afternoon, after a smoke etc. So, I would appreciate some useful advice :smile: 
Cheers

sounds like you found some fly agaric shrooms ( red, white spotted ones)

you should keep an eye out for decaying wood, and wood chips in general, and sometimes pine needles (less common?), shaded, and indirect "sunned" areas.
Just go hunting, people are finding alot at the moment, even though the season hasn't completely reached its peak :laugh:

and do some more research

good luck
peace

Thanks Merkaba. Happy to go hunting but just keen to know that I'm not out of season for the location. Any pics around of the aucklandii showing the fibrils? Also happy to do some research - any recommendations for resources on the local mushrooms here in Auckland?

Thanks
