As I have used the search function, and can't seem to find what I'm looking for. Could someone please enlighten me as to wether it is legal to send cubensis spore prints to W.A, from what I have seen they have strict quarantine laws when it comes to flora. While we are at it what are all the states laws in regards to this? Cheers guys

Cheers olive , it's probably best I make that a habit regardless of state sent to Also, would it be a bad idea to label prints with species and variant when sending there? Just trying to dot the I's and cross the T's

Hey fellow forum dwellers, Seeing as I have been shown so much love and genoristy from the gem's of human beings that inhabit this community, I want to pay it forward now that I have the chance, by giving away 3x individual cubensis spore prints (Golden Teacher). For microscopy research purposes strictly of course. I'll be giving them to the first 3 responders to this post. Aus residents only please Again I'd like to thank the people that went out of their way to generously gift me some of the sweet plants I have in my garden and being so patient in enduring and answering all of my nooby questions. You guys ROCK!

As long as I've been a good boy and I'm lucky enough that Santa visits me, yes

I'm down for that

ok dude, i get it, i'll leave it alone to do its thing haha. Its hard though with my OCD tendencies I will keep that in mind for my other cuttings though, i have been getting impatient and wanting to know if they had started rooting. I have been contemplating pulling them up to have a look, but have thought better of it and manged to practice restraint so far... Cheers dude, i have sort of felt like I'm annoying shit out of everyone with all my questions. Well if it entertains you i'm glad i could be of service Thats handy to know Wert, as i have been leaving them all in under the patio, a bit worried about exposing them to the sun. I sorta burned one lil guy slightly by letting him get a few hours sun in the arvo. gave me a bit of a shock as i thought that it was already somewhat acclimatised to the sun as when i got it from the nursery it was outside. silly me put back into shade for a week or two

just noticed one of my pachanoi cuttings has these black wounds at the growing tip today, they must have only recently formed as i didn't notice them a few days ago. Can anyone tell me whats going on here? are critters attacking her? what can i do to remedy the issue?

Ok looks like i got my recipients will get them sorted and posted out in the next day or two. Send PM's my way fella's **Shallen, do you know if you are going to have issues receiving the print? being in W.A i have read the have rather strict quarantine laws?** **edit - all good mate, Sussed it out. Will get onto it when you PM me

Awesome, I'll look into buying some next time I go shopping. But will get onto it with watered down ISO in the meantime

By new growth, I assume you mean several fresh new spikes protuding from the growing tip? I can't really tell if they are putting any noticeable height on, though the tips have that fresh lime green colour to them which I don't remember being like when I received them. Sorry for the cascade of noob questions guys

Cheers mate, will do

I'm pretty sure Jan 2nd is a saturday Sharxx? so are we locking it in for then? any word from the other guys? red, ban man, DoubleBenno?

Cheers for the tip thunder horse. does it have to be alcohol hand gel, or can i use some Iso-propyl alcohol on a cotton swab? well Gtarman, i have moved it to a spot that only gets and hour or so sun in the morning, though I'm a bit worried if it rains while I'm not here. I live in a bit of a sucky spot in relation to the sun, under the patio is the only covered place to put them (besides the green house) but it doesn't receive any direct light through the day. Do cuttings waiting to root need some amount of direct sunlight to shoot them out?

also the green house stays open so humidity is not too high. i just put the cuttings waiting to root in there and small seedlings

that being said gtarman, it is a cutting that has not rooted yet, wouldnt it be harmful to expose it to full sun until it has taken root?

if it helps i can take more pics tomorrow morning?

why would you advise that treatment rall? as in what do you think it is to have caused it? it looks like the black bruising/scab that bridgesii's i have recieved in the mail had from transit damage. i find it weird though because i havent dropped it or hit/touched the growing tip that i'm aware of. If it is bruising is it safe to hit it with a toothbrush?

i didn't realize that mycelium would go into fruiting by finding an edge, Im guessing you mean because it found the light? I inoculate against the outer edges of the jar so as i can see colonisational progress so it started at the edge technically right? well seems that early fruiting has not affected the colonization as all of the jars have come out fine. so false alarm peoples haha Ah fair enough, i didn't know how to take what alfamiller said about shroomery. i know it gets a bad rap sometimes. I haven't really made any posts over at shroomery, i haven't really had to yet. I have been posting in this community though so i figured it would just be easier to ask here as i check corroborree frequently. Is mycology not the corroborree members strong point?

Cheers for the input guys, it has been in a very shady spot - under the patio which gets little direct light. I have moved it into the green house so should get a little more heat. If anything it has been less humid the last few days, though very warm and humid the last week. I don't believe it's scale either wert, though I may be wrong?

Cheers mate!

Thanks for the advice ETho I would have thought that I would seen contamination by now? They have been incubating for a a month roughly now. Not saying that you are wrong mate, just my observations. I thought it was just due to 2 year old spores as even the healthy jars have taken a week or so longer to colonise compared to when I had done inoculations when the print was fresh. Oh well half have been successful at least anyway. Is it still worth taking a print from the succseful harvest even though it's from old spores, or should I just acquire some new ones?

Yeh i have learned most of what i know perusing that forum... should i be wary of what i read there?

I thought FAE was the major pinning factor and that the light theory was disproven? In saying that the ones that are pinning early are getting slightly more light than the ones that have pinned around the appropriate time which were in a shadier spot, if only slightly

That would be much more preferable for me Personally, if your friend would be so kind

I'm free the weekend of the 19th... I can only suggest campsites. Flannagans reserve near mt barney wasn't bad, I'll have a look for some more and post back soon
