bardo

It has flowered once before, has a beautiful purple/reddish colour, will post a pic when it blooms : ) Would like to cross it with a trich one day when the flower timing works out, last season had a couple of trichos flower but ruby skipped that year no signs of flowers so far on any of the trichos

That's a beauty of a list, been wanting to get into mycology for a while but haven't the time to properly engage in it as of yet. Anyhow that is a great selection indeed : )

Looks like the echinopsis ruby visions x terscheckii and echinopsis calochlora are going to flower, will be trying at making a cross both ways of these two : )

I don't know but i wouldn't be surprised if it works for at least a short time, especially if you make a bit of a rock pool or in still water, they are strong alkaloids and as far as i know it has goodly amounts in it, D. Myoporoides x D. Leichhardtii has up to 7% I think a good sized bunch crushed a bit and added to the water as fish poison or to stun animals seems fairly plausible

From what i have read myoporoides leaves where used as fish poison

The main book i go to is Wild food plants of australia by Tim Low, some others i have Bush tucker field guide by Les Hiddins, The weed forager's handbook by Adam Grubb & Annie Raser-Rowland, Plants of central queensland by Eric Anderson, Australian medicinal plants by E.V Lassak & T. McCarthy and of course the internet is very handy : )

Duboisia hopwoodii x Duboisia myoporoides (cultivated)

Native plantain edible leaves, the seeds when wet turn into a jelly/mucilage and used as a traditional herbal cure for constipation. Apparently when eating the dry seeds they swell in the stomach and add bulk to faeces. Colonists in NSW made "sago" puddings by adding boiling water and sugar to the seeds

Man that is a cool looking plant, would be great for the garden just to look at : ) Found this info - The plant has been cultivated as a cover crop and soil improver, This species has a symbiotic relationship with certain soil bacteria; these bacteria form nodules on the roots and fix atmospheric nitrogen. Some of this nitrogen is utilized by the growing plant but some can also be used by other plants growing nearby. Good luck finding it, it is a real stunner. If you find seeds available somewhere let us know : )

strangler fig - ficus watkinsiana Beautiful and amazing long lived tree with edible fruit Some immature fruits

Native olive - Olea paniculata I should have taken some pics of the fruits as there was many all over the ground, not sure of the edibility or uses of these ? if anyone has info about them would like to hear what you know : )

Awesome, thanks for the info MooseZeus : )

I believe this is Cunjevoi - Alocasia macrorrhizos Wild food plants by Tim Low states The cunjevoi is one of the most dangerously poisonous of australian plants, and children have died from nibbling the leaves and stems. The rhizomes, though poisonous, are very starchy, and aborigines soaked and baked them to remove the toxin. Settler Tom Petrie noted that rhizomes were soaked lengthily, pounded, made into cakes and roasted. According to another report bulbs were scraped, baked, pounded and baked again, the process being repeated 8 or 10 times. Aborigines no longer harvest this dangerous plant. Sounds like a pain in the ass for a bit of tucker.

Giant stinging tree - Dendrocnide excelsa Pink edible fruits, caution of stinging hairs

Diploglottis australis - native tamarind Edible fruit

Went on a walk through the bunya mountains the other day (when a bloody tornado went through near by, got hailed on near the end of the walk lol) Anyhow took some pics of some fungi in the area

I hope that it's not rotting Humbolt, it's not looking to good Also remember to sterilize your knife/blade if ya don't already ?

I have some acacias on the property and am curious what they might be, the location is around the south burnett region, i am thinking maybe acacia leiocalyx or concurrens ? I have a young concurrens plant and it looks very similar to the saplings around here, anyhow any help or ideas are very appreciated : )

Lol, an ignominious punishment awaits the non believer/s and those whom do not abide by the holy science.

Thanks MG, i don't have any pics but will try remember to post one here next time it does flower. I can't remember exactly but i think it was white with only very faint pink stripes tho i can't be certain i am remembering right

Went to collect the eggs down the hen house the other week and found this among them
