I found this in the Eastern Suburbs.

Any idea what it could be?? I'm thinking Galerina spp?? stem: annulus, Cap: *light coloured cap. Substrate and habitat: growing on grass near a body of water
\/\/\/
jokes. It's from Friends I had too much fun here!

Anyone else having a really bleak season?
I'm in West Gippsland, and it has been a really depressing season thus. I'm honestly quite tempted to give up, as ita costing me too much in fuel, and hours upon hours of my time. I've been searching pines, bush, national parks, roundabouts, playgrounds, carparks, gardens, etc. Mostly around the morwell/traralgon area.
What I'm seeing is a lot of destruction, Amanitas kicked everywhere, lots of rubbish, even in pretty inaccessible, off the grid areas.
Am I alone in this, does anyone have any location tips? Am I just having a really bad run?

Some more urban hunting, a nice little patch but on closer inspection it looks like it has been spayed with some kind of weed killer. Safe to say I’m leaving these ones alone, I only picked two specimens just to show the underside and stem.
I’m new to this so correct me if I’m wrong, the blueing looks way too artificial to my eyes, and nothing like the blue from natural oxidation.



One more thing to keep a lookout when urban hunting, maybe this is telling to go out bush?!

This was from a few days ago, didn’t get around to walk this spot again and see how the grew out.
Had just rained in the morning so the p.subs were looking so fresh.

Hi, The bluing looks a little artificial, but it's hard to tell via pictures. If in doubt, throw it out.
From what I've read, mushrooms that are currently sprayed in the vicinity of 50m should be left alone. So whether they were sprayed directly or not, it may not matter.

Hey, Yeah it's been very dry in Melbourne at least, for the time of year. Likely rain will increase in June. Keep an eye on spots that you notice one here or there in the relative dry. You can go back after significant rain and probably find more. (This goes more for large patches like urban finds in garden beds, as the smaller single subs you find in the bushland may not flush as well, at least in my experience)
I have found far more this year than last, but that's in part as I've been going to known patches that it took last year to find. Keep looking!

For the record, so others can use my experience to help gauge if patches might be ready.
I looked in my usual spots today, found a few older/waterlogged subs. They are out but I suspect more rain is needed to start the flushes back up.
On another note, my housemates friend came over a couple of nights ago, proceeded to eat some of my foraged subs. He says he had a good time haha. Sharing is caring.

Two subs in love - the caps were fused together!
Been a bit of a dry season so far, inner city. I do the rounds at a dozen or so suburban spots and find a few subs every couple of weeks. Hoping it gets a bit damper and they pop-off a bit more. Went up around Daylesford but it's been dry there too, only got a couple (although the country subs are sooo beautiful and tall ).
Ellamush and Nick, love your work, very impressive pics.
Responding to the last post - I did my Honours research on heavy metals in Saffron Milk Caps around the ol Ballarat Goldfields. I would highly recommend NOT picking in the pine plantations immediately south of Ballarat (Yarrowee Plantation), nasty bit of arsenic accumulating in the mush there.

Purdy subs, 4n20
There's bloody lookalikes (i think cortinarius sp), growing in my usual spot! Went for a look at sunset and they nearly fooled me!!
Had a fellow come and talk to me while I was foraging, told him about the sport and that I was picking psychedelics hehe. I love it when people ask.
