  1. Maybe you can take a print from one you buy from coles or woolies for the buttons?

    Says in your interests you like wow... u gonna give the new D3 a bash doode?


  2. ^ Cheers Marcel - they smelt pretty average, and the caps were sticky - so if it had of been more damp I'd say they might of even been slimey.

    The net says that in europe they cultivate Rugosannulata for food - No way would I of eaten these specimens :P

    Thx for the ID brother!


  3. Hey guys, I found these two mushies, and some dead dry ones in my front yard shortly before easter. Can somone identify them please:

    The weather had been dry and the land was parched. The soil is sandy, location mid north coast nsw.

    Spore print may look chocolatey brown but from memory was black as night. Stalk bruised brownish, comparable to an apple or banana's bruising.

    Watcha think guys?

    Cheers,

    Mort.

  4. Hey I'm a noob but are these dog turds?

    I found them shortly before easter on the mid north coast (was pretty damn dry the land and the days that led up)

    Sort of like spore sacks... had a firm footing in the ground but the tops seem'd hollowish and full of sporey crap. See the older one next to the freshies.

  5. its pritty easy to sort out, call up quaranten from a pay phone, ask them, record it with your phone and play it back to the guy at the spore shop so they can correct there shipping policys and refund you.

     

    CBF factor very high - but this is a good idea man - linking it here too would put alot of minds at ease also I'd imagine.


  6. I wasn't aware of the legalities - I was fed comforting and well worded information that mislead me (according to you guys).

    The suppliers website and phone tech all lead their Australian customers to believe that no laws are being broken.

    The package was labled very clearly "Microscopy Sample for Mycology Research" Yet it wasn't picked up, confiscated, destroyed etc...

    Think of the other enthusiasts out there who dont know of shaman australis and just believe what there told, imagine of all the people unknowingly breaking the law.

    Bit of a grey area...

  7. I agree with you Psylo.

    When I got to the thread there was no receipt only what seemed like bragging of getting spores through customs.

    Was just trying to point out to this new member/hobbyist (and any others who may be thinking that importing spores is easy) that what he had done shouldn't be done again for his own safety.

    Anyways, posting a recepit was foolish and now he knows better!!!

     

    Yeah the receipt had my detailes rubbed out, but obviously not well enough. The cuntstable got some pearlers out. It was simply to give other hobbyist's out there ideas of discounts, pricing and proof that it can be done.

    Anything incriminating is removed now, yet I'm still not convinced there was a crime to be incriminated of. I've continued to research around and speak to people and a friend of mine ordered prints after hearing of my success. And after you guys ripped me apart for my stupidity, he decided to contact the supplier and ask for a refund and for them not to be sent. The supplier had this to say:

    "Thank you for contacting 'SAID SUPPLIER'. Your order was shipped out on March 20/2012. We are allowed to send spore prints into Australia, just not spore syriges. IF you have any other questions or concerns please contact me here or at 1 888 XXXXXXX. Andrew"

    So they are even urging us to contact them if we are concerned about anything. It seems as though if everything is for legitimate purposes (which it all is), then nothing is an issue right?

    Cheers,

    Mort.
