    (i was straight by the way).

    :)

     

    Haha - was anyone high during it? I would quite like to hear someone's impression of what it would be like if you were loaded / stoned out of your gourd and then the whole room starts rumbling and shaking.

    nice one d00d! it's great when you finally stumble across that monster patch hey. Pics are always welcomed. Love a good habitat shot. :wink:

    My hunt on the weekend was so fruitful that i now have a sore back... found a few new spots, and one monster location in the forests. One of those days where i literally had to drag myself away and walk past specimens or i would have never gone home!

    I would happily contribute to that thread... Over the years I have noticed a massive difference in colour (dark chocolate brown to almost bright golden yellow), shape, size.... etc. When I first began hunting in Aus, I thought all of the blue bruising finds were all different species. Amazing that they can all be from the same type but grow so differently depending on different things. It would be good to have a documented space for all these different types.

    Now that i think about it; I wonder if there is a correlation between stem size and cap differences.

    For example: wood chip subs don't have to grow very long, only an inch or so, stems before they are high enough to start putting all their energy into their cap, and they tend to become wavy or umbo as soon as early adulthood arrives...

    Subs found in long grass / forest floor with dense debris, on the other hand, grow a massive stem (almost a foot long in some cases) before throwing their energy into the cap, and they tend to stay more convex (or is it concave) and don't become wavy or upturned until they are very old.

    Anyone else notice this?

    Hey SAB'ers,

    Here's a deep house mix I crafted last year which ended up getting used as a symbiosis radio mix. It's the second completed part in a three part installment (for the mind, body and soul) where most tracks are remixed by me, on the fly, using Ableton for the whole project.

    Perfect for listening while working / or just kicking back on this rainy & drizzly Monday.

    The dacshys are great hey.. Most personality in a little dog I have ever seen. And smart too. He's knows all of our weaknesses and how best to exploit them Bad-ass spiky collar is bad-ass, because it also glows in the dark. :wink:

    hope you got a big team of scientists and a microscopy lab to analyse all those sub spores

     

    Errr.... yeah.... sure did. :blush: Should have at least taken a spore print eh? I'll be heading back there this weekend to see if the rains this week have provided any more massive fruiting subs. Will report back if so.

    Yes they grow exceptionally well in mulch gardens for the reasons provided here, the key thing being decaying wood. They are a wood loving species, and they tend to prefer disturbed habitats such as to the sides of an animal trail or human walking track etc.. According to Stamets, when you walk over a section of mycelium the fibres will literally reach out and 'grab' any debris you might have stirred, hence the preference for disturbed locations. If you apply these basic rules outside of the local parks and their wood chip mulch garden beds, and seeking out locations that will retain enough moisture for extended periods, you tend to find yourself in the forest.

    Half the fun is finding them, like a some fungi sleuth. :)

     

    Couldn't agree more. You don't want anyone to 'give' you a patch or a location becuase it's so much more satisfying to find your own.

    happy hunting!

    Here's some of the mostly dried - i reckon they are about 80% dry.. they just need some more time with the epsom salts for full dry. Still quite impressive, since the drying process tends to shrink them a fair bit.

    Shit quality - camera is dead so it's a phone pic :-(

    Sorry, should have had something for size comparison.,.. errrm, i have 'normal' sized fingers!??
