Everything is gone besides the Ortegocactus. If people are interested in certain plants or cactus not listed you can pm me to inquire if available. Will be posting more in the coming weeks. Thanks to all who replied.

Planning on a walkabout and thought I should let Melbourne people know I am thinning the collection out to a skeleton. I have a lot of cactus and rare plants. Most are too large to post. I have Khat out the earholes, ready for in ground planting. Acacia's taller than a man. If interested then please contact me to arrange a time to come view. Besides letting people know that the majority of the collecion is being sold I'm posting here with a few bits and pieces for the community. I'll be adding more as the weeks go on.

An excerpt taken from the Chlorophyllum paper by Else C. Vellinga. Here's a link to the pdf>>http://nature.berkeley.edu/brunslab/ev/CHLOROPHYLLUM.pdf M. rachodes is now in the Genus Chlorophyllum, if anyone cares. I've only come across C. brunneum and M. clelandii in Australia. Have eaten them both as well.

I'm having difficulty understanding the exact problem but I think you may need to stake those freshly planted cactus to anchor them until the roots are able to do this job. I'm assuming it's the cold season where you are. If this is the case then roots don't grow much during this time. I can't answer why those 2 or 3 have died.

I can help you with a plant. Send me a pm to sort out details.

Agree with tripsis.

I'll come down for a stroll and some Sunday cheer as well. High Noon again?

It could be but with the one picture provided I can't be sure. Is it possible to take a habitat picture or some more pictures of specimens in different stages of development?

Cool. Another one to add to the collection. Thanks for the heads up obtuse.

For sure, it was a good day. Was nice meeting you alternate, Well done crew!

Just checking in to make sure I got the right day this time. Weather looks ok too.

16th is good. May as well book the day off Amz.

You read a bit further into my comment than I even did. Yeah people have a responsibility for the substances they ingest but these retailers are selling this stuff under the premise it's legal, and therefore safe. This is certainly not the case as is evident from the bad reactions these products have caused. If people are selling toxic products then something should be done to stop or educate them. If laws need to be put in place so be it. Again, they have a duty of care and they're failing badly. Legalising cannabis would help a lot when it comes to curbing synthetic cannabinoids. I understand people would still use them (drug tests at work as an example)but there'd be no real market for them. The bong shops would have to sell the real thing or nothing. Pot is not illegal for the reasons you think. Australia jumped on a bandwagon to brown nose.

I'm glad the police are trying to keep this crap off the shelves. Most of these retailers(not all!) aren't bothered with the side effects these create, as is said by the retailer in this article. These people have a duty of care. If their product is not safe they should not sell it. If laws need to be implemented and policed then so be it. If you don't want to be policed, stop selling harmful shit drugs. Just another reason why cannabis should be legalised. We don't need synthetic cannabis.

In that case. How does the dates feb 15th or 16th work for everyone? It's a weekend.

So when's the next meet melbourne peeps? Got to make the best of it while the sun shines. Should be some nice autumn colour in the afternoons where we meet. Dates don't bother me much. Hope you're all well.

I got my dates mixed up. doh!

I'm an old vandal, what they now call street artists. I've had a few handles but this current one is just spraycan punk spelling for corrode: to destroy slowly by chemical action. kind of summed up my lifestyle at the time. the 13 is from outlaw bike culture and signifies I smoke pot.

sounds good. would be nice to catch up before the new year.

It was another good meet. I'm still basking in the afterglow of it all. I did propose the 10th of December, which happens to be a Tuesday, so how about Saturday the 14th of December? Just throwing a date out there for people to work with. I'm easy.

Judging by your location, USDA 10, they are likely Gymnopilus luteofolius. These do appear in potted plants on occasion. They like the bark component.

24th is fine. Shall we lock that date in?

17th would probably give people some time to organise themselves. I'll be keen for that date. Hopefully that fits into sharxx's schedule? I saw a few sabbers last weekend and was asked about the next meet. If you were one of those people then post here with input. You too all the other melbourne lurkers. Speak up!

Lucky you. Thanks for posting and happy travels!

I got about 20 seeds laying around. If you want them, PM me an addy and I'll just send them over.
