I've been searching for 5 years now with the morel as my target species. I hag the found a single specimen. A friend did two years ago but only a scant few. I wish I had enough time to go search the burn areas.

Soooo, I'm sry to all for my long absence. I have been busy, too busy. It got to the stage where I couldn't even come here as I felt guilty for wasting time. Somehow last few weeks things seem to finally coming under control and I'm not falling asleep before my child. Hopefully I am back permanently Inspired by heyawonas' finds and jealous of bluemeanies beautiful hauls of edibles. I have moved closer to the bush so have been walking and looking a bit. With such a dry winter I have found few edibles. Only occasional shaggy and field/Forrest mushrooms. Today I decided I'd drive to some pines and expand my area of search after being further driven by my first hedgehog mushroom find. And I was well rewarded! Found my first W.A. Fly agarics. Appearing a few years ago now these seem to be spreading very rapidly through the southwest. I then spent the next two hour picking hedgehogs in massive swathes through the bush. It is a place I have found golden chanterelles before. But only a scant few. The hedgehogs were everywhere though. I got tired in the end so would have left many thousands behind. They are fiddly to pick without breaking and getting dirty. I stopped with 2kg. Along my travels I also found 2 of what I think are Porcini. B. edulis. There were what appeared to be several more rotted away. I will keep an eye on this area. Would be a nice find for W.A. If it is. These specimens were to old to be 100% sure. It's been really dry here lately. Hopefully this new rain brings on some more. Over all I am very happy with the last two days. 3 new species for me. Two gourmet and one of those in abundance. I fried the hedgehogs in some butter and they were awesome. Best shroom I've ever eaten!

I would not be able to send them interstate unfortunately. Maybe one day.

Fridge in zip lock going to dehydrate a bunch. Selling the rest. Eating a heap.

Yeah they were great! The best I've eaten so far. No fungal aftertaste tasted like cheesy bacon. I don't like many mushrooms, but these are a delicacy. And sooooo many. I reckon I could spend all day picking and not make a dent. Deff at the top of my list with so few others in abundance unless u like slippery jacks. Thanks for the id bee em

Agreed, I use them in my spring roll mix. Just made some tonight actually. I grow my own coriander so is not a problem for me. But it's a good trick if you just want the herby top. It will actually grow as well, adding to at you purchased.

When u buy coriander with roots on, put in jar of water and harvest as needed. It will stay alive and fresh a long time.

If it's not edulis. It is still a bolete I have not come across before. I was hoping the flesh was that color due to the age. When I cut it in half the flesh stained pinkish within seconds. It stood out as not being the same slimy cap that all the slipperies have. Wishful thinking I guess. I will still try and find a fresher specimen after this rain.

Thanks guys. Nice to see youse still here too.

I have recently had a reduction into our families income. But it's been good in a way. I am saving more now than ever. Strange. Most recently I also made my first venture into homebrew cider. 8 days from beginning to end. Use champagne yeast or s-04 strain. Add sugar for a sweeter or stronger cider. Very drinkable and works out about $1.50 per 1.25 liters. A simple airlock in the lid and that's all you need. Very very easy. If u don't like a batch u leave it to turn into apple cider vinegar for ahem science.

Remove and replace with a ph strain, narrow leaf or green. I know it's not as pretty as the red. But the red will be the giveaway feature. I can send u oh seeds and u can pick out none red ones. Most of the seeds are. I have all types planted everywhere and nobody has ever recognized. Not even the Reds. But I havnt seen any Africans either. The bogan meth heads are more common around here. Peace

Thanks for that zelly. I was more throwing it out there incase any1 had any spare or within oz. will import if I have to. But prefer less official methods.

Does any1 ever consider the independNt hardware/ nursery stores? Binning doesn't have the most ethical business system

Gogo juice is more a probiotic than a standalone fert. But I always use it with seaweed and powerfeed

Another year gone, all too fast. RIP psycho. Your legacy lives on and is worldwide now. Peace

Don't the police themselves habitually consort with criminals? Should they arrest themselves? What about lawyers? Does this include work colleges? This is obvious wide net catch all approach to arrest everyone. Well, unless u are rich..........

Here's an Icaro seed grown. Seed from Rev. 2006 seed. http://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/index.php?app=galleryℑ=10037

http://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/index.php?app=galleryℑ=10032 I'll add this and 1000 plant helper f2 khat seed

My ph is in flower too ATM. Sets seed easily, where as my narrow does not. Fruits should be open dec/jan from memory. The narrow and red is also flowering too atm. I have to dig them up and move them though. I am leaving the large ph behind as it is wayyyyyy too big to dig up. I have other ph plants so I'll leave the mum behind in hope it goes on to live a long life.
