Howdy All, just thought I'd throw up some Auckland sub pictures as there is a lack of them at the moment, the season is definitely under way.
Found these before going to my sacred bush spot:


Compulsory Amanita shot (note the substrate):

And some beautiful mushrooms from the bush:





Good luck everyone

I'm always wondering why the subs up auckland are such a bright, golden coloured compared to the darker caps I find around my area. Wonder how those amanitas managed to fruit so well on bare dirt.

MagicalKnife,
Looks to me the Amanitas are fruiting in pine deposits. Granted a rocky and dusty environment.

I'm convinced substrate/conditions is the determining factor in colour variation. Also I was using a flash so the colouring may not be quite so bright. Subs vary a hell of a lot anyway, I found some absolute mutants last year.

Thats a common characteristic of Muscaria and some other Amanitas......they have that ability to fruit far away from the trunk of the tree and commonly line open areas along (and in) dirt pathways......the reason I mentioned the tree trunk cause they're not growing as much from the debris of the pine as they are growing on the root of the tree (mycorhizal)......we have one that commonly grows in the dirt path which is great as your peddlin/ hikin along as its one of greatest of ALL edibles in the world and you find em by trippin over em.......sometimes over 13 meters(40 ft.) from the tree!.....all Amanitas seem to have their characteristic distances from the tree (mycorhizal associate)

Hey I didnt know you could find gold tops in native bush, I always asssumed you had to look in the great big pine forests! Got any tips of what kind of native bush they like? I too am also from auckland (west).
