  1. Amazing. So I imagine that the seed came from a mature horticultural specimen rather than wild.
  2. Those with the super-long phyllodes certainly look like hybrids. Any idea what species might be involved ?

    As the person who made the statement I may be best qualified to answer it. That clip illustrates how corporate news no longer has any regard for truth but is merely a lying propaganda machine. This applies from 9 News to Skynews, and the ABC is no different, so there is no moral argument for preserving it.

    More fun and games in Melbourne as the saga continues. VIC Govt wants to see Australianso get killed by violence instead of covid. Here's links to two vids on the action. At some stage I'll find the patience to remember how to embed vids. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jReamRwtNrU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCIWfRmZ-Ww

    Brave Australians stood up to tyranny just days ago. Posting here a link to standard Australian media coverage which as we all know is free of disinformation so it's OK for this thread. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqlpO785Y90 The ABC should be de-funded.

    Speaking of freedoms, I believe there are to be to be major protests across Australia coming Tuesday Aug 31 for those that are interested.

    So it was researched. It doesn't sound like they found much. Perhaps they could research some more.

    WA Gyms, tis the season

    Those WA hunters that are interested in active Aussie gyms could do worse than check out the Survey Reports on the Perth Urban Bushland Fungi website. Several of the reports and locations describe finds of Gymnopilus purpuratus and there are indications of that there may be undescribed active gyms in some of the reports. So this is a bit of a heads up for WA hunters and a fervent hope that we may yet see some good pics of WA purpuratus or other interesting WA gyms. We really need more pics (and prints) of interesting Aussie gyms. Enquries have indicated the thumbnail size photos in the reports are unavailable at a higher resolution.

    WA Gyms, tis the season

    Giving this thread a heads up. There are still gyms out there & they make great pics which everyone totally loves. A bit of gym news ; There was a gym sequenced on Genbank from NT that had the same sequence of G.dilepis, an active species.

    If Scummo wasn't such a great fuckup, Covid would have been totally eliminated in Australia a year ago, no vaccine needed. By monumental stupidity or by design, Australia still struggles with something that lasts no longer than 2 weeks. Don't trust authority, political, scientific or medical..

    Those who haven't done so should check out the movie 'V for Vendetta' possibly the most relevant film of these times and one I re-watched last week.

    This is the type of discussions we should be having rather than the censorship and single narrative that prevails. Thanks. Here are a few pieces I took away from that. From Giorgio Agamben 3 pieces. Therefore, in a perverse vicious circle, the limitations of freedom imposed by governments are accepted in the name of a desire for safety that was created by the same governments that are now intervening to satisfy it. Fear is a bad counsellor, but it makes us see many things we pretended not to see. The first thing the wave of panic that’s paralysed the country has clearly shown is that our society no longer believes in anything but naked life. It is evident that Italians are prepared to sacrifice practically everything – normal living conditions, social relations, work, even friendships and religious or political beliefs – to avoid the danger of falling ill. The naked life, and the fear of losing it, is not something that brings men and women together, but something that blinds and separates them. Other human beings, like those in the plague described by Manzoni, are now seen only as potential contaminators to be avoided at all costs or at least to keep at a distance of at least one metre. The dead – our dead – have no right to a funeral and it’s not clear what happens to the corpses of our loved ones. Our fellow humans have been erased and it’s odd that the Churches remain silent on this point. What will human relations become in a country that will be accustomed to living in this way for who knows how long? And what is a society with no other value other than survival? It’s not surprising that we talk about the virus in terms of a war. The emergency provisions effectively force us to live under a curfew. But a war against an invisible enemy that can nestle in any other human being is the most absurd of wars. It is, to be truthful, a civil war. The enemy isn’t somewhere outside, it’s inside us. What’s worrying in not so much the present, not only the present a tleast, but the aftermath. In the same way as the legacies of wars on peacetime have included a whole range of nefarious technologies, from barbed wire to nuclear plants, so it is very likely that there will be attempts to carry on pursuing, even after the medical emergency is over, many of the experiments governments hadn’t been able to implement: may universities and schools remain shut, with lessons and lectures taking place online, may an end be put once and for all to meetings and gathering to talk about political and cultural questions, may we only exchange digital messages and may wherever possible machines replace any contact – any contagion – between human beings. From Sergio Benvenuto 2 pieces There are more politics in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy. and After all, the effects of this epidemic will strengthen a tendency that would have in any case prevailed, and of which “working remotely” or “wfh”, working from home and avoiding the office, is only one aspect. It will be less and less common for us to wake up in the morning and board public or private vehicles to reach the workplace; more and more we will work on our computers from our homes, which will also become our offices. And thanks to the Amazon and Netflix revolutions, we will no longer need to go out to do the shopping or to theatres to see movies, nor to buy books in bookshops: stores and bookshops (alas) will disappear and everything will be done from home. Life will become “hearhted” or “homeized” (we already need to start thinking up neologisms). Schools too will disappear: with the use of devices like Skype, students will be able to attend their teachers’ lessons from home. This generalized seclusion caused by the epidemic (or rather, by attempts to prevent it) will become our habitual way of life. In relation to the above two authors, we were speaking of isolation earlier. This is isolation to perverse and insane degree.

    It's not up to "anti-vaxxers" to do anything of the sort. If the gov has more than what is wanted then it can send surpluses to other country's.

    As with big-pharma so with governments. Your health is not the uppermost thing on their minds.

    Are you in ill health, such that you have a lot to fear ? Or unable to isolate ?

    covid 19 vaccination

    I agree we could learn a lot. But it seems they have yet to figure out why many are asymptomatic and others suffer badly or shown any interest in this. It's one of the first things that should have been studied.

    Thank you, I answered the question for myself as requested. Everyone is not my concern. If we are so concerned about the welfare of everybody then perhaps they could stop destroying the planet and make greed illegal. The rest of your post is pure BS from Mr Judgement himself.

    If you are addressing me then I may comment that your post has little relevance to my last post. It only reflects your own quasi-religious view of things.

    I believe one must be clear in ones mind as to why one may chose vaccination. Fear of death ? Fear of "Long term Covid" ? So filled with the constant media barrage with its fearmongering that one is unable to think straight ? You're going to be badgered into doing it anyhow ? Other ?
