cmori3 Posted December 30, 2012 (edited) Did somebody ask for pictures? ;) I'm not sure if this kinda X-rated cube porn is permitted but I will put it here anyway Found in brisbane. Obviously it is illegal to pick but if I had to take a guess, I would say this beautiful cube weighs in at 90 grams ;) The cap alone is as big as my outstretched hand.

PsychMaster Posted January 3, 2013 went for a ride on a dirt bike up at mt nebo and found a few fly agaric on my travels and some field mushrooms with pink gills cant remember the name but they are delicious be careful about mt. nebo bro. they've sprayed pesticide all over the area around there, so yeah, good chance that you might get poisoned. just go bushwhacking after it rains to get the viking mushrooms.

MikeyMagic Posted January 3, 2013 be careful about mt. nebo bro. they've sprayed pesticide all over the area around there, so yeah, good chance that you might get poisoned. just go bushwhacking after it rains to get the viking mushrooms. Have you any knowledge if they are spraying Glyphosphate (Roundup) to control weeds? or is it something else? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iTiTrip Posted January 4, 2013 Ive made several trips to the coast, already. I foun dno cubes, several other types popped their head up, and Im fairly sure I saw a blue meaning along the road at Nimbin. Camera forgotten ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PsychMaster Posted January 4, 2013 Have you any knowledge if they are spraying Glyphosphate (Roundup) to control weeds? or is it something else? I don't know what the pesticide is brother. But yeah, someone told me that they saw someone spray fungicides and pesticides all over the area. it should still be safe though. I'm just suggesting that he washes them water before consuming the Viking shroom. Peace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's disappointing when you travel all the way down there to look for shrooms and you either get A. Chased off a farm by an angry farmer or B. Find that the fields been raped. But yeah man, I suggest that you go to Casino. Casino has fuckloads of secluded private farms filled with cow pies and is part of the Northern Rivers sector. Peace.

cmori3 Posted January 5, 2013 Me and a mate or two are dying to go to casino / byron from brisbane or thereabouts. wonder if any qld'ers are keen on driving us if provided gas money. we will do some surfing or someshit. the weather has been very wet there lately but it should clear up somewhat on monday so that would be a good time.

Bigred Posted January 6, 2013 i doubt the government spray's fungicide as it would kill of beneficial fungi as well and it would be a loosing battle spore's can travel for many miles 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeyMagic Posted January 6, 2013 (edited) i doubt the government spray's fungicide as it would kill of beneficial fungi as well and it would be a loosing battle spore's can travel for many miles Good point Red.. likey just Glyphosate or 'round up', to manage vegetative growth. Edit: I say 'just' because it is common. However depending on who you beilieve, this is either a really bad substance for humans or "safe as houses". All I can say for sure about it is; It works by penertrating the stomata of plants through leaves & green branches etc, circulating throughout the plants vascular system from there it works as an "Inhibitor of EPSP sythase (needed to sythesis amino acids)" Plant protection 1. 3rd edition 2003. R.M. Kerrusish & P. W. Unger. Page K40. In that respect very small amounts of the chemical will be present through out the entire plant. ie It cant be washed off! It can be present in plants for up to a month before the plant begins to die. It also needs the plant to be hydrated (full of water) to work effectively. It is inactive in the soil. Possibly a good reason to be aware of the management of particular titles of land if you wish to harvest wild edible mushrooms. Although due to the breif emergence period of mushrooms and the probabiltity this "herbicide" is inaffective on fungi perhaps this makes everything Ive just typed irrelavent... (gRR! I even opened a book even though I was telling myself Im too lazy to do that!) Oh well, hopefully it adds to the pool of knowledge anyway!

Bigred Posted January 7, 2013 I have heard of farmers spraying the cow pat's with a fungicide, but what you hear isn't always true Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stillman Posted January 7, 2013 Farmers don't spray for mushrooms, they have motorbikes blue healers and twenty twos to keep trespassers out. lol I mean how much money do you think that would cost to spray 60 acres with a fungicide to stop cubes growing. lol Mushroom pickers are like crows annoying but not high on the shit list. Urban myths are always a bit silly. "I heard dope growers spray there crop with mortein for a better buzz too". And the list goes on. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeyMagic Posted January 7, 2013 (edited) "I heard dope growers spray their crop with mortein for a better buzz too". Wouldnt that kill the buzz? Ahh but seriously this is a beautiful discussion. If there is one person with a question or misunderstanding there will be a thousand more out there in the shadows. I may have said this once before, but each of us floating these words simmering away in our brains helps to dispell fear due to misunderstanding. Personlly I have shiploads of knowledge about certain things, but on the flip side I have massive voids in my knowledge where I should have... more.. like about mushrooms...
