Some assistance with my trichocereus peruvianus please
nedkelly replied to nedkelly's topic in Cacti & Succulents
Hey guys thanks for all your replies. I planted the seeds on 03/04/14 and they took around 12 or 13 days to pop up. So now nearly a month with minimal growing. I'm guessing they could be going into hibernation as the temperatures here in Brisbane have been dropping. I have positioned the little humidi seedling chamber (not too sure what it's called) inside and have made up a little grow room for them where i'm using CFL lighting to both keep them warm and provide light. Would it be better if i bought a heat mat and used sunlight during the day to get them going? Cheers guys -

nedkelly posted a topic in Cacti & Succulents
Hey guys, I've been a member of the forums for a while now and it seems to be a wealth of information!! I bought a packet of trich. Peru seeds off the shaman australis website and have managed to raise about 5 put of 20 seeds. My soil mix I found online and it 1 part organic soil, 1 part peat moss and 1 part sand. The cacti have been getting indirect sunlight for a number of weeks now but have just stopped growing. Is there something I need to do to kickstart them again? I'll get some photos up asap! Cheers everyone, Ned -
Thanks for the quick replies guys! I want to start getting a little cactai collection, a cereus will be a good start I'll take a look through the threads for taking cuttings and planting, can't be too hard!

Hey guys, I was hoping someone would be able to identify the species of this cactus I came across in my suburb. From doing my research it looks very similar to cereus peruvianus, though I was hoping it was a trich so I could take a cutting and plant it at my house. Cheers guys.

Lucky i took spore prints of ALL mushrooms, i found two of them barely had prints at all and the one they did leave was a light brown so i'm guessing they were Galerinas. The others had a dark browny/purply print so these ones must be subs. I will taking spore prints of all the mushrooms i pick in the future to ensure i don't get the good and the bad mixed up. Thanks for your help.

Found them in A national park.. What colour spore prints are the deadly mushrooms??
-
Thanks for the quick reply mate, yeah i know not to eat them unless i'm 110% sure. Here's a few more i found today, some of which had blue spots before i picked them, and all of them after i picked them. These ones were found in a National Park growing in leaf litter. For mycology study purposes i forgot to add.. Cheers

Hey guys, Was four wheel driving in the mountains in South East New South Wales and i came across these beauties. The habitat was a gum forest which regularly gets rainfall and cold cold temperatures. I didn't notice any blueing after picking, does this mean they are not of the magic variety? Any help is most appreciated.

Hey everyone, Thanks for your replies. Not being 100% sure on the type of fungi i, threw them out. If there is anyone in North East Victoria going for a hunt soon and would not mind me tagging along, i'd love to come and learn how to distinguish between the good and the bad. Send me a pm. Cheers! Ned.

Hey all, This is my first post but i have been doing a fair bit of reading on these wonderful forums. Whilst driving on the alpine way back from Thredbo area mid this week i noticed the temperatures were very cold and it had been raining so i pulled the car over and walked up an overgrown firetrack through the bush to see what fungi i could discover. The shrooms i found and picked bruised blue which i read is a sign of them being of the special type, but i'm unsure of the correct I.D. any help would be most appreciated. Here are some photos. Thanks guys! Forgot to mention these are all for research purposes! Ned.
