So awesome! Thanks Freakosystem. So I have another question now. When I collect spore prints from them, do I want to keep putting some of the spores back into the growing mycelium colony? Do I want to put them into an area a little bit ahead of the expanding colony? Or try and start new colonies elsewhere in garden?

I was wondering if anyone can help ID these. I had help with an ID here a couple of years ago and transffered some spores of what I think was a positive p.sub ID, to my new place. I have cultivated a nice little patch in garden mulch which I had fed with cardboard and eucy mulch over the past few years. the mycelum patch now is a solid 2m long by about 1m wide. With a nice little misting system that gives them a regular spray. I am in the ACT and they just started flushing in the last week. I have watch the entheogenesis ID vids, but I just want to make sure. Any answers are greatly appreciated.

Freakosystem, I just reread your post and the gills on the ones that didn't bruise blue have gills that seem to more yellows than white.

Well could have been an issue! But so interesting as the 2 groups are from different sections of the backyard. The kids on the left all seem to have bruised blue. And are from a spot that receives a bit more sun. Not sure how to proceed as they seem so similar.

Thanks a lot for the responses. i have taken another shot of a few harvested ones just to be sure?

It's been a while since I have been on the hunt. But I was rummaging in my garden in the ACT and I came across these. I have struggled for years to find them in mulch, as I'm used to fossicking amongst cow poo. So I'm not sure what the little cow poo cousins look like. The stems bruised blue and I have taken some prints. The prints seem to be more brown than purple. And they are missing their little nipple on top. Some experienced eyes will be very much appreciated.

I found a few sneaky ones, in the main ranges area last weekend!

Hey WT, Any more pics on your big ones with lots of pups? Im looking for a beauties to add to the collection. Cheers

I would definitely be keen to join the next meet!

That Helmet Orchid is a beautiful flower and is showing up in a lot of other places around our area, though due to the climate where they are are only sending up the flower stem now as opposed to the ones in the photo which we took nearly a month ago. And you are right we have had an absolute bumper year this year for rain, coupled with a burn off in this particular park which cleared a lot of the bush leaf litter

Whats RC Andy?

Sorry the pics came out back to front The one on the far right is the helmut orchid Middle one is still the mosquito orchid And the one on the left is the nodding orchid Cheers

I have to share these. These are three awesome ground orchids found growing in the national park behind my mothers place. None of which have been seen in our area for a very long time. All three were found in a very small area. Not all of the orchids were flowering but there were thousands of them that have shot up their leaves. They are a deciduous plant that lives below the ground over the hotter months, that will send leaves above ground over the cooler months and when the conditions are right will send up flowers. The first one is a Helmet Orchid Corybus barbarae Mosquito Orchid Acianthus fornicatus Nodding Greenhood Pterostylis nutans Hope you enjoy

Cheers NoThink, I have a couple of plants growing now but they are just not ready for harvesting. And I have read the flower buds and leaf tips should be used as feel

Yeah I had to weigh it out as I only had 20g and wanted to see if I could stretch it out over 7 days and see if the effects got more profound the longer I used it. But in hindsiht I think single large doses would be more effective. Scarecrow, is there any chance you know where to source bulk material at a reasonable price?
