Anodyne Posted April 3, 2015 Hey thunderhorsepie regarding the possible-amadou in the previous post, yeah my first guess would be Ganoderma too - I didn't even know we got Fomes fomentarius in Australia. They sound pretty cool though. Then again, so are reishi. Actually, I think all bracket fungi are pretty groovy. Or, come to think of it, just fungi in general are pretty awesome. Nice find, whatever it is! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anodyne Posted April 4, 2015 Ah right TH, my apologies, was looking on my phone, which doesn't display user location info. I love this thread, even in dry seasons or when I can't get out to hunt myself, I still get to vicariously enjoy other peoples cool finds. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spooge Posted April 9, 2015 its that time again down here amanita muscaria hypholoma fasiculare ? Gymnopilus 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zed240 Posted April 10, 2015 Great work Pimento. Can't believe you've found A muscaria already. I've been on a few hunts already this year including a huge, all day hunt yesterday and it's very dry around. No lactarius, no suillus, no amanita, no tricholoma, no macrolepoita in any of my spots. Basically, bugger all is out yet. Some massive fucking gymnopilus junonius a Tapinella panuoides and some mycena was about it.Oh, and a cool bird with a red belly. And a geocache. That was it. Yesterday's pics below. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zed240 Posted April 10, 2015 Oh yeah, and a couple of pics from a hunt about 2 weeks ago. 28/03/2015 Dead porcini, heaps of dead ones, none suitable to collect. I could hardly believe they had popped that early. Has been no more since this flush though... Nice patch of Gyms and a coprinus comatus 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spooge Posted April 10, 2015 (edited) finding them coprinus is cool Zed, they are a majestic fungi. may your porcini hunts be fruitful i will find a damn porcini patch this season, i will , i will........... the bird is a scarlet robin - http://birdlife.org.au/bird-profile/scarlet-robin sexy things they are, i followed one around last season for an hour trying to get a real good pic, it would pose real well n id get all ready and then it would fly off again a short distance and id try again. I'm going out again today as I'm thinking i may know a spot where i may find some more early inactives Edited April 10, 2015 by pimento 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spooge Posted April 10, 2015 another walk today around the same spot as yesterday, went a bit deeper in and followed a creek till it opened up into a little dam. Tapinella panuoides, cheers Zed for the id. some nice patches of amanita deep in the pines first lactaria I've found this season, couple weeks and they'll be everywhere, took these home and ate them with dinner can't get enough of big fluffy gyms no matter what time of the season, they always amaze me koala in a pine 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mutant Posted April 11, 2015 pimento what you thought was Hypholoma fasciculare looks a lot like it, it should be some Hypholoma species in the least. Nice finds, haven't found no morels yet, but haven't been searching 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zelly Posted April 11, 2015 not really a 'found in the wild find', but pretty damn wild to be found in my kitchen, (sorry for the piss poor cell phone pics) A plate full of Lions Mane, fresh from kt's growing chamber........ YUMMY !!! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mutant Posted April 12, 2015 If this is some Hericium sp. I have eaten once dried and they were bitter.. but they're suppoed to be eaten very fresh and young if you want mushrooms that taste like seafood, you have to try Amanitas rubescens or / and Coprinus comatus too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Strontium Dawg Posted April 19, 2015 Saffron milk caps are bountiful if you can find a place the gypsies haven't clear felled. If I was hunting amanitas today, I could have filled semi trailers. They were so thick you could hardly take a step without treading on one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
