A little hunt in the garden today.
Active Gyms still flourishing;

More Amanitas too, looked like a Christmas party around the Birches;

Honestly can't believe how many subs have popped up over the week. Maybe all those stem butts and rotting caps spread across the garden beds over previous years have finally paid off.

Best patch!

Will have a quick look in the forest tommorow.

Hi,
I’m new here.
Hoping to learn more.
But wondering if there are foraging groups or similar things that someone new like me can join to go hiking and looking with others ☺️

Some absolutely crazy bluing on some of these Nick! Wish I had land for a true patch of my own haha
EDIT: after sitting here puzzling about the why the ones underneath were the ones that were 'bruised', I've realised these are spores, not bluing 
Still crazy intense colour!

Its always nice seeing patches sporulate with vigor 
@ Betaboo, Welcome. Don't think you'll find anything like that here. But you should check out Bob's Hunters guide in his sig link. It should give you more than enough info to start making some solo find of your own in no time.

Some subs & other things from the forest today;

Inactives;

Plus a couple more finds from the garden;

Thought I might as well collect some of the leaves that gathered heavy spore deposits & spread them in mulch beds where they'd be better off;
~
Couldn't help but pick some of the better ones to dry later. The bruising on some of these was incredible;

Yesterday I went back to the place where I'd found a lot of pins the previous week, and there'd been a dry spell of four-five days in-between.
A lot of the pins were dried out, sadly, but in a couple of (moister?) areas they'd grown still, however the colouring on them as they've grown sort of threw me - pretty much the only photos I've seen of more mature subs the cap still has that caramel-ish colour, rather than this kind of caramel centre/pale outer. This is only my second season, and last year everything I found or picked had the smaller, bell-like cap shape before they'd had a chance to fully mature.
Anyway pics below: be interested to know if this is normal/what was going on here... With apologies if this is a real dumb query!

I'm not all that experienced either but my intuition tells me the inconsistent colouring is probably the result of the inconsistent weather we've been having... wet/dry/wet/sunny etc.
I had a really good hunt on Sunday and then had a sickie today so thought I'd check my original spot to see if anything had fruited there yet. Oddly still nothing in the easiest spot to get to (though maybe people have been picking?) but found a decent handful around at the other spot in the area. Though the fruits were a few metres adjacent to where I was finding them last year. Interesting how things shift and turn.
Might post some pics from those later in the week. Had enough of the computer today!

Thanks, yeah that's pretty much what I assumed had happened - guess will see if anyone else chimes in to confirm, but seems a fairly safe bet.
I also found a new patch about 25m from where my prev pics were taken. Seems smaller but "newer" in that there's a few just past the pin stage - spotted two next to a log then on closer look realised there were at least a dozen smaller ones coming through. Will pop back there maybe tomorrow for another look.
Good work on the hunt - be cool to see some of your pics, and yeah, totally understand wanting to get off the computer for a bit. I seem to live on it these days...

Can you pick a couple and post photos of the stipe and gills, i’d be interested to see how they look with a more complete set of angles. They look unusual, from above. Perhaps make an ID thread with them.
