    Where's the legislation on caapi legality?

    Torsten - Oh what? Just because you have the most successful and longest running ethnobotanical forum you think you know something about ethnobotanical forums? Can you even elaborate? Buttsack, you seem really confident in your understanding of how forums work but perhaps you missed some basic things: 1)You ask a question and people give their responses 2)There's no obligation that you and participating members reach an agreement 3)The owner of the forum has no obligation to engage you with dialogue at your choosing Why be hostile to those trying to help you with your question? You seem logic-driven yet this does not help you with your goal.

    Pterostylis despectans, a threatened species of terrestrial orchid in NSW.

    Salvia D

    Birds don't in general. In north America it's common to chop up superhot chillies to mix through bird seed so squirels don't eat the mix.
  4. 5 years ago, $200 to $250 would be right. I think on the auction group now you could expect closer to $500.

    cactus seed giveaway

    A struggling materialist at heart because my head is where I think. Sally offered me her hand and walked me to the brink. Intense interest bartering with my sanity. Can I let go and still land right where I plan to be? "There is no landing" she explains "there is no floor, There is no falling. Through space you only soar. No left, no right, no up, down, front or back, No matter, time or energy no you or I infact" She was right and gone and so was I or who I thought I was. And everything was gone for good just because... because. Of course I'm back. I never left. It was all inside my head. But then again so is everything I've ever thought or ever said. I'm profoundly unchanged in materialistic ways. The particles will be gone within a mere matter of days. Long after I experienced those feelings; so intense, But forever I have changed in an immeasurable sense.

    Yes, they are all Acacia obtusifolia.

    Dodonaea Viscosa Psycho-activity

    The new growth covered with a viscous resin is supposed to be chewed for a stimulant effect. I've never managed to figure out which subspecies is preferred. There is apparently a significant cyanide content in leaves and they are possibly carcinogenic. All I've heard is word of mouth with no scientific backing or word from our first nation people so I've never been game to try.

    Have I struck Gold!?

    Some of those appear to be Leratiomyces ceres. Divide them into two groups; red vs golden caps. Now check the gill colour. Do the red capped ones have white gills? If so they are L. ceres. It's best to wait until the caps open and spore is produced to ensure all the characters for identification are present. I would advise you do not consume any of these that do not stain blue.

    Have I struck Gold!?

    All of the individuals you posted are Psilocybe subaeruginosa.

    Acacia seeds!

    Fire frequencies could be responsible for the lack of it in spots that were recently burnt. Could be something else also. Always difficult to say. Acacia spp. Do regularly germinate by roads without fire. The physical abrasion of seed, the high amounts of light due to the cleared trees and the regular pooling and drying of water roadside contribute to faster seed coat decay allowing for germination. I'd still suggest an abundance of similarly aged Acacia spp. is likely the result of fire though. Perhaps they're particularly slow growing at that locality. Did you end up getting any Acacia obtusifolia seed? Are you still looking?

    Acacia seeds!

    They're mostly fire ephemerals. An abundance of young fire sensitive species generally means the area was burnt one, two or three seasons ago. Growth rates depend on a lot of factors including temps, altitude, soil nutrition, wind sun and snow exposure, rainfall etc. but they're generally very fast growing so you may see seed in summer.

    Trip sitting search terms

    I wonder if after doing your first pull of data you could sort words by frequency and read down the list until you find a word you feel is often associated with this context and add that to your future searches.

    Trip sitting search terms

    I realise I'm pointing out the problem and not contributing a useful reply but it seems people say things with terms that aren't unique to trip sitting such as "make sure you have somebody there with you". There's no specific word to search in that string. Can you search for a string of words?

    I'm assuming by your username you are in Tasmania?

    ID help please

    Maybe a Coprinopsis species.
  18. Freakosystem

    Plant ID

    No worries. Just to be clear, I don't think it's the species in the link specifically but maybe one of the species listed on thr panelon the left hand side of that page. It could be worth clicking on some to compare. Good luck!

    Plant ID

    Remimds me of Hebe species from NZ but that's a huge specimen. Compare to some of the species on the left panel here: http://www.terrain.net.nz/friends-of-te-henui-group/hebes/hebe-salicifolia-koromiko-south-island.html

    Bulk cactus wanted

    I've got lots of 2 year olds if interested but perhaps not "bulky" enough.
  21. I don't have any answers for you but could you elaborate on whether the pain is muscular, skeletal or nerve? I imagine the appropriate responses may vary for each.

    What to do with full variegated cutting?

    Where are you based? I've got some rooted pc at an appropriate size for grafting. Sydney north area. Is it small enough to impala graft with Pereskiopsis?
  24. Laccocephalum species. Likely L. mylittae.

    Native seeds for education/ youth development.

    Perfect! Doesn't matter too much if it's Sydney or Narabeen sandstone. Will send you some local sandstone species sourced ethically from private property. Trees, shrubs and forbs all good? Send me your address and I'll try and get them sent this week.
