We got the DNA back on these guys - turns out they are Lepista sordida which obviously also grows native in Australia. And confirmed edible.

Xanthoderma and other phenol-containing Agaricus stain yellow that fades as its oxidised within half an hour. Yellow staining in other Agaricus (usually almond-smelling species) does not fade.

Having considered this in more detail i think daffy does little for me because i use stimulants to increase my blood pressure (which it doesnt seem to).
therefore for me it was pretty useless.

what works for me is h202 and sub culturing on agar plates. Every other technique is hit and miss,

Flavour can only described as bizarre even by Lepista / blewit standards.

Mites hatched out of a wild clone once and contaminated my entire collection in two days
littke buggars are bad news

Not really. I was going to try indoors with compost and manure and I think this might work better. Ive noticed that it didnt fruit off the rye grass seed but rather from surrounding hardwood chips so that might be worth a shot as well

If you want to get cheap DNA sequences pop me a pm btw.

Careful of those shaggies - according to DNA our shaggy parasols may be a little different to those found elsewhere. Some eat them fine, but some projectile vomit

Gday mate - I have plates of a tested strain of King Stropharia and im working on my spawn, a commercial white oyster strain and a feral blue oyster that is very impressive and colonises very quickly, Lepista sublilacina, Calocybe indica, Turkey Tail if you are interested.
In terms of what I grow at home its mainly piopinno to be honest because it tastes so damn awesome although kind strophs are growing on me.

Hi mate thanks for the response. Yes there are a few feral oysters around. A white and pink species up around Brisbane and Northern NSW seems pretty close to djamor and there was a brown one I found in the Yarra ranges that I guessed was australis.
The local ones around here always seem blue.
Results were the DNA sequence was 99% similar to American ostreatus and about 96% close to a similar oyster species - it was quite different from australis and Alan Rockefeller stated flat out that it was ostreatus.

Dude I normally sell some but I had a recent mite infestation and all I have is white oysters and Lepista sordida at the moment.
