I would agree with rigger's comments, there are people in Australia who are proud to be dole bluggers & genuinely think they are smarter than others who work hard to scrape by on a wage. The thing that scares me most about this is these people are having children & raising them to think this way & with the same shitty morels!

I was thinking it could be a Gymnocalycium, just looking at the scaly flower.

I would have to say Zelly's plant is not grandiflorus. Like Dreamwalker said grandiflorus are more square or round. I think the reason people often get confused with this name is because of there common name Queen of the night, people get a plant & get told the common name then look up & see grandiflorus & think that must be it with realizing there are quite a few plant with the same common name, there is Selenicereus, Cereus, Epipes that have the common name Queen of the night.

Edit; I think zelly's first plant is actually Epiphyllum oxypetalum, known commonly as Queen of the night or Dutchman's pipe.

Hey zed, it looks like S. hamatus to me. This is also a very good stock plant when it come to grafting.

This just cements the fact that I am indeed smarter than the majority
I can't believe that adults around the world still argue over make believe characters!

My guess would be there harmless. I come to this conclusion on the thinking Lithops have evolved to be camouflaged, if the were poisonous there would be no need for them to blend in with there surroundings.

Hey mutant, your Selenicereus is S. hamatus & from what I have seen they are not self fertile. There is a good chance it could be crossed with something else from your garden. It should be interesting to see how your fruit turns out & how it taste. The best cacti fruit I have ever tried is Selenicereus megalanthus.

Welcome mate, taking a spore print can be very useful when trying to identify mushrooms. This can be done by cutting the stem from the head of the mushroom, now place the head of the mushroom on a piece of tin foil ( gills facing down) & cover the lot with a cup or bowl & leave overnight, in the morning you can remove the cup/bowl & mushroom carefully from the foil, you should now have your print.
Good luck.

Hey ace, I had a look at Coltricia cinnamomea as a possibility as some photos from above the fruit look quite similar but I ruled it out as there underside is different.
C. cinnamomea has pores that are visible with your eye, 2-3 per mm were M. xanthopus has tiny pores that are very hard to see, 8-10 per mm. Also the yellow base or "foot" of the stem of M. xanthopus seems to be a good way to ID them.

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

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

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

Looking for a hand to work out what this Acacia might be, it reminds me of obtuse but I have my doubts. These plants are growing in a nursery were I work but my boss has know idea what he sowed (some kind of wattle
he tells me), so the seed could of come from anywhere in Australia,so location is no help.I was not able to take photos of the whole trees as my camera makes them to big & I don't know how to make them smaller, I will try to get photos of them later in the week. Anyway here are some photos I took.

I hope these photos will be enough to work out what species this is & look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Found a few of these growing down the back of my work near a creek, they remind me a lot of a turkey tail but grow a stem. They are all growing out of fallen timber.

Sorry about the photo quality, they have pores instead of gills. Any help would be appreciated.

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

Posted
I now have a photos of flowers & open seed pods to see if I can get some help with this one. I am even more keen to work this out as after seeing the flower realized it is not an Acacia. Sorry about photo quality, looking forward to working this out.
Cheers
