It is illegal to collect seeds or any plant material without a permit from within any national park but imo especially the Daintree River National park. The Daintree, like most of the rainforest in fnq has the highest protection level possible: world heritage listing. Fines are big if you get caught, but moreover this is a very rare species with fragile populations so removing samples without good cause is a pretty shit thing to do imo. A small sample for breeding purposes maybe an exception (the ranger wouldn't consider it though!), but if it is merely for the purpose of the psychonaut then with something as rare as Idiospermum, NO!

Very interesting, thanks for the replies! I have found mature individuals quite hard to find in the rainforest, I think mostly due to the targeting of this species during selective logging times. My search is continuing however...

I stumbled over an interesting description of a Flindersia spp. in the Hyland et al. Key to Australian Rainforest Plants. Under natural history notes for the tree Flindersia bourjotiana. It says: "The bark of most Flindersia spp. Contains compounds of considerable chemical interest. This observation was imprinted on the author’s mind by a story told to him by some aboriginal forestry workers in the Kuranda area. The story goes something like this: “We found the sugar bag (native bee hive) and cut it out of the tree it was in. Rather than put it on the ground and get it contaminated with dirt and pebbles, we stripped the bark off a Silver Ash (Flindersia bourjotiana) and placed the sugar bag on the clean, inner surface of the freshly stripped bark. Later on when we had eaten the sugar bag we could see fairies floating through the rainforest.” Whether the hallucinations were induced by the exudates from the F. bourjotiana or from components of the sugar bag or from some completely unrelated source will never be know with certainty." Anyone know of any other in vivo tests or more on effects?

Damm man, anyone hungry?! Just reading this post is giving me a major case of the munchies... and im not even stoned

I was a member around the turn of the century (ohh those were the days), but now I seem to be wasteing more time on these forums

... the sporeworks p.cub amazonian strain... you have...

Yeah seriously, works! It also cures the flu, the common cold and many more... well, atleast for the next 6 hrs

no idea, was in a very diverse region, probably one of the most in Australia... i'm sure someone out there would know though

wow most influential psychoactive plant. Shit, just one, that's tough!

I took this photo: http://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/inde...si&img=1249 ... of a glow in the dark fungi in the Atherton tablelands last week. It is about 1 cm tall, white in daylight, and the gap glow looked light green in the night... very cool

yeah, neighbour came home the other day with a big bag of P.cyan's .. and considering who much rain has fallen (holy shit loads!!!!!) there are plenty more around the corner

thanks!!
