earlier in the season that isnt too hard in the north-eastern, southern suburbs or at Macedon, but you wont get too many of those kinds of finds this time of year.
The season is all wrong weather wise.

Although so new to shrooming I haven't even picked my first lot yet, I'd like to call to everyone's attention the reality of climate change. The seasons are changing little by little, and I think you'll find the possibility of an extended season fairly realistic. We've been through a pretty cold, dry snap recently but I think the end of August start of September is going to be fairly productive.

Also, as to the ongoing debate of the wood staining, having had the benefit of growing up in the middle of a state forest (I was exposed to countless shroom seasons ... pity I didn't know what they were then!) I have come across wood staining quite regularly. The effect is known as sapstain, and it usually occurs after a tree has either been cut or fallen. A fungus called the sapstain fungus gets into the wood and stains it blue to dark black. It also damages the wood. You'll usually find this sort of staining in pine.

Sapstain

This is a pretty clear photo of sapstain with an accompanying article on what it is.

I've known of this type of thing for a while, but the specifics have only come to my attention since reading this. Learning is fun!


Cheers!
