They are beautiful. Thanks for your reply Tangich, with a bit of searching through the Polypores group I managed to work out what I have found , it is Microporus xanthopus, the Yellow-footed Polypore. I have seen that it is suppose to have medicinal properties but can't find much more than that, one thing I read said tribes in Malaysia gave it to children to stop them breast feeding . If anyone has more info on this mushroom please let me know. Cheers Jox

Hey tarenna, what do you mean by fertile material? I will collect some dry/open seed pods tomorrow, I think it was just starting to form some little flower buds so I will try to snap some pics of them tomorrow & more over the next few weeks as they develop. Cheers Jox

Thanks Seldom, I have seen a few seed pods on them but forgot to bring any home for photos, they were about 60-80mm long, they were straight & had a slight diamond shape to them, all of them had opened & had shed there seed. I will collect some for photos this week. The pods are what made me doubt obtusifolia (slight diamond shape), I would assume that would also rule out any Hakea sp as well, it would be nice if they were some kind of Hakea. Cheers Jox

What a Bullshit story!! Why is Bullshit like this being posted on this forum?

Yes please on 5 and 6 , I will give them a go on the bass . I will PM you tomorrow mate. Cheers Jox

Yeah mate, sorry for the misunderstanding, I meant the fee might discourage people from wanting to become members not the adds, that is why I was saying there could be a free "trial" period before paying an annual membership fee.

I love being a part of this forum & the fact there is no adds make it even better. I, like most other members that have been here for awhile would be more than happy to pay an annual fee of $25 to help T, I can see how a fee like this would possibly push away people from joining, to avoid this you could have a three month free trial period & if you like being a member here you can pay to stay. This might also be good in the way that people that join just to grab freebies or cause trouble may not bother if they have to pay a fee. What ever the outcome I will be hanging around Cheers Jox

BUMP!!

Just BUMPen this before I go to work in the hope of raising some more interest for Sunday . Have a good day everyone!! Cheers Jox

I know it's not much notice but I want to put it out there, myself & three other members will be catching up at mine from 12pm this Sunday for a few drinks & swapping a few plants, if there are any other members that would like to join us you are more than welcome . Just send me a PM & I'll give you the details. Cheers Jox

My house is a mess but you are all welcome . If anyone is keen on a meet at mine from (Tamborine mountain) 12pm this Sunday 6th send me a PM and let me know & I will give you my number & addy. Even if you have my addy send me a PM so I know who's coming. Cheers Jox

Mate your welcome to come up on Sunday, you to Bigred. I am happy to do it this Sunday, just need to get e few more members keen. I will look back here tonight & if it seem like there are people keen I will organize a time & PM people my addy . Cheers Jox

If we can make it a Sunday I should be right to make it . I can't have it a mine unless we do it this weekend as I have to move over the next few weeks, if you guys want to make it this Sunday you are welcome at mine. I am looking forward to catching up with everyone ! Cheers Jox

Your apology is excepted mate, I have been checking out you posts & you seem to be a very enthusiastic cactus collector & very keen to learn, there are plenty of smart members here learn from ! Cheers Jox

Most of your Pelecyphora's are now Turbs & HAVE BEEN FOR MANY YEARS!! I tried to tell you awhile ago but you told me to fuck off!! Maybe you should learn some respect. I was just trying to help!! Cheers Jox

Awesome mate, thanks for showing us the photos, it is amazing to see the harsh conditions it is growing in. I hope you enjoyed your couple of days away in the bush. Cheers Jox

No way ! Are you saying Curry leaf bush can grow into mull if grown in the sub-tropics? Curry flavored buds LOL.

This is just another example of why Australian sheep are luckier than Kiwi sheep. Here they kick back, get smashed, star gaze & call each other mate, over in NZ they call each other bro & have to stay straight & alert so they can get away from horny kiwi farmers .

Hey guys, I just noticed SBS1 is showing s doco about magic mushroom tonight at 9:50, I think it is in french but anyways. Just putting it out there for any keen viewers. Cheers Josh

I agree, fu#ken flat out crazy. Thank fuck for friday!!

Welcome Ford, I hope you work out your problems but honestly what do you expect with the name "Ford"? If you called yourself Holden you would not have any dramas!!

The only time I have had the luck to have dichotomous cacti form in my collection id when I have sown seed. I have never seen it happen to an adult cactus with out there being damage first. I would be interested to know if it can happen to a mature cactus for no apparent reason & if so why. Cheers Jox

The only time it has happened with my lophs is when I have over fertilized. I was using liquid fertilizer at about 3/4 strength & applying 3 times a month. I only did it for about three months like this & only to a handful of my lophs. They were putting on nice growth & looking awesome (so plump), then one morning I noticed two of them had split & the others had tiny cracks forming (stretch marks), I flushed them with water & left them to dry, luckily the ones with the cracks never split, I will take some photos & add them here in the next few days. I only fertilize my lophs 3 or 4 times a year now, normally at the start of the growing season then space the rest out to end a month before I stop watering for winter. Cheers Jox

Might be your fertilizer mate, I have had a grafted L.willi split due to to much ferts & a hard grown L.friccii split after to much fert. I have never seen grafted or hard grown lophs split without been over fertilized. Cheers Jox

I find them down near the goldy mate Cheers Jox
