Well, I've decided I am going to go on my first mushroom hunting adventure tomorrow afternoon with a friend of mine.
It was raining a fair bit today here on the Gold Coast, Australia, and the weather forecast indicates a lovely sunny day tomorrow, so I believe I might have some luck with finding some mystical mushrooms.
There are a few cow paddocks I know of where I will hunt first, and then maybe take a walk through some rainforest areas. Keeping in mind it is early/mid spring here in Australia, I'm hoping I will find a few cubensis' in some cow sh*t. 
Anyone else got some quick tips? Wouldn't mind hearing from and meeting some fellow Aussies!

just remember to flick and pick!
also, make sure they are growing out of the shit, not out of the ground nearby. the golden rule is: If in doubt, leave it alone!
enjoy, and post back with an update!

I didnt get it until you said that but I believe thats wat he's saying... Doesnt work for too many other active species though.. Or maybe theres a few it doesnt work on.. i.e. pan subbs, ect?

no, sorry. but that is also a good tip - squeeze the stems to make sure they turn blue, and look for the purple veil.
Flick n Pick means before picking all of the caps, flick the tops to release the spores, so that there may be shrooms in that area for months and years to come!
The mushrooms will do just fine without you, but if someone goes and picks all the mushrooms whenever they grow, at a certain point there will be no more laying around in the area for the cows to digest, and then have in the manure. or at the very least, the field will not be as "fruitful" as it could be.
