Whoops! Didn't attach the pic

I found these little beauties up in the Fiji Highlands ;)

Woah Pim! The spore print King!

I found some liberty caps in Oberon about a month back. At first I thought they were skinny wild type subs (not the thick, stocky ones found in woodchip beds). The funny thing was that I was going for an edible mushroom forage and a then end of the day I left the pine forest to relieve myself and head home and I almost urinated all over them! Mushrooms work in mysterious ways

I bought the shiitake and they're contaminated too. I might just chuck them out in the mulch and see what happens.

Received mine thanks Pim. I'll be spreading some SA species in Sydney after having a look at them. What a dude

Nice find

I dont think theyre saffron milk caps...I just picked a tonne out in Oberon last week and saw quite a few variations in the size and shape but none that really looked like your third photo. They definitely are tasty though!!

Yeh cool, thanks for the info guys. I do have quite a few photos of hunts that I've been on lately. I'll post them up as soon as I figure out how to make them smaller without losing the quality. I might go for a little walk near a stream that's in the middle of a eucy forest right now ;)

How big was the cap. Could it possibly be coprinus atramentarius?? The inky cap? Edit: a young fruit?

The masses arent all on SA though. It takes a bit of determination to actually go and search for these said habitiats rather than pillage the local mulch beds. Thats why it would be good to know where people are finding them. Asking on here is a good way to survey some experienced hunters, and I'm sure even the more experienced hunters would discover new habitiats

I was thinking about finding other areasfinds watch for subs rather than the common mulched garden. I know they do well there, but before mulchers they must have grown elsewhere. I was just wondering what kind of habitat people have collected subs before ie grassed area under casurina forest etc. that way us dovoted hunters won't have to compete with the masses who all know 'mushies grow in mulch gradens' I can't claim this next idea as my own, a thoughtful friend of mine put me onto it, but such a profile could be used with remote sensing and reflectivity to find undiscovered sub patches!! Let the profiling begin!! If you could detail the habitat you found your little friends and maybe a bit on the climate that would be sweeet.

O.M.G

Yehh, i wasnt too worried. I just hadnt heard from Joshie for a while. Good things come to those who wait. As for the no dig; I chucked a fair bit of pea straw in along with some chicken manure. Hopefully that shold boost the available nitrogen enough. I was also thinking of using the heat generated by the composting layers to support an outdoor portobello grow, just while its a little chilly out.

Hey y'all, Just wondering if anyone has purchased seeds from the corroboree member Joshie? I also just set up a no dig garden. I've never used one before, any tips or tricks to share?? Trayt
