    As the title says I'm looking for photos of prints, I would love to see as many different photos as I can. Preferably with their identification.  

    Now before I go any further I would like to explain the reason I'm looking for these pictures. It's seems that I've got myself into a bit of a situation, my 16 year old daughter has bought herself a tattoo gun and I have been asked to be her first patient / guinea pig / victim lol. I figure a mushroom print shouldn't be to complicated and I have always had a passion and a connection with shrooms. 

    So if you don't mind me getting something that hopefully looks similar to your picture permanently put on my body please so me your photos..

    Cheers Jox..

    Hey Macca, hope you've been going well. The reason that I asked to see photos is because they are a very rare treasure to find in QLD. Actually the more I've thought about the opening post the more I doubt that they would be subs, for one I don't think that the minimum temperatures would have been getting low enough yet and the other thing is that I spent many winters searching those mountains and never came across true wild (in the bush) patches of subs. Now I can say that I did find and identify a couple of little patches of subs on those mountains but they were in man made parks and gardens. To this day I still question whether you can find endemic subs in QLD or if the handful of subs that have ever been found and positively identified have been introduced.

    Hey RC, hope you've been well brother.

     

    PsillySimon it's great to hear someone talking about south east QLD subs again. I have not been hunting in down that way for at least 4 years now but when I lived there I had found two fairly reliable patches where I could find subs in the colder months. They were up in the mountains where the night time temperature would fall below 10 degrees. I hope you keep finding these treasures, please keeps us updated on your adventures..

     

    Ps.. I love photos........

    People always want proof of seQLD subs lol..

     

    Cheers Jox..

    Hey I hope everyone is doing well. I am a long time member but have spent the last few years focusing on family. Now it's time to get back into my garden and start catching up with like minded people.

    Regards Jox..

    Hey all, it's been awhile since I've posted here but am planing on getting back to my friends here.

    Anyway I am planning on selling some of my special plants. I have pretty much anything & everything , the only catch is plants will have to be picked up from the goldy. If you are interested in expanding your collection & can get to the gold coast send me a message with your wish list & we can work something out.

    Cheers

    Hi all,

    I know this is an old post but I would like to see how things are going. I have read Kadakuda's papers and this year got the chance to try crossing my fricii and Koehresii both ways. I did this about 3 months ago (will add dates and photos in next few days) and it's seems I have had the opposite result, the fricii excepted to pollen from the koehresii and set a fruit with seeds :o, the koehresii has not produced any fruits. Have others had any luck with fricii excepting koehresii pollen?

    Cheers

    That is a good wright up rc, it pretty much sums up the run around the goldy to mate :wink:.

    I have not been for a walk yet as I know it is still to dry to find any decent finds, we have had a few showers but it has not even been enough to green up the grass.

    Does anyone know how to do a rain dance? We really need the summer rains to kick in :BANGHEAD2:.

    I had a great arvo catching up with mates & meeting/making new mates :), also scored some very nice plants which is always a bonus.

    I must say I have wondered about inviting strangers around to my house & to be honest people have tried to advise me against it but every time I do one of these meets I am amazed at how good natured, courteous & respectful everyone is. I new most of the people coming & now I have meet doublebenno & The Ban Man I can say they are people I truly look forward catching up with more often. Thanks to everyone for turning up & making it a very nice arvo, if any of you are ever passing by fill free to drop in.

    Regards

    Don't be shy, should be a good arvo.

    Hey mate, it sounds like a frustrating situation :BANGHEAD2:.

    From the information you have given it seems the seeds are germinating & using all there energy & then failing to get more, this would mean the roots aren't taking up food or are rotting. The other source of energy is light, it sounds like the soil should not be the problem, you have also said that you are careful with your watering so this makes me wonder about the light yours seedlings are getting. Min & max temps are also something that can cause dramas for seedlings. Good luck working this out.

    Cheers

    Nice!! And thanks so much for contributing to the thread!! I thought i was just going to be talking to myself on this one. Hehe. I can't wait till my own-roots ones are this big. They're all really tiny at the moment, but there's like 100 of them now!! Lol. And I have about 1000 seeds plus seed producing grafts. So in a few years i will be alberto-king. :P

    Beautiful plant mate!! How old is that?

    The king, Hostilis Alberto :wink:.

    Hey mate, I am not sure how old my plant is as I got it last year as a mature plant. I have done a fair bit of reading about these since there discovery, I think your three locations look the way they should including the flowers. As far as I know Alberto has been placed in the Diffusae section of Lophophora along with koehresii, fricii & diffusa so if you are thinking they or there flowers look a bit fricii it is because there are suppose to. This would also mean it should not cross with williamsii.

    A basic description of alberto, Flower: color range is from almost white to pale pink with a darker mid stripe, it is very similar to L. koehresii the only differences being alberto can have rounded tepals & the bud forms differently. Growth: Alberto grows similarly to koehresii, the areoles radiate from the apical meristem, it differs from koehresii in that it never gets as many ribs, alberto has an average of 5 ribs rarely up to 8. Color: This is were alberto is different from koehresii & a lot more like fricii, alberto has a grey/mauve, greenish/violet epidermis & never get a dark bold green color like koehresii. The thing that sets alberto apart from its other Diffusae cousins is obviously its size at maturity, the seeds have very distinct differences as well.

    not many people grow albertos, so that's probably why, you maybe had to talk to yourselfe for a while...

    I was given a few alberto seeds via the forum, but they were not, true alberto seeds, but cross pollinated, and as such produced mostly bigger lophs, than albertos.

    one of the seedlings though, turned out to be a true alberto!

    the pic shows 3 hard grown (just learned that term :)) lophs, all are the same age, guess which one is the alberto. :wub:

    attachicon.gifalberto.JPG

    edit: yes some lophs have white petals, koehrens named those weisse bluete!

    Hey planthelper, I have read your comments & am now wondering how you have come to this conclusion. I highly doubt your seeds would be alberto crosses & if they were how would only one not be? I would say they are albertos or they are not, how big is the biggest one & when were they sown? I grow a lot of cacti from seed & it is very common for the same batch of seeds to grow at very different rates, I have L.williamsii here that were sown three years ago some of these plants are pushing 4cm others are still smaller than my alberto, all the seeds are from one seed pod & have all been grow in exactly the same conditions.

    Cheers

    Also, mmm....morels.

    Although if they're going to be shitty morels, then I take your point. If dole bludgers are raising children who degrade the overall standard of Australian Morchella species, then yeah, string the fuckers up!

    LOL, sorry for my shitty spelling.

    Geez, have you seen what's going on with ICAC lately? Ripoffs aren't just confined to the ranks of the poor. Some of our most wealthy have an overwhelming sense of entitlement and have no compunctions about using their advantage to the detriment of others

    If you're only singing the song of the Murdoch press and kicking the poor, who, at an estimate are ripping off proportionally way less than the knaves of the wealthy elite ( who, remember, already have food/shelter/security )- then may I commend you to Gina Rinehart's $2 a day salary recommendation for her serfs toiling below ground

    I understand why you & Anodyne replied to my comment as I do sound very one sided. I am fully aware that some most of the biggest crooks are the wealthy. My comment was based on a conversation I have with one off my relatives who is a single mother & thinks she is very smart living in a government house paying cheap rent collecting money for her two children which she proudly tells us she had for the money, she is happy to steal at any opportunity & now gets her kids to help :(. Anyway enough of that, I am sorry for the way I came across.

    Cheers
