Nice one Peachy007!

I was going to start one a few days ago but my internet connection was soo slow i gave up. Here's a few from my first foray into cubes and cyans, from just north of your loc.




I made some decent spore prints from these.

yeah rad! i hope ive started this off properly :laugh:

SO TODAY WAS MY SECOND EVER HUNT / ADVENTURE!!

Went out today just to put eyes on where i discovered recently. we've had a little more rain and it was slightly hotter.

results were much nicer though with some really nice sized gold caps about.

Pretty sure I'm nailing the cyans too but there was one I'm not really sure about, ill circle it in red.

Im spore printing them atm as you can see and will start the dehydrator up soon. how long can i leave them spore print for before putting in the dehydrator?!?!

AM NOT EATING ANYTHING UNTIL CONFIRMED!!
thanks for all the help and look forward to learning more as this adventure continues!!









Also saw a lot of these but wasnt sure so i left them to be. Small about 1.4cm across.

Thanks for the new thread Peachy!

I find that 24 hours in the food hydrater is perfect. Mine has 3 settings and I go with the middle setting. After that I put the batch through the coffee grinder and glass jar it (sealed very tight) with date and weight on jar. I store in a cool dark location.

I find it is a good idea to have them jarred in the weight that you want to dose in one session. So if there is 2 of you and you want to have 2g each you jar 4g. That way you are not constantly opening a bulk jar and are able to preserve potency for longer. If you are microdosing have a jar specifically for MDing.

Enjoy your hunting!

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice! Is it best to go hunting in complete bush (no tracks, further from the roads etc.), or is sticking to well-known tracks/fire trails a viable option? I have been sticking to relatively popular bush walks with no luck so I was wondering if I'd have more luck somewhere off the beaten path. Thanks!

From what I have heard, and I'm a complete noon myself, cow pastures hold the best hope for Psilocybe Cubensis. One of the more recognisable shrooms.

You are looking for cow dung for the most common summer varieties. Unfortunately it’s tricky because unless you own a property with cattle or know someone who does it’s hard to hunt without trespassing.
The best way in my opinion is if you know what your looking for a pair of binoculars are great because P Cubensis (Gold Tops) can be seen from roadways. If you can see them in the paddocks go visit the farmer and ask if he or she minds you looking around for field mushrooms. Farmers in the north of NSW are pretty clued on and will know exactly what you are after. You’ll either get a yes or no answer but it’s better than trespassing. They may sell free range eggs so it might also be worth offering to buy a few dozen to kick off the conversation.

I’m not getting exceptional finds at the moment, odds and ends. But mainly just going out learning where they are and when they arrive.

Does anyone have information about their growth rates and life cycles though? I’m interested to know how long they take to ‘bloom’? And if they last a day or more naturally.

Psilocybe Cubensis Does Not Require Sunshine To Fruit. Good Rainfall, Correct Temperatures, & High Humidity Is What Is Required.

If You Waited 2 Weeks After A Good Rain For The First Sunny Day, You Missed Out. Check The First 5 Days After A Good Rain (1+Inches), Sun Or No Sun. Check Patches Of Tall Grass, Check Shaded Spots Under & Around Trees, Check Hay/Straw Piles, & Always Check Back Over Places You've Already Checked, Even Seasoned Hunters Can Pass Up Big Flushes & Never See Them :thumbup:

Hey beautiful people,

First time hunter here. Starting to scout for areas to look at. I live right behind a cow paddock west of Newcastle area. It seems like I might be starting a little late, considering the rain we have had in this area over the past couple of months.

The paddock behind me backs onto a small wetland/swamp reserve, which someone’s cows graze in. We have pretty unrestricted access to this field. Any tips for a first time scouter in this area? I’ve got a good collage of confirmed photos to use as reference, plus a couple of screenshots of tips I’ve collated. From what I’ve read it seems like my most likely target will be pan cyans or P. subs.

Cheers guys and best of luck to everyone!!

Welcome to the shroomery HeathXor. You might be in luck still if we have any humid days left but otherwise you will have to wait another 9 months until next summer. Subs might not be out for a month or two in our area. Wood chips and bracken ferns are where to hunt. I’ve yet to find any but I feel mt sugarloaf might be fruitful. Just need to right conditions.

Good luck out there mate.

Will definitely be doing an ID check on any specimens I might encounter. I'm very green to the hunt so I would want confirmation before taking any actions.

Are there any species that would be actively growing with the current climate, or am I best to wait until the cooler months for P Subs?

I went looking last weekend. Didn’t find anything of interest, but it was my first time actively looking for fungi, and I was pretty interested with what we found anyway! Paying attention to the floor of the bush and wow, very fascinating to be looking so low to the ground.

I’m checking out that cow paddock this weekend after we have had some rain this week. I’ll be lucky if I find anything, but it’ll be good to get some experience in searching anyway.

Hi there,

This is my second season. I’ve found some in small numbers.
Unfortunately i didn’t dry them out properly and they ended up mouldy.

Is there any way to use what’s left for a spore syringe so I can spread a few syringes around the place?
I’m not going to eat these as I’ve heard mould shrooms aren’t any good. Keen to hear and funny stories from those that have run that gauntlet :smile:

Any guidance on this would be great as I’d love to spray a few spore around the place?

also, is it too late to be putting a few patches of woodchips around to start some outdoor patches/keep the current ones healthy?

hey guys. noob here. hunting for a subs. my second time picking went really well. i got like 10 cracker dry grams which is good for this early in the season. i was thinking of going back this coming weekend however forecast shows there's not going to be any rain and it's going to be really hot this week, nearly 10°C hotter than the weather leading up to this weekend just past. is it pointless?

I'll also not have access to a dehydrater for several days if I go. I picked up a few mushies to photograph and they seemed to dry on my desk really fast, can I air dry any I find?

Shit dude that sucks :frown:

How would you go about making spore syringes from mouldy dry shrooms? Sounds like nothing can be done here unless I'm misunderstanding.

It is probs too late this year if you inoculate woodchips now, although I'm not 100% sure.

I feel ya though it's hard to dry them properly if you live w others.

I bought a dehydrator at the end of last season so that made things way easier for the last couple of runs. Otherwise, I normally stick them in a flour sifter, put them near a fan heater in winter (not too close, you don't wanna bake em lol), and toss them every hour or so. That does a really good job. Put them out for 5 hours and then leave them overnight. All the moisture inside the shrooms will draw to the surface, then give them another 4-5 hrs and you should be good to go when they're cracker dry!

First time hunting, YAY...

I have been looking in northern Koszci for a little under a month for some subs as its been really cold but no rain. Came accross these for the first time which I cant confirm are subs. There were some growing in horse dung which I have not heard before for these species so oponions would be much welcome.

There are tonnes of Laughing Gyms though but I cant imagine eating them as they are bitter as all hell and I am not sure if they are even active. Any experiences?

A mate of mine tried a fair bit down in VIC, absolutely nothing. Haven't heard much about active gyms in Aus, only that they could potentially exist. Heard about plenty of active gyms from America though.

Today (27.4.21) found about 60 subs in the mountains west of Canberra.
They were found along a firetrail in amongst bracken and grasses, particularly in shady damp areas. Hardly any rain since the last big drenching (that caused all the flooding), but there still seems to be plenty of moisture at ground level from morning dew and the temps have been down to zero or so overnight, so was fairly optimistic of finding something. If there's more rain in May they should pop out everywhere.
Happy hunting!

Evening all,

Went for a look today in a forest, found a handful of subs, over half of which were rotten. Guess this means I was a few days too late? There’s been plenty of rain around this week, forest floor was soaked.

Found some growing in grass around rotting logs and some growing directly out of a rotting log, was interesting to see. Going to try again when it’s a bit colder.

I freaking love mushrooms! I started picking subs last season down in Tasmania and moved up to Northern NSW late last year.  I missed the cubes over summer, but happened accross a small patch of subs this afternoon in my garden... When I searched further on the property - I found a massive patch and gathered 90g wet :smile:. This bodes well!

Very happy, I had no idea whether they would grow up here or not (I'm at altitude, but it's waaaay warmer than Tassie!) And I was also down to my last 0.2g microdosing stash from last year. I swear these little guys just know when to pop up their heads.  It was pure chance that I found them, and I can't even go further afield at the moment to hunt them as I have injured my leg.  So it was magic to find them on my literal doorstep with such good timing!

Hey guys, having a decent season going west of the blue mountains pretty frequently. My partner is under the impression that the season is over as soon frost will nuke any mushrooms in that area and we don't have any closer spots. When you guys consider the NSW season over?

Also I'm also heading to Canberra this weekend. I have eyeballed some spots on google maps for a hunt I'd like to do in Canberra. Would anyone mind if I pm them and they can give me a broad yes/no as to whether the spots would be worth my time? Currently I note that there hasn't been any rain in the last 5 days and none expected until the weekend is there any point in still hunting?

Subs or golden tops as they are called down Canberra grow up to the snow line in the mountain ranges around Canberra. I'd be checking lowlands down there now though.

Having a good season for subs where I live. They are starting to colonise the state forest now that was logged a couple of years ago.

More exotic species will probably show up next season when the ground cover has had a better chance to grow. Creating pockets of moisture and shade for P.papuana and sect.Zapotecorum hopefully.

Have not found many in Sydney itself, the majority ive picked for the first 5 years hunting for them were in the blue mountains. There is one banger spot in Sydney itself, and about 5 ive sneaked in.

Go to suburbs like Katoomba, Springwood and Wentworth Falls and have a look around there, Oberon is great, but its another hour past these places. That is where you will have your best luck about now.

Subs are at their peak right now in the Sydney area. Check creeks on clayey soil. Not sandy creeks. Look around areas where debris has been washed into little mounds.

Look in wandering Jew along creeks. It catches sticks washed down when creeks are flooding. Which happens often in Sydney with all the built up areas. Water coming down off roads into the creeks.

You can also look around bracken and tree ferns in damp areas. They should be easy to find now as the sun has lost its intensity so they'll pop up in plain sight without having to look too hard in dark places when they first start fruiting end of April in Sydney.

Sydney subs rock.

Absolute Sub City in the Riverina area at the moment!!

Was literally falling over all the subs along a fire trail where P.sub was by far the dominant species. Every 10 meters there  were big patches including a 25g behemoth, easiestly the biggest sub I have ever seen... There were soo many more but couldnt carry any more hehe. Collected 690g in about 3 hours.

Only took the older ones which were on their way out. Still tonnes of pins popping up. Will collect spores of the largest and bluest ones which I might cultivate at my place. Gonna take some effort to dry these lol....

Some of those subs are in pretty bad shape sidz. If you are planning to consume them and want to avoid any aditional nausea, I'd recommend avoiding the ones with the black/rotting gills. Probably no shortage of larvae in those ones too.

That large stemmed one is a beauty of a specimen. Pretty rare to see stems that fat, nice find!

Hi nice people!

In the guide here, it lists these species for NSW:

New South Wales
Gymnopilus sp.
Panaeolus cinctulus
Psilocybe cubensis
Panaeolus cyanescens
Psilocybe subaeruginosa
Psilocybe alutacea
Psilocybe papuana
Psilocybe tasmaniana ( https://mushroomobserver.org/269230 )


Just wondering, in Sydney's leafy North Shore which ones of those would you expect to find??

I don't know the others but cubensis grows on cow dung and I don't see many cows on a daily basis.

I know there's subs because I found some, but are the others actually common? What's the other most common one so I can research where to find them?

Thanks everyone.

Glad to hear it's not just me! After a little flush at the start of the season I was feeling confident. But since then it's been so sad...
I can only think we didn't get the rain, but parts of Victoria did based on the RIDICULOUS patch photos I've been seeing.

BOM May Summary:
May rainfall was well below average for Australia as a whole

Rainfall for the month was below average for most of northern Australia, the west of New South Wales and Victoria, Tasmania, southern South Australia, and the east of Western Australia

Rainfall for the month was above average for the west of Western Australia, eastern Victoria and south-eastern New South Wales

Mean maximum temperatures for May were warmer than average for most of Australia, but close to average for much of New South Wales, southern Queensland and South Australia

Mean minimum temperatures for May were warmer than average for most of Western Australia, but cooler than average for the Kimberley and large parts of the Northern Territory, and scattered areas of the eastern mainland, mostly in inland New South Wales

Bit late to reply. Crescent head P.cubensis would be more likely. It's a funny place in that the temperature is warm there for that part of NSW.

In the future in sub season if you are up there again go for a drive west of the Pacific highway. Seeking more elevated areas for cooler temperatures.

West of Coffs Harbour they are still fruiting up in the hills. Wet winter with milder night temps (less frost) can extend their season right through until August. They were early this year fruiting from the end of March onwards.

I had some luck early in the season. No rain for a whole month and the start of the season real did the season in.

Anyone having any luck in Sydney? I checked out the royal national Park for the first time. There were mushrooms but very few and not many that I'm used to seeing around subs.

Hey guys, I'm new here, and I've just got a few questions if you don't mind.

I'm from the New England region (Tamworth/Armidale/Glen Innes), and have been out a few times looking for subs, and found plenty of mushrooms, but no subs :laugh:. There's a pine plantation near my town which is a known spot for them, so I'm pretty sure I'm in the right general area.

I've had a look through the Subaeruginosa guide, which has been pretty damn helpful, but I've got a few more specific questions that aren't covered in the guide.

1. How long after the rain do they pop up? I've read/been told anywhere from 1-5 days. If it rains overnight, will they be up by the morning, or should I give it a bit more time?

2. In some spots the plantation is super thick with other plants (weeds, I presume). It's always considerably more damp in these spots, and there's heaps more fungus in general. Are spots like this going to be my best bet? You can see in the background of this first picture just how thick the bush is. In the second is a more open spot that looks a it more like what I've seen in a few YouTube videos.




3. The season is April-September, and they like night-time(?) temperatures of 5-15 degrees. It starts getting below 0 where I live in May, does this mean I have to wait until it starts to warm up again? Or do I just need some more mild night-time temperatures (Every now and then, especially if it's going to rain overnight, it'll be 4 degrees, for example, instead of -4).

I've attached a few examples of what I've been finding. These "little brown mushrooms" are all over the place after a good rain. I'm pretty sure they're Galerinas, apparently the most common "lookalike" to subs and quite poisonous? They seem to stay quite small, maybe ~7cm tall at the most, and the stalk is wholly orange when they're new, and change to orange at the base and white towards the cap when they're a bit older.

Pretty sure your lookalikes are Pholiota communis.

Best advice i could give you having never been to your area is to follow the moisture. As in creeks. Also look for brakken fern. Good luckk.

In my uneducated opinion, I'd say you're right. These have no veil, where Galerinas do?

Yeah, that's looking like the go. I'm finding more fungus in general when the environment is more moist in general.

They could definitely be found in something like the first pic. The grasses are good in the second pic, but it doesnt look right, a bit exposed.

Well pictures with the stems would help immensely. If you find more try to take a few in-situ shots.

Yeah I second that. Go have another look where you found them. Take photos before you pick them. Then as soon as you pick. Then 15 min later. Should bruise up by then.
Good luck mate.

IMO they look like pans. Not a TI though but almost exactly like the one I found.

Panaeolus papilionaceus is usually the one that they get confused with. Considering they grow in the same.. shit, might be wise to familiarize yourself with both. Internet/image/search is a good start.

Hi all

First pick ever and in mid-north coast of NSW. Had a bit of rain fall and humidity so found some popping up around the place. Picked these - are they anything of interest?










The picture of these smaller guys are something different - any info on what they are as well :smile:



Thanks!

If you want an accurate ID from a TI, i would suggest making an ID request for both groups.

TI = trusted identifier.

Having said that the first ones look like cubes to me not sure about the others.

It seems Cubensis season is slowly underway then hmm? I have only searched for subs in the past though I've got an urge to go hunting. Thinking of taking a drive up Hunter Valley way sometime next week and scoping out some areas to look once the season starts picking up.

cubensis and cyans are plentiful in northern NSW

went to field and picked a couple right near the fence, didnt bother going the whole field because i got enough but gonna go back in a bit and do a full pick

went to field and got about 30 cubensis in a quick pick but a young bull started to charge me so had to jump the fence and go home..
lucky it wasnt a big bull charging full speed, it just slowly charged towards me

unfortunately didnt find the cyans that i thought were in the field i thought i saw. could only find cubensis and was about a day late at picking most of them. only a few were just opened and not wide open old caps

Re: northern Nsw [Re: elys1um]
    #27559959 -

yea theyre cubensis.
cubensis are easy to ID by being a yellow/orange top and white with blueing when u squeeze the stem.

the only other youll find in your area are panaeolous cyancens which have gold/oraneg top sometimes but not as much as cubensis... usually when i find them they wont have orange/gold but will be white. also with blueing when squeezing stem

also try not to pick ones which are in the pinhead stage... wait till atleast the stem has broken off the gill. come back the next day for the ones that are still joined at the stem ring/gills

First time there were mushrooms in the field - woo.
I picked a few types as I was super excited.
Bit new to this, could #1’s be cubensis?
#2’s something good?
I’m thinking I should have left #3’s there at a wild guess.

Should I post in other section to ask for TI ID?
Hunter region. Toward the coast.

#1 looks like pans.
The others aren’t active.
#2 looks like paneleous foenisecii maybe. Not active
# 3 aren’t active shrooms.


For all the newbies. Take spore prints too the spore colour helps to identify as well. And photos where they grew before you pick them.

Hey guys, Bit of a novice hunter and asking for some advice. I'm trying to learn the difference between the dung growing panaeolus varieties. I can usually identify panaeolus cyanescens with 99% certainty. But I noticed these guys fruiting the other day and am wondering if they are sneaky panaeolus cinctulus.

This photo in the grass was taken the day before I actually went and picked these other guys, I'd already filled my container with cyanescens and came across these guys in the grass. Assumed they were not active but upon further research I think there is a chance! anyway what do you experts say?


There are some baby dried cyanescens & some cubes It's the 3rd lot that really interests me.

Nice photos Nosebleed.
I have found those as well. I’m not sure if they are cinctulus either. I didn’t keep mine. But wait for a trusted identifier to tell you before chucking them.
If they are they you already have prints of them too.
